Optimización de los procesos (coagulación, floculación, sedimentación, filtración y desinfección) de la planta de potabilización de agua del municipio de Hato Corozal, Casanare.

Abstract

For the evaluation of the potable water treatment plant of the municipality of Hato Corozal and managed by the utility EPHAC SA ESP, the most important variables that directly affect the quality of the treated water were taken into account, verifying that all the parameters and characteristics of the structures used i n purification comply with Colombian regulations; more specifically with Resolution 2115 of 2007 and Technical Regulation of the Drinking Water and Basic Sanitation Sector. All information on the aspects analyzed in the development of the evaluation of the operation and operation of the purification processes (coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection) in order to improve water treatment is reflected in the document. Through sampling, an idea was obtained of the characteristics of the raw water that enters the PTAP, and based on these values, the optimal and operating variables of each process involved were determined. With the results, conclusions were drawn and the operational and / or structural improvements required to optimize the treatment.
