Abstract

The objective of this document is to search and register alternatives to reduce the concentrations of fluorides, present in the water captured from the underground source of the La Manga drinking water treatment plant, taking into account the need of the Orocuese community, with respect to the consumption of high concentrations of fluorides for more than ten years, which have generated negative effects on health; in the short term, producing dental fluorosis in children and in the long term, skeletal fluorosis, cancer, kidney and liver diseases. The project methodology consisted of collecting primary and secondary information, through technical visits to the study area and review of technical documents, consolidating a diagnosis to identify those units that do not comply with their respective operation, once identified, it is suggested and These technical problems are solved, then the ion exchange unit that has not been in operation for approximately 5 years is started and finally alternatives are suggested in the short, medium and long term to reduce the concentrations of fluorides according to the results obtained. This document is carried out within the framework of the institutional internship that the student Erick Camilo Ramírez carried out in the municipal public services company and aims to show the main activities carried out to improve the operational conditions of the plant.
