PLANTAS POTABILIZADORAS DE AGUAS PARA LA REGENERACIÓN DE ACUIFEROS CONTAMINADOS POR NITRATOS Y SU PROCEDIMIENTOWATER TREATMENT PLANTS FOR THE REGENERATION OF NITRATED CONTAMINATED AQUIFERS AND THEIR PROCEDURE
DE FUNCIONAMIENTO"OF OPERATION "
La invención se refiere a un nuevo tipo de planta potabilizadora diseñada para la regeneración de acuiferos y su procedimiento de funcionamiento con aplicación de determinados conceptos de depuración general de aguas como fase previa de desbaste fino y otras metodologías que hasta ahora no han sido aplicadas a este sector técnico, que permiten una perfecta adecuación de la planta al tipo de agua a depurar según la mayor o menor presencia de sustancias extrañas, o bien a la mayor o menor concentración de las mismas en dicha agua, extrayendo cargas minerales y orgánicas, acompañadas de abundante presencia de nitratos que serán gestionados mediante formulación de abonos para su posterior aplicación en tierras cultivables próximas.The invention relates to a new type of water treatment plant designed for the regeneration of aquifers and their operating procedure with application of certain concepts of general water treatment as a preliminary phase of fine slabs and other methodologies that have not been applied to this. technical sector, which allow a perfect adaptation of the plant to the type of water to be purified according to the greater or lesser presence of foreign substances, or to the greater or lesser concentration of the same in said water, extracting mineral and organic loads, accompanied by abundant presence of nitrates that will be managed by formulating fertilizers for subsequent application in nearby arable land.
Hasta el presente las explotaciones de cabana porcina y bovina representan una aportación importante al PIB nacional, aunque por azares tecnológicos se han ido apartando de las explotaciones agropecuarias compensadas, lo que conduce con frecuencia a explotaciones sin una base territorial suficiente para el aprovechamiento de los purines generados por dichas explotaciones .Until now, pig and cattle hog farms represent an important contribution to the national GDP, although due to technological hazards they have moved away from compensated agricultural operations, which often leads to farms without a sufficient territorial base for the use of slurry. generated by these farms.
Esta realidad conjuntamente con la aplicación masiva de abonos minerales al suelo plantea a menudo impactos ambientales severos, donde el vector agua acostumbra a ser la via afectado por la contaminación de nitratos, carga microbiana, presencia de metales y otras sustancias contaminantes . La citada contaminación por nitratos de aguas superficiales y freáticas procedentes de fuentes agropecuarias se considera, a dia de hoy, como el principal problema de contaminación de origen difuso que registra la Unión Europea. La situación española y de algunas comunidades autónomas como Cataluña es especialmente grave por los efectos nocivos que genera, circunstancia que la Comisión Europea ha denunciado de manera reiterada delante de las administraciones tanto catalana como española, por incumplimiento de la directiva 80/778/CE.This reality together with the massive application of mineral fertilizers to the soil often raises severe environmental impacts, where the water vector is usually affected by nitrate contamination, microbial load, presence of metals and other contaminating substances. The aforementioned contamination by nitrates of surface water and groundwater from agricultural sources is considered, today, as the main problem of pollution of diffuse origin recorded by the European Union. The situation in Spain and some autonomous communities such as Catalonia is particularly serious due to the harmful effects it generates, a circumstance that the European Commission has repeatedly denounced in front of the administrations both Catalan and Spanish, for breach of Directive 80/778 / EC.
La contaminación excesiva de recursos hidricos por la presencia de nitratos invalida la aplicación de estas aguas para el consumo de boca, razón por la cual se impone la aplicación de medidas preventivas y correctoras sobre aquellas actividades responsables directas o indirectas de este impacto. Se trata, pues, de una descontaminación de recursos hidricos que permita su utilización como agua para consumo de base por parte de las poblaciones directamente afectadas . Las vias actualmente utilizadas para el suministro de agua potable a zonas afectadas por contaminación de nitratos son fundamentalmente:The excessive contamination of water resources by the presence of nitrates invalidates the application of these waters for mouth consumption, which is why the application of preventive and corrective measures is imposed on those activities directly or indirectly responsible for this impact. It is, therefore, a decontamination of water resources that allows its use as water for basic consumption by the populations directly affected. The routes currently used for the supply of drinking water to areas affected by nitrate pollution are mainly:
- Via 1: Embalse, bombeo del agua recogida en dicho embalse, estación potabilizadora, depósito regulador, bombeo hasta la zona de consumo, cubriéndose en ocasiones grandes distancias de bombeo.- Via 1: Reservoir, pumping of the water collected in said reservoir, water treatment station, regulating tank, pumping to the consumption zone, sometimes covering large pumping distances.
