Optimización del proceso de potabilización de agua en la planta de tratamiento Colonso: Tena.

Abstract

It was optimized the process water treatment plant Colonso: Tena, with the object of obtain quality water for human consumption and reduce the operating costs, for that reason they were conducted laboratory tests to determine the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics, for this was sampled in different points: water shed, raw and drinking in critical conditions of the area where the parameters were identified in the winter times: color, turbidity, alkalinity, phosphates, nitrites and iron they were outside the norm INEN 1108:2006, The parameters before mentioned were tested with treatability with the Pitcher Test method and using aluminum sulphate and lime. By the results of characterization tests removal percentages for the following parameters it was determined: 97.75% Color, Turbidity 98.46%, 75.61% iron nitrites 68.18% are data reflecting the improvement in water quality with the new dosage Alum.

The validation of Colonso drinking water treatment proposed in order to optimization of the plant water treatment Colonso was performed with the final characterization. When defining technical form values and costs at the commercial level, it was determined that the expense for the consumption of aluminum sulfate is less than the current treatment, I feel this $ 354.59 per day in the rainy season specifically. The optimization study should be implemented in the plant Drinking water treatment Colonso, with an amount of aluminum sulfate 466,56Kg / day and 233,28Kg / day lime certain concentrations in the study conducted.
