Rediseño para la mejora del sistema de abastecimiento hídrico del Oceanogràfic de Valencia

Abstract

[ES] El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo principal rediseñar el suministro hídrico del Oceanogràfic, acuario situado en la ciudad de Valencia, desde su toma en el mar hasta las propias instalaciones. La causa que motiva el trabajo radica en ciertos problemas detectados en la instalación, por lo que se va a plantear la sustitución parcial de ésta.

Hasta la fecha, los problemas observados tienen que ver con la calidad del agua con la que se abastece a los animales, la cual ha disminuido al quedar la toma encerrada en el Puerto de Valencia tras su última ampliación. Además, se han hallado fugas en algunos tramos, por lo que el trabajo planteado contempla un nuevo sistema de abastecimiento que permita subsanar ambos problemas y que la nueva instalación preste servicio adecuadamente a todos los hábitats del acuario. Dicho sistema plantea, además de la definición del nuevo trazado, la modificación de los grupos de bombeo actuales en caso de que fuese necesario.

El modus operandi consistirá, en primer lugar, en estudiar el esquema de la instalación del acuario y las demandas a satisfacer, para lo que se cuenta con la colaboración del equipo técnico responsable. A continuación, analizar la distribución en planta de las instalaciones y la toma y las diferencias de cota entre sí, para lo que se empleará cartografía del Instituto Geográfico Nacional y la plataforma Q-GIS. Por último, para la integración de toda la información anterior y la toma de decisiones, se elaborará el modelo numérico EPANET para instalaciones hidráulicas de flujo a presión.

[EN] The main purpose of this project is to redesign the hydraulic supply of the Oceanogràfic, an aquarium located in the city of Valencia, from its intake in the sea to their own hydraulic system. The cause that motivates the project consists in certain problems detected in the installation, for which the partial substitution of this one is going to be considered. To date, the problems observed are related to the quality of the water that is supplied to the animals, which has decreased its quality since the intake was enclosed in the Port of Valencia after its latest expansion. In addition, some leaks have been found in the section of the Marina Real canal, so the proposed project contemplates a new supply system to remedy both problems and ensure that the new installation adequately serves all the aquarium habitats. In addition to the definition of the new route, this system also involves the modification of the current pumping units, if necessary. The modus operandi will consist, firstly, in studying the aquarium installation scheme and the demands to be met, with the collaboration of the technical team in charge. Next, to analyze the distribution of the facilities and the intake and the differences in elevation between them, for which the cartography of the National Geographic Institute and the Q-GIS platform will be used. Finally, for the integration of all the previous information and decision making, the EPANET numerical model for pressurized flow hydraulic installations will be elaborated.
