Costos de inversión y beneficios del tratamiento de aguas residuales no domesticas denominada electrofloil (®) en el establecimiento comercial Servicentro de Prisa – Ecolavado

Abstract

The objective was to carry out an analysis of the investment costs and benefits of non-domestic wastewater treatment called electrofloil (registered trademark) in the Servicentro de Prisa – Ecolavado commercial establishment. The problem: the lack of real estimated costs associated with wastewater treatment systems, in companies that have insufficient sustainability policies such as car washes and which require the aforementioned real estimated costs to adjust their processes and indicators. The methodology was developed with a mixed approach, with a type of descriptive design. To recognize the current processes in the establishment, five instruments were used, with a field visit form and semi-structured interview format, applied to workers and managers. The results: regarding investment costs, the total is $66,741,000=. and in terms of benefits, the company avoids paying fines, improves the brand, reputation and image, avoids costs for not discharging water with detergents and oil residues, energy savings if an energy generation with photovoltaic cells for own consumption. It is concluded that the implementation of the electrofloil system in Prisa's Servicentro establishment generates environmental, economic and social benefits that offset the investment costs in the medium term.
