Abstract

Currently there is an urgent social and environmental need to ensure the supply of drinking water to the population, in this case the Technological University of Tlaxcala (UTT), within the university there is a well from which drinking water is obtained and looking for an alternative to supply drinking water to the university community, this project is proposed which consists of the use and filtration of rainwater. This project is about purifying rainwater for human consumption and consists of a series of filters. Among which we have the paper cartridge filter that keeps solids, particles and other impurities out of liquid solutions, suspensions and other liquids, as well as an activated carbon filter and a zeolite filter. The zeolite filter will provide purer water and the activated carbon filter will remove the taste and odor from the water. Now we know that the treatment of water for human consumption is a complex process that introduces chemical elements to the water, the best known is chlorination and the most important is the filtration that consists of obtaining drinking water through a system of cartridge filters, activated carbon and zeolite, among others.
