Optimización del Sistema de Agua Potable ubicada en la parroquia Enokanqui del cantón Joya de los Sachas.

Abstract

This research is based on the Optimization of the Drinking Water system from Enokanqui district located in Joya de los Sachas canton, belonging to Orellana province. The exploratory and evaluative methodology requires monitoring for 4 weeks, at the watersheds from “3 de Noviembre” slope as well as the chlorination in the storage tank whose samples were taken to the laboratory LABSU, establishment belonging to Padre Miguel Gamboa, located in Coca city, Orellana province. Regarding to the Analytical scope, parameters like pH, turbidity, conductivity, total dissolved solids, color, nitrates, alkalinity, chloride, and total and calcium hardness were measured, while in the instrumental area the parameters to be evaluated were, sulfates, nitrates, iron, lead, residual chlorine and, in the microbiological area the total and fecal coliforms were evaluated. The materials used were glass bottles, sterile jars, gloves, beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, pipettes, test tubes, Petri dishes, filtration systems, Bunsen burner, filtration membranes, incubator. The results of the analysis showed that the turbidity, total and fecal coliforms are outside the permissible rates of the INEN 1108:2006 regulations, while the other parameters are in compliance with INEN regulations. The optimal dosage of chlorine was carried out in the laboratory resulting in a value of 1.5ppm, with this concentration and a contact time of 30 minutes, it is possible that the amount of total and fecal coliforms become in 99.9% removable. In this scientific research work it is concluded that “Manual of Operations and maintenance” should be draw up in order to carry out the work required to maintain good results in the plant. It is also recommended that the President of the Administrative Board of Water Supply Enokanqui; implements the alternatives proposed in this research.
