- Abstract
The Northeast experienced the largest drought ever recorded in the state of Ceará between the years 2012 and 2017, with the Upper Jaguaribe Basin region being one of the most affected areas, specifically the city of Acopiara. Besides the quantitative aspects, the quality of the springs is also a concern for the public water supply. In order to enable the existing water treatment systems to acquire efficiency in the treatment of low quality water there is an urgent need for adjustments and investments in the sector. The objective of this work is to propose structural improvements to the Acopiara Water Treatment Plant in order to improve water treatment and verify the possibility of increasing production with the current system, aiming at meeting the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters established by the ordinance in force. Some tests and data collection were performed on site, as well as calculations for sizing and verification of the actual capacity of the system. It was identified that the current flow rate does not meet the demand of the system, and that the existing filters need intervention in relation to operation, and structural in what concerns the repair of diffusers and replacement of the filter bed. It was also verified that there is a possibility of improving the treatment efficiency by installing two descending filters, adopting the double filtration system. The proposed adjustment is an efficient suggestion with low installation cost compared to other available technologies, besides adapting to variations in the quality of raw water, contributing to the improvement of the population's health and also meeting the demands of the legislation and the regulatory agency.
