Optimización de la Planta de Tratamiento de Agua Potable de Yanahurco, provincia de Tungurahua.

Abstract

The research objetive was to optimize the treatment plant of the Junta Regional Yanahurco, Tungurahua province. The physical – chemical characterization and microbiological of raw water and drinking water using a systematic sampling and composite simple, where it was found that the drinking wáter after the treatnment has two parameters outside of the norm NTE INEN 1108:2014 which are the pH and turbidity, especially on rainy days, because on a sunny day the drinking water has no parameter out of norm to have greater security in the Maximum Permissible Limits (MLP) was compared with the Consolidated Treaty Secondary Legislation Environmental (CTSLE) and guides for the Wordl Health Organization (WHO). The test were condutec of treatability studies wich different chemicals. Aluminum sulphate, Aluminum Polychloride. Whih aluminum sulphate turbidity of the water rose, in contrast with the aluminum polychloride more an elevator of pH the drinking water is ranked within all yhe Maximum Permissible Limits. It was suggested that the treatment plant of Yanahurco usea dosage o sack and half of 25 kg of aluminum polychloride and 9,5 kg of elevator pH every twelve hour, in addition, the incorporation of the new storage tank to the raw with an area with an área of 12 m2 and height of 3 m, due to the waste of flow that exists from its collection. It concluded that optimized the treatment plant of Yanahurco, in the province of Tungurahua improve the wáter qualityin the parameters of pH and turbidity decreasing operating costs. It is recommended that to use the new dosage and build the new storage tank to avoid the waste of wáter and increase the flow of operation.
