Aplicación de la Economía Circular en el diseño de un incinerador de desechos patológicos : Aplicación de la Economía Circular para el Diseño de elementos mecánicos para los componentes del incinerador, cámara y chimenea de un Incinerador de Desechos Patológicos.

Abstract

The circular economy is a resource management approach that seeks to minimize waste and promote the reuse of materials to reduce environmental impact. By applying these principles to the design of mechanical elements for a pathological waste incinerator, important benefits can be obtained in terms of efficiency and sustainability. The use of recycled or recyclable materials in the design of incinerator components reduces dependence on natural resources and reduces the amount of waste generated during manufacturing, thus contributing to the conservation of resources and reducing the environmental footprint of the incinerator. Additionally, the reuse of materials and the implementation of a modular design facilitate the repair and maintenance of incinerator components, prolonging their useful life and reducing the need for frequent replacement. This not only reduces the costs associated with the acquisition of new components, but also minimizes the generation of waste and the emission of pollutants during their manufacture and disposal. Regarding the operation of the incinerator, the implementation of emission control technologies and energy recovery systems optimizes energy efficiency and reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and other atmospheric pollutants. This not only meets current environmental standards and regulations, but can also generate economic benefits by harnessing waste heat for power generation or water heating. In summary, the application of the circular economy in the design of mechanical elements for a pathological waste incinerator offers a unique opportunity to improve the efficiency, sustainability and profitability of the process, thus contributing to the construction of a more sustainable and resilient future.
