Resumen
El agua es un recurso imprescindible para la vida. En respuesta a la problemática de la contaminación en la actualidad, agudizada por los efectos negativos de diversas enfermedades de origen hídrico, se han desarrollado diferentes métodos para el tratamiento del agua potable. Estos se implementan mediante la construcción de las plantas potabilizadoras que consisten en un conjunto de equipos destinados a tratar el agua de modo que sea apta para el consumo humano.
El trabajo actual tiene como finalidad el análisis de alternativas para potabilizar el agua en la planta de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de las Villas (UCLV), dado el deterioro de la misma. En este se realiza un diagnóstico de la infraestructura de la planta y una evaluación del funcionamiento de la misma que permitieron proponer las medidas necesarias para mejorar su operación.
Como resultado principal se obtienen los problemas fundamentales que afectan la planta, la evaluación de los principales parámetros físicos, químicos y microbiológicos que definen la calidad del agua y por tanto la eficiencia del proceso, así como el dimensionamiento de dos alternativas con las capacidades necesarias para realizar el tratamiento adecuado del agua para consumo humano en la UCLV.
Atendiendo al análisis económico unido a la importancia y necesidad de dicha instalación en este centro se propone acometer la inversión para la alternativa I, que tiene básicamente la estructura de la instalación actual, con las mejoras identificadas en el diagnóstico realizado y con la capacidad requerida para satisfacer la demanda de agua potable actual
Water is an indispensable resource for life. In answer to the problem of contamination at the present time, made worse by the negative effects of diverse illnesses of hydric origin, different methods have been developed for the treatment of drinking water. These are implemented through the construction of treatment plants s that consist on a group of equipments dedicated to treat the water so it is adequate for human consumption. The purpose of the current is the analysis of alternatives for the treatment of water in the plant of the Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de las Villas (UCLV), given the deterioration of the same. In this is carried out a diagnosis of the infrastructure of the plant and an evaluation of the operation of the same that allowed to propose the necessary measures to improve their operation. As the main result the fundamental problems are obtained that affect the plant, the evaluation of the main physical chemical and microbiological parameters, that define the quality of the water and therefore the efficiency of the process, as well as the designing of two alternatives with the necessary capacities to carry out the treatment of the water adequately for human consumption in the UCLV. Assisting to the economic analysis together with the importance and necessity of this installation in this centre intends to carry out the investment for the alternative I that has the structure of the current installation basically, with the improvements identified in the diagnosis carried out and with the capacity required to satisfy the demand of current drinking water.
