Elaboración de un manual para el manejo de los residuos sólidos generados por el Camal Metropolitano de Quito en el proceso de faenamiento

Abstract

The present project consists of the preparation of a manual for the management of the solid waste generated by “Camal Metropolitano de Quito” in the slaughtering process. The research methodology was developed through the evaluation of the current situation related to the generation of solid waste through field visits and data collection of each of the slaughter processes. The main sources of contamination in the slaughter were identified and the characterization was made regarding the type, weight and volume of the waste generated in a given period. The residues were quantified in tables of record where the quantities generated with a monthly frequency are collected, and it was determined that the solid wastes of greater generation were ruminal content, manure and seizures. After several observations, it was determined that several wastes are produced during the slaughter process, however for this project environmentally adequate measures will be proposed for those that represent the largest volume and for which two alternatives are proposed for their management. In the end, a basic manual for solid waste management was prepared based on the previous evaluation carried out with technical and environmentally viable characteristics.
