Propuesta de plan de eficiencia energética para la fábrica de “Bocadillos el Príncipe” para el proceso de producción de bocadillo

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to provide an energy efficiency alternative in its production process for the "Bocadillos el Príncipe" factory located in Los Patios-Norte de Santander. First, an energy diagnosis of the factory was made from the factory to identify opportunities for improvement and to know their current status each month and the most relevant environmental aspects that were found. Once the diagnosis was made, it was proceeded as the first alternative to propose the implementation of Good Operating Practices (GOP) that could help reduce up to 12,22% of the energy not associated with production, and secondly, the general feasibility analysis is carried out for the implementation of a cogeneration system, in this case a steam microturbine, which if feasible, serves the factory to generate its own energy and reduce the costs of consuming electricity from the national grid. Finally, the tax benefits of its implementation are presented and its found that the projections show a return on investment of less than one year.
