Optimización de la Planta de Tratamiento de Agua Potable Chaquishca de la E.P-EMAPA-G.

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is the Optimization of the Treatment Plant of Drinking Water Chaquishca from the Public Enterprise Municipal Enterprise of Drinking Water and Sewage –Guaranda E.P-EMAPA-G, located in the Parrish Guanujo, province of Bolivar. For the development of this investigation was employed the experimental method and the technique of sampling, where the physical-chemical and microbiologic analyses were made, during three months, in every month was execute five samples. These analyses were taken in the laboratory of The Treatment Plant Chaquishca by using the necessary equipment for the determination of the required parameters and the Jar Test. Consequently, with the characterization of water was determined the parameter that were found outside the norm with iron concentration 0.31 mg/L, turbidity 30.16 NTU and color with 80 UTC. By means of the processes simulation and proofs made based on the obtained results in the secondary characterization of water already treated previously, obtained in summer conditions: iron concentration of 0.09 mg/L, turbidity of 0.40 NTU, color of 1.00 UTC, and in rain conditions: iron concentration of 0.07 mg/L of 0.32 NTU and color of 1.00 UTC, both were found within the maximum limit allowable by the technique Norm INEN 1108:2006 for drinking water. It exists a settling tank, where two rows of plaques enter 94 plaques inclined to 60°, of 1.20m of longitude, 2.4m of width and 0.01 m of thickness, per each row, in total will have 188 flat plaques of sedimentation. It is concluded that at the moment to make the optimization of Drinking Water Plant will distribute water to the city of Guaranda with acceptable characteristics for its consumption, that is why the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the canton Guaranda must implement this Project with the aim to provide the population, quality water guaranteeing health and wellbeing to the inhabitants.
