Abstract
This research carried out a prefeasibility analysis of the water supply alternatives available to the University of the Coast, these are well water and drinking water supplied by the company providing the aqueduct service (EPSA), with the objective of identify a viable means of drinking supply for the institution. For this, the two types of water were characterized and which one required treatment was identified, in this case it was groundwater since its alkalinity and hardness parameters did not meet the limits established by resolution 2115: 2007, which is why evaluated as softening alternatives the filtration techniques with activated carbon based on coconut endocarp where a removal of 8% of total hardness and 25% of calcium hardness was obtained and on the other hand, coagulation / flocculation with Cal-Soda which threw a result of 85% effectiveness for the removal of total hardness and 82% in calcium hardness, the latter being the most efficient in the removal, however it altered some parameters for which the combination of the two techniques was chosen as treatment using the 20g filter with 80.48% total hardness removal and 73.33% calcium hardness. Regarding the prefeasibility analysis, it was identified that the most technically and economically viable alternative for the university to have totally potable water for its supply is to exclusively use the provision of the public water service (EPSA).
