Diseño e implementación de un bebedero con sistema de filtración y desinfección para dotar de agua a la Escuela de Formación de Tecnólogos, ESFOT

Abstract

This research had as main objective to design and implement a stainless steel water fountain with a filtration and disinfection system, in the Escuela de Formacion de Tecnologos (ESFOT) of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional (EPN), to provide water to people that work and study in this area, and thus, reduce the generation of plastic bottles. The project began with the sampling of the drinking water supply and its physicochemical and bacteriological characterization. Considering these results the filtration system was designed to remove chlorine, suspended solids and fecal and total coliforms. Next, the water fountain was constructed, considering access for people with special abilities and the average height of the user. Finally, the place of installation of the fountain was selected based on accessibility location, visibility and closeness of the consumers. The water quality of the drinking fountain is suitable for human consumption, and complies with legal regulations. With the implementation of the water fountain in the ESFOT, the students, and other users now have access to quality filtered water. The development of this work resolve a need and can be used as a model to implement in other areas.
