Diseño de una planta de tratamiento de aguas y análisis de las aguas servidas del Mercado Central de Paute

Abstract

Over the years, in order to preserve and maintain a good environmental quality of our surroundings, Ecuador has ratified international conventions and treaties, and also applicable legal regulations in order to preserve the integrity of the resources but above all to take care of the water that is fundamental because it helps the development of life on our planet (Carrión, 2014). For this reason, wastewater treatment plants are indispensable to achieve an adequate disinfection and maintain the integrity of the environment. The present study seeks to provide an effective solution aiming to achieve an improvement in wastewater treatment generated in Paute´s Central Market, located in Azuay province. It is considered two areas of study, the first covers the market and an area of influence due to the subdivision of the same in several posts located around that place and the second area to more than de above mentioned includes the entire colonial area of the parish of Paute. Bibliographically, the methodology used to develop the sizing calculations of the plant and the design of plans was determined; at the same time, an analysis of samples was made in order to know the composition of wastewater. The chosen alternative is composed of two fundamental plans; the first one consists of a preliminary treatment, consisting of a sieve and a grease trap. In the second phase, this structure is connected to the lagooning system, which is made up of four stabilization lagoons: one anaerobic, one facultative anaerobic, and two of maturing. It is recommended to carry out a budgetary estimation analysis for the construction of the plant, also, the determination of treatment efficiency and the socialization of the current study with Paute´s population.
