Reducción de impactos ambientales, aumento de la eficiencia productiva en la empresa FOMM Cía. Ltda., y propuesta de gestión de los residuos orgánicos mediante compostaje aerobio. Optimización del proceso productivo para la obtención de hojas secas de Moringa Oleífera en base a la utilización del Manual de Minimización Económica del Impacto Ambiental (Manual MEDIA).

Abstract

The increase in industrial productivity causes considerable damage to the environment. Environmental engineering proposes to give way to the optimization of productive processes without neglecting the principles of sustainability. In this context, the present degree work proposes which proposes the optimization of the production process for obtaining Moringa Dry Leaf. For this purpose, the methodology established by Manual de Minimización Económica de Impacto Ambiental (Manual MEDIA), through its stages: Company Description and Work Team, Global Inventory, Selection of Options and and Feasibility Analysis. The diagnosis of the situation of the company is based on a characterization that includes tools such as: Interview, Mass Balance and Net Cash Flows. The company presents environmental and productive problems. Environmental problems are caused by the generation of solid, liquid and gases 84.58% of the total composition of the raw material. While, technical problems are related to the drying performance during obtaining Dry Leaf of Moringa, being this equivalent to 38.20%. Four proposals for improvement and/or alternative solutions to problems are proposed. The option for the supply of dry leaf of moringa through the contracting of an external supplier is the most technically, economically and environmentally viable proposal of each.
