We were contracted to design the new potable water plant in Durazno, integrating hydraulic, architectural, and roadway components. With a treatment capacity of 900 m³ per hour, this plant was designed to include modern and efficient processes.
The plant design considered the following stages:
- Conventional treatment: Coagulation, flocculation, high-rate sedimentation, and dual-media filtration with sand and anthracite.
- Advanced filtration: A granular activated carbon layer was added for deeper purification.
- Sludge treatment: A process was included to thicken and dewater the generated sludge, improving waste management.
Our work focused on several key areas:
- Process units: We designed each unit of the treatment plant.
- Chemical rooms: We planned the rooms for the preparation and dosing of chemicals, as well as for chlorination.
- Piping: We designed the pipelines for the conveyance of raw and treated water.
This project allowed us to design essential infrastructure for the future of Durazno, ensuring a high-quality potable water supply for the community.
