Propuesta de gestión integral de desechos peligrosos generados en las centrales termoeléctricas de la Unidad de Negocios Termopichincha ubicadas en la zona Sierra

Abstract

The present project includes the development of a general diagnosis of hazardous waste management proposals for the CELEC EP Termopichincha thermoelectric power plants, located in the Sierra area, in order to give the company independence in the management of hazardous wastes, especially in the eviction of these. Identification of the regulations applicable to the management of hazardous wastes, the identification of hazardous wastes generated at each plant, the analysis and characterization of the integrated system of hazardous wastes. Two alternatives were proposed for the management of hazardous wastes. Alternative A: The company will be responsible for the four initial phases of the management system: generation, storage, collection and transportation, and will pay an environmental manager to perform the remaining two phases, treatment and final disposal. Alternative B: The company will be responsible for developing all phases of the management system, from hazardous waste generation to final disposal. Initial investment values and annual expenditures were established and based on a technical, environmental and economic feasibility study based on a risk analysis, economic and environmental impact assessment, it was determined that Alternative A was the feasible option.
