    Evaluación técnica del proceso de filtración rápida y cloración en la Planta de Tratamiento de Agua Tixán
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-07-18) Abad Durán, Daniela Isabel; Guaraca Vásquez, Jonnathan Edmundo; Guanuchi Quito, Alexandra Elizabeth
    The Tixán water treatment plant is a conventional type plant, which belongs to the ETAPA EP company, which is located in the Chiquintad parish of the Cuenca canton, with a maximum flow capacity of 1940 l / s in modules I and II, this plant, aims to supply a projected population of 549646 inhabitants, until the year 2045. The following work was carried out an evaluation of the rapid filtration and chlorination processes within the water treatment plant, to meet this objective the historical data was collected and analyzed of the plant belonging to the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, where the inlet flows will be considered in addition to the physical parameters of the water during the filtration and chlorination process, in order to quantify the performance of the filters belonging to the modules in operation of the plant, which is expressed as a percentage of removal, considering the factors that affect the clogging of each of the filters of the plant and verify the optimal dose of chlorine in each of the chlorination chambers using the residual chlorine data. To carry out the evaluation of the filters and the chlorination chambers, standardized procedures obtained from Manual III from (CEPIS), were established, the tests carried out were: Speed and filtration flow rate, Initial filtration quality, Turbidity of the filtered water, Duration of filtration strokes, Characteristics of the washing system, Duration of the washing process, Characteristics of the filter medium, Granulometry of the filter medium, Filter bed profile, Expansion of the filter bed, mud balls, characteristics of chlorination chambers.
