    Determinación de los parámetros óptimos de operación para la puesta en marcha de la Planta de Potabilización de Agua ubicada en Rudio perteneciente a la Parroquia Baños
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-02-22) Aguilar Ramírez, Rosa Jeannela; Zúñiga Delgado, Pamela Martina; Astudillo Ochoa, Sonia Margoth
    It is important to provide water suitable for human consumption to the community, therefore and due to the increase in the population in the Baños parish, the direction of the Baños Potable Water Administration Board decided to build a new treatment plant in order to help supply of the vital liquid to the community, which must comply with the quality parameters established by the INEN 1108: 2020 standard, so in this investigation the optimal operating parameters for the start-up of the Water Treatment Plant are determined. water located in the Rudio sector belonging to the Baños Parish. To know the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of raw water, different analyzes were carried out such as: color tests, turbidity, dissolved solids, pH, fecal coliforms, total coliforms among others, in addition to the determination of the mentioned parameters and residual chlorine in the treated water, in the laboratory of the plant and therefore determine the optimal parameters for the process by means of tracer tests, jar tests, optimization of backwashing and settlers in the treatment plant of water. All these analyzes, calculations and pilot tests helped define the correct operation of the drinking water treatment plant since the results obtained in the tests carried out demonstrated compliance with the requirements of the INEN 1108: 2020 standard, as well as providing the operators of the plant, training so that they can perform their work activities correctly and the purification process is under operating conditions.
