DISEÑO DE UNA PLANTA COMPACTA DE TRATAMIENTO DE AGUA POTABLE PARA LA BIBLIOTECA GENERAL DE LA UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE MANABÍ

Abstract

This research involves the design of a compact plant water treatment that will be used to supply this vital liquid independently of the public to the Library of the Universidad Técnica de Manabí. This plant was designed in compact form so that it can proceed to transmit it when convenient. To carry out the above, consideration was given to the raw water intake, based on calculation the number of students who use the services of the General Library of the Universidad Técnica de Manabí. Order to establish the appropriate production rate that will meet the demand, tank design was considered the power of the pump and the previously calculated flow rate, also identified as a raw water intake Portoviejo river channel that crosses through the ground Universidad Técnica de Manabí and area laboratories of the Faculty of Veterinary Science is visible and it was decided that this would be the point of capture due to be the closest place to the General Library. The plant design is to establish the relevant unit operations to perform water purification, screening, pre coagulation sedimentation flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and storage and distribution finally treated water, calculating the capacity and design of both tanks and equipment is carried out considering the population demand of students and people who come to the library, the plant flow rate was set to 1m3 / h. Analysis was also performed raw and treated water were obtained optimal doses of chemicals (jar test) for future potable and raw water and thus obtain optimal drinking water quality.
