Diseño de una planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales con tecnología de lodos activos, para la parroquia de San José de Ayora, Cayambe

Abstract

The commitment and environmental responsibility of public and private entities, together with the participation of the academic community to provide solutions to environmental problems, has allowed the development of projects that contribute to environmental management and sustainability principles; being the case of wastewater management the section to be highlighted in this investigation. The purpose of this work is to show the processes carried out for the development of a domestic wastewater treatment system for the San José de Ayora parish, Cayambe. The absence of an efficient system of domestic wastewater treatment is the motivator of this work, which has been developed by obtaining data in the field for the realization of water quality analysis, experimental formulas for the variables involved in the design of the aforementioned structure, such as flow, volumes of the tanks, area to be evaluated, quantity of sludge produced, dosage for disinfectants, retention times, among others. We also present a bibliographical support for the use of the data obtained in the research and that allows us to interpret them in an appropriate way, considering the theoretical considerations for certain parameters, which were used to support the sizing of the plant. At the end of this work, the final product was the plans for the design of a wastewater treatment plant with active sludge technology, which will serve as a guide and basis for its construction and implementation, as well as academic purposes for future studies.
