Diseño del alcantarillado sanitario, para mejorar la calidad de vida de la comunidad de Hualcanga La Dolorosa, del cantón Quero, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The importance of this Technical Project lies in ensuring that the wastewater generated is transported and evacuated safely without causing damage to the environment. For this reason, the design of a sanitary sewer system is presented together with a wastewater treatment plant, which will be a project of great benefit for the entire community since it will contribute to better sanitation for the inhabitants. The project starts from a topographic survey using a high precision equipment (Trimble R8s), later a community survey was carried out to establish the number of people that exist in the sector, thus being necessary data for the designs. The part of the sanitary sewer system supplies most of the homes in the sector with a total length of PVC pipe of 6078.42 meters and a design flow of 6.49 liters per second. As for the wastewater treatment plant, it is made up of: a grid, a sand trap, an Imhoff tank, a drying bed and an upflow anaerobic filter (FAFA), which will help to remove contaminants present in the sewage coming from the houses of the community. In addition, the project includes: the respective calculations, an environmental impact study, a referential budget, a valued work schedule, technical specifications and design plans for the sanitary sewer system and the wastewater treatment plant.
