Optimización del proceso de diseño conceptual de operación de plantas de tratamientos de aguas residuales para la empresa HETWEN.

Abstract

The optimization of the conceptual design process of wastewater treatment plants management for the Company HETWEN Cia.Ltda. located in Ambato city, it was carried out through the selection of mathematical models used in operations for wastewater treatment by deductive methodology which were programmed in a Visual Basic computer software, also the numerical data provided by the company were entered in the calculation platform, later the variables that join in each mathematical model were analyzed and studied to understand the behavior of each them. Finally, it was done the verification and validation of this tool using the Delphi method where it was achieved the following: easy use 90%, good interface 75%, program comprehension 70%, understanding the results provided by the calculation module 90%, accuracy of results 80%, these data are provided by ten technicians with experience in software development who were selected by the sponsoring company. It is concluded that it must acquire an automation platform of different mathematical models used for wastewater treatment, easy to use which leads to a decrease in the design time of this type of treatment plants management; it is recommended that HETWEN company and its staff implement this calculation tool immediately as a technological tool that allows them to have a competitive advantage and it can provide a more efficient service to its customers.