- Via 2: Depósitos de agua y transporte del agua hasta la zona de consumo, mediante cisternas sobre vehículos motorizados . La alternativa a las vias de suministro descritas en el párrafo anterior es el objeto de la presente invención, que propone la actuación ΛΛin situ" para cualquier nivel poblacional, que debe ser suministrado poniendo especial énfasis en aquellos niveles más bajos, especialmente poblaciones inferiores a 500 habitantes. De la via 1 se desprende una evaluación a nivel de costos significativamente desfavorable, dadas sus características de inversión y gastos de operación, encontrándose la inversión en una situación de amortización a largo termino, como consecuencia de su intensidad, (alta relación en el ratio: inversión practicada, número de habitantes servidos) .- Via 2: Water tanks and water transport to the consumption zone, by cisterns on motorized vehicles. The alternative to the supply routes described in the previous paragraph is the object of the present invention, which proposes the action " in situ" for any population level, which must be provided with special emphasis on those lower levels, especially populations of less than 500. From track 1, a significantly unfavorable cost-level evaluation is given, given its characteristics of investment and operating expenses, the investment being in a situation of long-term amortization, as a consequence of its intensity, (high ratio in the ratio: investment practiced, number of inhabitants served).
La via 2 se caracteriza por dar respuestas meramente puntuales a situaciones criticas de escasez, asociadas al servicio, incrementando notablemente el coste real del agua suministrada.Via 2 is characterized by giving merely punctual responses to critical situations of scarcity, associated with the service, significantly increasing the real cost of the water supplied.
Es por estos factores que las alternativas consistentes en actuaciones de potabilización de aguas en áreas próximas a las zonas de consumo ganan terreno, frente a aquellas consistentes en aplicar soluciones de transporte a distancia (canalizaciones y/o viarias).It is due to these factors that the alternatives consisting of water potabilization actions in areas close to the consumption areas gain ground, as opposed to those consisting of applying transport solutions at a distance (channeling and / or roads).
El problema se plantea muy a menudo cuando se trata de adecuar aguas contaminadas para consumo de boca para poblaciones pequeñas, dado que se hace imposible o prácticamente imposible llevar a termino la amortización razonable de la via 1, que comporta la necesidad de subvenciones desproporcionadas, en base a presupuestos generales, cargando el coste de la inversión sobre una población significativamente ampliada, y que no disfruta directamente del servicio. Por otra parte el "principio de subsidiaridad" indica que se tendría que aplicar una solución que viniera marcada por la territorialidad y autosuficiencia. Esto obligarla a un esfuerzo económicamente fácilmente asumible y de ámbito local por parte de la población directamente afectada, que podria beneficiarse del suministro de agua para consumo de boca, a partir de sus propios recursos hidricos después de estar sometida a un tratamiento corrector de potabilización.The problem arises very often when it comes to adapting contaminated water for mouth consumption for small populations, since it becomes impossible or practically impossible to carry out the reasonable amortization of road 1, which implies the need for disproportionate subsidies, in base to general budgets, charging the cost of the investment on a significantly expanded population, and not directly enjoying the service. On the other hand, the "principle of subsidiarity" indicates that a solution that would have been marked would have to be applied for territoriality and self-sufficiency. This will force an economically easily assumable and local effort on the part of the population directly affected, which could benefit from the water supply for mouth consumption, from their own water resources after being subjected to a corrective purification treatment.
