Sistema de señalización, diseño y control para sedimentador y automatización de desarenador en la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales (PTAR) de Tunja

Abstract

As a company committed to the benefit and improvement of the quality of life of society, Veolia seeks to generate new ideas and projects that help with the integral development of its functions. The present work aims to provide solutions to some of the processes that are carried out manually by the operators of the wastewater treatment plant and that do not have the proper industrial safety standards to perform such tasks. In addition to being extra work in their obligations and daily tasks within the plant, there is the option of two mechanical-electric systems that finally also help improve the final quality of the treated water that is returned to the river.

Within the wastewater treatment plant if the proper procedures are followed, the process will be almost 100% effective; the risks to which an employee is exposed in facilities of this type are mainly musculoskeletal injuries; danger signs, night lighting and proper use of personal protective equipment mean that you are not exposed to such dangers. This is why a light warning system is installed for night or daytime hours when visibility is poor due to weather conditions and operators need to see the location of the sludge system in the settling tanks.
