Desenvolvimento de software para dimensionamento de estação elevatória de esgoto

Abstract

Urban infrastructure systems include basic sanitation systems, which have a direct link to human health and environmental conservation. It should be approached as a fundamental right of the citizen for the continuous improvement of the quality of life, by reducing the contamination of the environment and the proliferation of diseases associated with water pollution. In this work, a computer program for the design of a sewage pumping station, an integral part of sanitary sewage, was designed to raise sewage from a lower to a higher level by pumping. Therefore, it was necessary to understand all the necessary equations, their calculation order and their translation into computational language. The Visual Basic language was used, which allowed the elaboration of the software. The results were compared with the manual calculation methodology through Excel. Finally, we analyzed the feasibility of using the software, the obstacles to learning the language and developing the software. Thus, it was possible to automate the sizing process of the sewage pumping station.