La dimensión de la problemática planteada conjuntamente con otras exigencias de tipo sanitario que la ley insiste en remarcar, implican la búsqueda de soluciones que sean técnicamente viables, fáciles de operar, con una elevada repetitividad y con controles suficientes en tiempo real. Todo esto con la finalidad de garantizar en todo momento el carácter de potabilidad.The dimension of the problem raised together with other sanitary requirements that the law insists on stressing, involve the search for solutions that are technically feasible, easy to operate, with high repetitiveness and with sufficient controls in real time. All this in order to ensure at all times the character of potability.
Con la invención propuesta se evitarían básicamente dos tipos de riesgos sanitarios:With the proposed invention basically two types of health risks would be avoided:
- Sobre el sistema respiratorio:- About the respiratory system:
El binomio [hemoglobina - aguas nitradas] conduce con facilidad a la fijación de oxígeno durante la respiración. Población especialmente sensible: niños y personas mayores. - Sobre el aparato digestivo:The binomial [hemoglobin - nitrated waters] easily leads to the fixation of oxygen during respiration. Especially sensitive population: children and the elderly. - About the digestive system:
La presencia de aguas nitradas en el sistema digestivo favorece la formación de nitrosaminas (especialmente sobre bases proteicas) .The presence of nitrated waters in the digestive system favors the formation of nitrosamines (especially on protein bases).
Es por esto que la solución preconizada "in situ" permite acometer un doble objetivo:That is why the solution recommended "in situ" allows to undertake a double objective:
1°) Proporcionar agua potable para el consumo de boca de una manera sostenible, evitando problemas de morbilidad y mortandad asociadas a aguas nitradas.1) Provide drinking water for mouth consumption in a sustainable manner, avoiding problems of morbidity and mortality associated with nitrated waters.
2°) La regeneración de acuíferos contaminados por nitratos (remediación) . Dentro de las técnicas de desnitrificación aplicables ΛΛin situ" se ha elegido la fisico-quimica de separación, con la utilización de membranas que permitan la potabilización de las aguas citadas, convirtiéndola en agua válida para el consumo de boca, permitiendo simultáneamente la recuperación de los acuiferos afectados por la contaminación de nitratos.2) The regeneration of aquifers contaminated by nitrates (remediation). Within the techniques of denitrification applicable ΛΛ in situ "the physical-chemical separation has been chosen, with the use of membranes that allow the potabilization of the mentioned waters, converting it into water valid for mouth consumption, simultaneously allowing the recovery of aquifers affected by nitrate contamination.
Se aplica un método no destructivo de nitratos que conduzca a la obtención de un concentrado salino, que tiene que ser gestionado y tratado de modo diferente; planteándose la reutilización como objetivo básico de su gestión.A non-destructive method of nitrates is applied that leads to the obtaining of a saline concentrate, which has to be managed and treated in a different way; considering the reuse as a basic objective of its management.
Los volúmenes de concentrado salino (entre un 10 y un 20% del total del agua producida) presentarán una concentración entre 5 y 10 veces superior a la concentración de las sales inicialmente presentes en el agua a potabilizar. Como consecuencia de la eliminación casi total de las sales inicialmente presentes mediante la aplicación de filtración tangencial, es preciso llevar a término un afinado salino, haciendo una mezcla de agua desionizada de salida de membranas con agua cruda sin osmotizar, con la finalidad de recuperar aquellos contenidos salinos mínimos que tienen que estar presentes en el agua para el consumo de boca.The volumes of saline concentrate (between 10 and 20% of the total produced water) will present a concentration between 5 and 10 times higher than the concentration of the salts initially present in the water to make it drinkable. As a consequence of the almost total elimination of the salts initially present through the application of tangential filtration, it is necessary to carry out a refining of the salt, making a mixture of deionized water from the membranes exit with raw water without osmotization, in order to recover those minimum saline content that must be present in the water for mouth consumption.
Otro de los fines de la invención es la reducción de la dureza del agua debida a la presencia de calcio y magnesio, con el fin de obtener una agua potable de características óptimas de manera que su mineralización sea débil, y por tanto evitando los graves problemas que el depósito de cal ocasiona en la tuberías e instalaciones interiores en casa del abonado.Another purpose of the invention is the reduction of the hardness of the water due to the presence of calcium and magnesium, in order to obtain drinking water of optimum characteristics so that its mineralization is weak, and therefore avoiding the serious problems that the lime deposit causes in the pipes and interior installations in the subscriber's house.
