Sistema de cloración automático para la Junta Administradora de Agua Potable Regional Oriental Mulaló-Joseguango Bajo-Aláquez

Abstract

ABSTRACT In this research project the main chemical and physical parameters of water specifically for human consumption are analyzed, from which a system is designed to improve water quality for end users, considering the help of a chemical agent called calcium hypochlorite, which due to its properties allows to eliminate, neutralize and reduce microorganisms present in the water in order to obtain the vital liquid in better conditions. The permissible limits of the parameters that are considered in this research work are linked to norms established for Ecuador. The design of the system is based on automating the dosage of calcium hypochlorite, that is, controlling the amount of chemical that enters the main tank through a peristaltic pump, based on calculations depending on the number of end users. The system has several sensors that do not allow the waste of the vital liquid, as well as the solution with calcium hypochlorite. In addition, it provides information to the technicians in charge of the decontamination system, the pH, water and temperature levels are sent through a GSM wireless communication so that the water quality is controlled daily, finally so that the drinking water has a permanent decontamination if the hypochlorite solution is exhausted, an alert message is issued, the dosing pump is disabled and the intake of non-decontaminated water to the main tank is closed by means of a solenoid valve. The entire implementation of the system works using renewable energy that is sunlight harnessed by solar panels.
