“Diseño de la planta de tratamiento, tanque de almacenamiento y red de distribución de agua potable para la Comuna Santa Clara de San Millán perteneciente al Distrito Metropolitano de Quito”

Abstract

This technical project is aimed at the design of a treatment plant, storage tank and distribution network that make up a Water System for the Santa Clara de San Millán Commune (CSCSM) located in the Belisario Quevedo parish, Quito Canton, Pichincha province. The problem that was identified is that the piped water service is not continuous in the upper area of the commune due to the absence of a suitable Drinking Water System, which has generated discomfort in the residents. Therefore, the design was carried out in the pre-feasibility stage of a treatment plant that has a tray aerator and a drip disinfection system; a square storage tank with a capacity of 30 m³; and a distribution network with an open branch type that has its respective accessories for optimal operation, these components were designed for a useful life of 30 years. Finally, the results obtained corresponding to the hydraulic designs satisfy the parameters required in the regulations CO 10.7-601 and CO 10.7-602 and according to the economic and environmental analysis the project is viable for its application.