Otro de los fines de la invención es que la planta potabilizadora objeto de la invención se fabricará sobre un elemento contenedor o chasis fácilmente transportable en la plataforma de un camión o bien en un trailer, con lo que será posible en primer lugar su rápida construcción en una nave industrial dotada de todos los medios y a resguardo de cualquier situación climática adversa, y en segundo lugar podrá trasladarse con suma facilidad, implementándose de forma prácticamente instantánea a su llevada a las proximidades del acuifero.Another purpose of the invention is that the water treatment plant object of the invention will be manufactured on a container element or chassis easily transportable in the platform of a truck or in a trailer, with which it will be possible in the first place its rapid construction in an industrial warehouse equipped with all the means and protected from any adverse climatic situation, and in second place it will be able to move with great ease, being implemented almost instantaneous way to its taken to the vicinity of the aquifer.
Además, la estructura compacta y confinada de la planta, la protege de posibles actos vandálicos, quedando por tanto garantizada la funcionalidad de la misma.In addition, the compact and confined structure of the plant protects it from possible vandalism, thus ensuring the functionality of it.
Las etapas de las que se compone el funcionamiento de la planta potabilizadora preconizada son los siguientes: Etapa n° 1 - Tratamiento fisico-quimico Etapa n° 2 - Pre-tratamiento 1 de osmosis reversa Etapa n° 3 - Pre-tratamiento 2 de osmosis reversa Etapa n° 4 - Tratamiento de osmosis reversa Etapa n° 5 - Cloración final e higienizaciónThe stages that make up the functioning of the proposed water treatment plant are the following: Stage n ° 1 - Physical-chemical treatment Stage n ° 2 - Pre-treatment 1 of reverse osmosis Stage n ° 3 - Pre-treatment 2 of osmosis Reverse Stage n ° 4 - Reverse osmosis treatment Stage n ° 5 - Final chlorination and sanitization

La mezcla de agua con reductor, ácido y anti- incrustante pasa a continuación a los depósitos (20) y después por un micro-filtro de seguridad (42), véase figura n° 2, dotado del correspondiente by-pass (43) finalizando en este punto la etapa n° 3.The water mixture with reducer, acid and anti-fouling agent then passes to the tanks (20) and then to a safety micro-filter (42), see figure 2, equipped with the corresponding by-pass (43). at this point stage n ° 3.
Iniciándose a partir de éste punto la 4a etapa, en la que el liquido pasa por el medidor de pH (52) que regula la bomba dosificadora de ácido (34) y se pueden tomar muestras para el control externo, pasando seguidamente el agua por un transductor de presión (53) provisto de su manómetro (54). La función del transductor (53) es parar la bomba de impulsión (55) si la misma se queda sin agua, pasando a continuación por el conductimetro (54), previéndose antes de la bomba (55) una válvula anti-retorno (56) . La bomba de impulsión (55) incorpora un by-pass (57) con regulación automática y/o manual, dependiendo del variador de frecuencia incorporado al cuadro de control (51). Antes de que el agua entre en la membrana de osmosis inversa (58) pasa por el transductor de presión (59) que regulará e informará al cuadro de control (51) de los valores de lectura. En la membrana de osmosis inversa (58) se produce un fenómeno inverso a la osmosis normal, que se obtiene ejerciendo sobre la disolución concentrada una presión superior a la presión osmótica, de manera que en la misma se produce la separación de nitratos y contaminantes o bien el agua es rechazada.Starting from this point the 4th stage, in which the liquid passes by the pH meter (52) which regulates the metering pump acid (34) and can be sampled for external control, then passing water a pressure transducer (53) provided with its pressure gauge (54). The function of the transducer (53) is to stop the delivery pump (55) if it runs out of water, then passing through the conductimeter (54), provided before the pump (55) a non-return valve (56) . The impulse pump (55) incorporates a by-pass (57) with automatic and / or manual regulation, depending on the frequency inverter incorporated in the control panel (51). Before the water enters the reverse osmosis membrane (58) it passes through the pressure transducer (59) which will regulate and inform the control panel (51) of the reading values. In the reverse osmosis membrane (58) there is a reverse phenomenon to normal osmosis, which is obtained by exerting a pressure above the osmotic pressure on the concentrated solution, so that nitrate and contaminant separation occurs in it. Well the water is rejected.
