Rediseño de la planta de tratamiento de agua potable para la parroquia Linares, cantón El Chaco.

Abstract

This research aimed to redesign the System Drinking Water Treatment of Linares Parish, Chaco Cantón, in order to improve water quality and life of the population. An inspection of the current system of treatment was carried out to identify potential system failures, then a chemical and microbiological physical characterization was performed using a simple sampling through samples collection at collections points (water raw) and system output. Analytical calculations were performed by the Laboratory of Analytical Services Chemical and Microbiological Water and food (SAQMIC) based on the method of analysis of APHA_AWWA _ WPCF Standards: The analysis determined that the uptake coliforms (CT = 1160 CFU/ 100ml met and CF = 180 CFU / 100ml), pH (6.41), nitrites (0,090mg / L) and Phosphates (4,950mg / L) because of the source of resources doesn´t have any protection, about water intake is carried out anthropogenic activities such as livestock and agriculture; in the system output coliforms (CT = 1858 CFU / 100ml and CF = 138 CFU / 100ml), Color (22 Und Co / Pt), Nitrites (0,015mg / L), Phosphates (3,520mg / L), in the current system there is a stagnation of water in an Imhoff tank, determined that these parameters are outside the Ecuadorian Technical Standard INEN 1108: 2011. In order to improve water quality in the new design, it focuses on removing materials solid and elimination of pathogens, which consist of a sand trap, a filtration system, aeration and disinfection, ensuring water quality, so it is recommended periodic sampling of water consumed and maintain a register of monitoring water quality.
