Diseño de una Planta Purificadora y Envasadora de Agua en Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas

Abstract

Water is considered one of the most important components for life, it is used in a number of activities such as industry, agriculture, livestock, for each a treatment process is performed, then proceed to purify for human consumption, which is why the water purification and bottling plant has been designed in Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas. The methodology used for the realization of the thesis was descriptive, in which the analysis of the water of the distribution system was started, after which the data was tabulated and proceeded to its analysis for the identification of the process variables. With these data, the engineering calculations were made and the water purification system was dimensioned, for which, it was determined that the pump power is 1.4 Hp; the filtration flow rate is 6E-4 m3/s, its filtration speed is 1.18m/s, the Reynolds number is 29831.3 being a turbulent flow, the volume of the tank and the polygrass filters are: 6.84m3 and 0.069m3 respectively. On the other hand, the parameters analyzed for bottled water are within the NTE INEN 2200-2008 standard. It is recommended that the company "SAYEN" implement this water purification plant, as well as build a mini-laboratory for their respective physical-chemical and microbiological analyses or take their samples to a laboratory certified by the ministry, in order to obtain the operating permit from the Ministry of Public Health and the sanitary registration of each of the presentations.
