    Optimización del proceso de coagulación en el tratamiento de agua a partir de la adición de basificantes en la planta de tratamiento de agua potable Casigana de la EP-EMAPA-A

    Adding basifying used in drinking water allows conditioning it for optimal treatment, mainly influencing physicochemical parameters such as turbidity, pH, total dissolved solids and alkalinity in the coagulation process. Therefore, different basifying agents such as sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate 5percent, taking as factors study the concentration of coagulant, as well as the added volume of base for an optimal removal of the turbidity. For which three water samples used with high turbidity from the Huachi-Pelileo channel captured in the Casigana drinking water treatment plant of EP-EMAPA-A in the wet season. Jar test was used for the different treatments, the best basifying being calcium hydroxide (a1b2c1) with a removal of 99.4 percent of turbidity, allowing the reduction of at least 20 mg por every L of coagulant and according to the norm INEN NTE 1108: 2014 the parameters evaluated are within compliance with the permissible limits used for drinking water.

    Aprovechamiento del sulfato de aluminio extraído a partir de los lodos generados en la planta de potabilización de agua Casigana de la EP-EMAPA-A, para la clarificación de agua

    In this research the sludge’s from purification plant Casigana from Empresa Pública Empresa Municipal de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Ambato (EP-EMAPA-A) product of its processes was used for obtaining aluminum sulphate as coagulant. The acidification method with sulfuric acid extracted aluminum sulphate type b with physicochemical characteristics suitable for its clarification of water (color removal and turbidity). The aluminum sulphate was obtained by a reaction of the sulfuric acid with aluminum hydroxide (compound present in the sludge) in which the following factors were evaluated; pH of the reaction is carried and the reaction time under agitation, the experimental response was the concentration of aluminum in mg * L-1 obtained in the supernatant. These factors were analyzed by an experimental design of blocks totally random. Resulting in a pH of 1.5 for 30 minutes of reaction; Allowed a recovery of 72.2% of aluminum as aluminum sulfate type b, ensuring its effectiveness as a coagulant according to standards NTE 1903 and NTC: 531 para productos químicos. Sulfato de Aluminio national norm and Colombian norm referenced in Ecuador. The efficacy and dose of the coagulant was evaluated in a jar tests, collecting water samples from the effluent treated by the Casigana treatment plant, evaluating the color and residual turbidity to comply with the NTE 108: 2011 standard.

    Desarrollo del proceso de desinfección para agua embotellada a base de Ozono (O3) en la Planta de Tratamiento de Agua Envasada de la Empresa Pública - Empresa Municipal de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Ambato (EP - EMAPA -A)

    Ecuador is one of the latin american countries with high levels of consumption for bottle water. The Ecuadorian Technical Norm NTE INEN 2 200:2008 establishes the physicochemical and microbiological parameters requested for water to be bottled up, focusing mainly in safeguard the integrity of users who consume this generalized product worldwide. This investigation was done seeing the need of Empresa Publica- Empresa Municipal de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Ambato (EP-EMAPA-A), for implementing an efficient disinfection process for bottled water, for this reason Ozone (O3) was chosen between the most effective, considering it`s high microbicidal power, short contact times and minimum quantities of by- products formed. Considering these criteria, it was determined that the optimum dose of ozone in water to be bottled is 0,15 mgO3/L (Dosage Scale: 1,75 g/h), maintaining a residual ozone concentration equivalent to 0,08 mgO3/L and 0,07 mg/L as demand for ozone required to disinfect water. These established concentrations are supported by previous physicochemical, microbiological and sensorial analyzes carried out to verify the quality and guarantee of the water that will be provided to the local community as an additional service by EP-EMAPA-A.
