Abstract

Plant Drinking Water Treatment of Bayas is a plant that supplies the basic drinking water to 1240 families is about 5000 people, this treatment plant is located in the northwest sector of the city of Azogues. This study entitled "Development of a plan for the evaluation of rapid filtration system of the water treatment plant of the board of drinking water of Bayas", aims to collect and analyze historical data of physical parameters to establish levels of efficiency removal, analyze daily flows data input, determine the factors that affect the filter bed to quickly Colmate. Also, evaluate filtration units using standardized procedures contained in the Manual III: Assessment of plants appropriate technology of the Pan American Center for Sanitary Engineering and Environmental Sciences (CEPIS), the tests performed were: speed and flow filtration, analysis of the quality of initial filtrate, duration of filter runs, expansion of the filter medium, duration of the washing process, washing speed, gradation filter bed thickness and mud balls of the filter medium.
