Diseño de una planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales y la determinación de las propiedades físico-químicas, en la población de Mulaló para su dimensionamiento

Abstract

Pollution is a problem that has been increasing over the years, and this is a very important issue today. Natural resources are being affected to a great extent, which is why projects that contribute to environmental management have been created in collaboration with public and private entities. The purpose of this project is to present an alternative to the treatment of domestic wastewater in the province of Cotopaxi, Mulaló parish, specifically in the consolidated area, which is made up of 5 neighborhoods and a subdivision, with the construction of a wastewater treatment that complies with the permissible discharge limits to a fresh water source based on current environmental regulations. The sizing of the plant was developed with data analyzed, also with certain theoretical parameters as bibliographic support, which is made up of a system of grids, a desander, anaerobic lagoon, facultative lagoon, and two maturation lagoons. Finally, the design plans for this construction were obtained and an economic, technical, and social analysis was carried out.
