Métodos de desinfección solar y procesos térmicos en comunidades rurales

Abstract

The use of the radiant energy of the solar as a source of inexpensive renewable thermal energy, leads us to look for methods of application as a viable alternative to use it in processes of disinfection of the water, in such a way that it is suitable for human consumption, said Process consists in the elimination and control of the microorganisms that negatively affect its quality, causing in the individuals that consume it, diseases due to the microbial activity that they have. In this research, one of the applications of the use of solar energy for the disinfection of water for human consumption for rural communities is presented, preferably to be applied in scattered housing units. In the present study prior to the treatment of water will determine its physical characteristics, and for this will be used monitoring with aquatic macroinvertebrates, which will provide us with preliminary data on water quality. With this objective, two portable prototypes of experimentation will be installed, based on the following hypotheses: • By the geographical location of our region in which the levels of heliophanía are high, it is possible to enhance the operation of the equipment for solar disinfection. • The hydrological cycle of water (evaporation-condensation) will be used as the basis of the operation of one of the prototypes to remove bacteria and mineral contents in the water that have proliferated or are contributed by the subsoil strata where the slope is located.
