The work of the engineer of Roads, Channels and Ports Pablo Espín facilitates the design of tanks that minimize the spills in Murcia
The pollution curve (polutograma) in the networks of sanitation of Murcia as a function of rainfall has earned the Engineer of Paths, Channels and Ports by the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) Pablo Espín the Master's End Prize of his promotion, Delivered by the Official College of this profession.
Measuring the turbidity in the water in two urban basins that collect the contributions of houses and scuppers in the city of Murcia, Espín has developed a statistical model that allows to predict the suspended solids that will take the rains to the sanitation network.
"Among the dragged materials are pollutants from the urban surface, such as heavy metals left by road traffic, and deposits accumulated in the pipes," explains the student of the Polytechnic, who continues to investigate, as a Ph.D. student, if his equations Are extrapolable to other cities.
The study is led by Professor Juan Tomás García Bermejo and co-directed by Aguas de Murcia technician Pedro Daniel Martínez Solano.
The work is framed within the research for this municipal company carried out by the H @ idrom group of the Polytechnic, where Pablo Espín enjoys a research grant, and will serve to design tanks that minimize the possible contamination emitted during the rain episodes.
The student was also a Fellow of the Hydrogea-UPCT Chair.
