Diseño y protección de un sistema de tratamiento fisicoquímico y microbiológico para el agua del Cantón Chambo.

Abstract

In this work it was designed a potabilicity system and protection for the water of the canton Chambo with the purpose of improving the current sys tem that fulfills the norms to obtain an it dilutes of quality for domestic use of this canton. For that which was characterized the water of the sources of Catequilla and Cubillin, through six representative points of the pipe until arriving to the distri bution tank; you determines by means of twenty - two parameters the chemical physical analyses and microbiológicos, what allowed to evaluate it and to classify it according to the norm 1 108 of the Ecuadorian Institute of Normalization. You determines the to tal flow of 28800 L/h that I help us to design the tank of slow filtration of sand adapted for this system. The obtained results indicated us a small hardness of the water and the presence of total and fecal coliformes. He/she intends a process that consis ts of: a tank breaks pressure (primary desarenador), a reception tank (secondary desarenador), a slow filter of sand, a cloracion tank and a distribution tank, this system is appropriate for the means and he/she offers facilities for its construction. The dosage of the hipoclorite of calcium was calculated for the disinfection process that is of 3604.11 Kg. for year, with 70% of purity. It is recommended to implement a system of measures of environmental protection to protect of the contamination and this w ay to obtain water of quality at a minimum cost for the population of the canton.