El agua ya depurada a la salida de la membrana (58) pasa por un conductimetro (59) y caudalimetro (60), pasando finalmente por la toma de muestras (61), o bien aun depósito de agua desomotizada (47) equipado con un juego de nivelesThe purified water at the outlet of the membrane (58) passes through a conductimeter (59) and flow meter (60), finally passing through the sampling (61), or even a de-dosed water tank (47) equipped with a level game
(48-49), provisto (47) de un medidor de pH (62) y un caudalimetro (63) conectados al cuadro de control (51), si el agua del depósito (47) presenta los parámetros correctos medidos por el medidor de pH (62) y conductimetro (63) desde el cuadro de control (51) el agua pasa del depósito (47) a un depósito externo (69) bombeada por la bomba de impulsión (68), después el agua pasa en los que llamaremos 5a etapa, a una cloración mediante hipoclorito proveniente del depósito (24), que es bombeado por la bomba de impulsión (27) hasta el depósito de agua tratada (47) .(48-49), provided (47) of a pH meter (62) and a flowmeter (63) connected to the control panel (51), if the water in the tank (47) presents the correct parameters measured by the meter pH (62) and conductimeter (63) from the control panel (51) the water passes from the tank (47) to an external tank (69) pumped by the impulse pump (68), then the water passes in what we will call 5 to stage, to a chlorination by means of hypochlorite coming from the tank (24), which is pumped by the impulsion pump (27) to the treated water tank (47).
Alternativamente y según la naturaleza del agua que sale de la membrana de osmosis (58) es rechazada y través del correspondiente conducto va aparar a un depósito de rechazo (50) atravesando un conductimetro (67) conectado con el cuadro de control (51), o bien es re-enviada al punto anterior a la bomba de impulsión (55) atravesando el manómetro (64) y el caudalimetro (65) hasta llegar al puntoAlternatively, depending on the nature of the water leaving the osmosis membrane (58), it is rejected and through the corresponding conduit it goes to a reject tank (50) through a conductimeter (67) connected to the control panel (51), or it is re-sent to the point before the impulse pump (55) passing through the manometer (64) and the flowmeter (65) until reaching the point
(66) .(66)
Finalmente y antes de finalizar la etapa, el agua pasa por un convencional sistema de lavado y desplazamiento formado por un depósito, una bomba, un agitador, unas tuberías de conexión de baja presión con la correspondiente valvulería, equipado dicho sistema con caudalímetros, termómetros, manómetros.Finally and before finishing the stage, the water goes through a conventional washing and displacement system formed by a tank, a pump, a stirrer, some low pressure connection pipes with the corresponding valves, equipped with the system flowmeters, thermometers, manometers.
El cuadro eléctrico de control (51) controla para toda la etapa 4a funcione automáticamente, para ello y tal y como puede verse en la figura n° 3 está directamente conectado a un medidor de pH (52) y un caudalímetro (53) situados a la entrada y salida del presostato y manómetro (43-44) respectivamente . Descrito suficientemente la presente invención en correspondencia con las figuras anexas, fácil es comprender que podrán introducirse en la misma, cualesquiera modificaciones de detalle que se estimen convenientes siempre y cuando no se altere la esencia de la invención que queda resumida en las siguientes reivindicaciones. The electrical control panel (51) controls for all stage 4 to work automatically, for this and as can be seen in figure n ° 3 is directly connected to a pH meter (52) and a flow meter (53) located at the inlet and outlet of the pressure switch and pressure gauge (43-44) respectively. Having sufficiently described the present invention in correspondence with the appended figures, it is easy to understand that any modifications of detail that may be considered convenient may be introduced therein, provided that the essence of the invention summarized in the following claims is not altered.
