Abstract

Abstract:Dairy industries require reliable drinking water treatment systems that help guarantee the quality and safety of their products, the company Ecualac - lacteos ecuatorianos SA currently supplies municipal water and tankers, drinking water is a primary need for this company In the absence of this, it is forced to consume drinking water at a high cost causing economic losses at the level of all its processes. In order to have a good quality water drainage system, the following work was carried out in which the water quality of an underground source located within the company Ecualac - lacteos ecuatorianos S.A. was determined. Given the characteristics of this water with a high amount of dissolved solids, a physicalchemical process was proposed through pre-oxidation, chemical mixing, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, absorption, ion exchange and disinfection. Jar test tests were performed to determine the optimal dose of chlorine, coagulant and flocculant. The system described in this work ensures water quality according to the standards established in NTE INEN 1108: 2006 for water for human consumption.
