Diseño de una planta envasadora de agua para la Junta Administradora de Agua Potable Galten – Guilbut ubicada en el cantón Chambo.

Abstract

The aim of this research is design a water bottling plant for Junta Administradora de Agua Potable Galten - Guilbut located in Chambo Canton, the water stemming from springs is chlorinated to supply to the population, it contains a high concentration of phosphates. It is necessary to provide purified water to the population, due to the piped water does not have enough quality to ensure the long-term consumers health, it requires a treatment to accomplish with the INEN 2200: 08 standards: Purified Packaged Water Requirements. Physical-chemical and microbiological analyzes were done on a sample of water without treatment, following INEN methods, using volumetric, gravimetric and instrumental techniques. The results obtained after the characterization to raw water showed that the parameters out of norm are the phosphates 0.77mg / L total coliforms 1 CFU / 100ml. With the experimental data engineering calculations were designed, which were useful to design the hole process. Through treatability tests, it was possible to reduce the phosphate concentration 0.08: mg / L, and the absence of total coliforms, to be into INEN 2200: 08 standard. The results show that with a reverse osmosis process could be possible obtains a low concentration of water components. The design requires a flow of 7.14 m3. This will be composed of a hyperfiltration system containing zeolite, an activated carbon filter, the reverse osmosis equipment with a filter membrane that will have 70% permeate, a UV equipment, three tanks that will be available for raw water, water purified and reject water, respectively, a bottle washing system and a manual packaging system.
