Evaluación del diseño y construcción de la Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales del Municipio de Labranzagrande - Boyacá

Abstract

The project is the evaluation of the design and construction of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of the municipality of Labranzagrande - Boyacá, which corresponds to a wastewater treatment system using anaerobic reactors type UASB (upward flow) which allow internally separate the treated effluent, the biomass and is responsible for reducing concentrations of organic matter. This evaluation was carried out in order to give continuity to the project and make some corrections and recommendations for its proper functioning upon completion, this in order to give a better quality of life to the inhabitants of the municipality of Labranzagrande - Boyacá and to the populations located downstream. The procedure that was carried out for this project was: field visits and inspections, thus knowing the physical and environmental conditions that frame the PTAR, thus helping us to a detailed description of the wastewater treatment system under study. Topographic, hydraulic, structural and environmental investigations were carried out, photographic samples were also taken, measurements of each of the existing units, then with the results obtained we proceeded to the evaluation phase of the current state of the treatment system under study, specifying the various causes of inoperability of the WWTP and also verifying its physical characteristics with those provided in the specifications technically established in the regulations and corresponding documentation, finally, recommendations were given for the future termination of the WWTP.
