Abstract
The “Design, Implementation, and Validation of Compact Surface Water Purification Plant with Independent Power” project has been carried out based on Agreement No. 008-FIDECOM-INNOVATE Peru-PIMEN-2017, in partnership between the Universidad de Piura, Embonor del Norte EIRL, and Innovate Perú. The project's main objective is to provide a compact, mobile, flexible, easy-to-assemble system with low maintenance costs and an independent power supply, that provides high-quality water from surface water sources in isolated areas. The plant was designed with nine filters to eliminate any pathogens that may be found in the source water. The disinfection system uses a UV reactor. The support structures were digitally simulated to optimize spaces, while the power supply uses a stand-alone photovoltaic system. To validate the results, water quality tests were performed in an INACAL-accredited laboratory, according to the Water Quality for Human Consumption Regulations contained in DS 031-2010-SA, as well as product testing with consumers. It is important to note that this compact plant is ideal for avoiding drinking water shortages caused by natural disasters, such as the Coastal El Niño phenomenon of 2017, that periodically affect the region of Piura.
