Evaluación operacional e hidráulica de la planta de tratamiento de agua potable, empresas públicas de Armenia E.S.P.

Abstract

The water being a main resource for human sustenance, the water treatment plant requires to be evaluated in each of its processes to diagnose the state in which each of them is found through optimal laboratory tests, evaluation Hydraulic and evaluation of design parameters in the main processes which are: coagulation and rapid mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The present paper describes each of the processes for the treatment of water to be evaluated on the operational operation in order to estimate the hydraulic behavior by means of mathematical models for non-ideal flow and design parameters of each of the stages of: coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The evaluation of the processes is developed by experimental field methods resulting in a range of parameters to be related to eac h other. The diagnosis and recommendations were obtained from the operational point of view and from comparing data obtained experimentally with the design of each process.
