Diseño de redes de aguas servidas y PTAR del campus María Auxiliadora de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Abstract

The main objective of this degree work is to propose a design of wastewater networks in the discharge line at the exit of the blocks to a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for the María Auxiliadora campus of the Salesiana Polytechnic University, guaranteeing compliance with current environmental standards. The proposal seeks to promote sustainable solutions that contribute to the well-being of the university community. The implemented methodology has an experimental approach for the registration of flows, collection of administrative data, to then carry out the analysis of results of the samples taken by an internal and external laboratory, as well as the respective topographic survey, evaluation of the current conditions of the existing sanitary structures and review of the respective discharge lines. Among the main findings, it is evident that the current collection system is insufficient to satisfy the current and projected demand of the university campus. Therefore, a proposal is proposed that includes interconnection improvements to the wastewater discharge lines and the implementation of a Wastewater Treatment Plant that covers the present and future needs of the university community. The results obtained highlight the technical and environmental viability of the proposal, underlining the importance of adopting sustainable measures that not only resolve current deficiencies, but also guarantee long-term sustainability in the management of wastewater from the María Auxiliadora campus.
