    Repotenciación del sistema de agua potable de Ulba, cantón Baños de Agua Santa mediante el uso de energía alternativa

    The present project contains the design of an improvement option for the current drinking water system in the urban center of the Ulba Parish in the Baños de Agua Santa canton, increasing the available volumes and, above all, water quality. It is proposed: the catchment of watersheds known as Crystal Waters; Located on the left bank of the river Ulba downstream of its waterfall, two pipes with gravity one from the uptake to the existing low reserve tank of 200 m3, which has a chlorination system, to supply the low network of the current system ; And another that reaches the suction tank, for its pumping to the existing reserve in the treatment plant, which has a capacity of 200m3; And that serves the high net of Ulba. In order for the driving lines to cross the river Ulba, a suspended overpass is designed. The project proposes a pumping system with electric motors pumps, but also proposes the implementation of a non-traditional pumping system, which works by taking advantage of the hydroelectric power of the Chamana River by means of a turbo pump: Pelton turbine - piston pump; For the operation of this equipment there is a bottom uptake in the Chamana River, a desalinator and a subsequent conduction towards the pumping equipment: Turbine - pump. The financial analysis determines, due to the existing conditions in the field, that the option of non-traditional pumping, using alternative energy, contemplated in this project, is more convenient than a pumping with electric motors. For the realization of the design, the current regulations such as those of the SENAGUA Water Secretariat and the environmental norms that govern the TULSMA construction procedures were used.
