Desarrollo de un software para el diseño de unidades de floculación para la potabilización convencional del agua

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to develop software for the automated design of flocculation units in water treatment, addressing the need to optimize and streamline this process. CONAGUA spreadsheets and the MATLAB R2022a programming language were used to create software that automates calculations and generates graphical schematics. The results obtained were validated by comparison with previous designs, showing relative errors of less than 1% in most variables. The conclusions indicate that the software improves the efficiency and accuracy of the design, offering a versatile tool adaptable to diverse operating conditions and water quality. Furthermore, the alignment of the project with Sustainable Development Goal 6 is highlighted, promoting efficient and sustainable water resource management.
