Estudio de prefactibilidad técnica, ambiental y económica para el aprovechamiento de tintas contaminadas provenientes de la industria litográfica en la empresa de recolección, transporte y almacenamiento de residuos peligrosos Planeta Verde S.A.S

Abstract

This paper focused on the study of the technical, environmental and economic pre-feasibility to take advantage of the contaminated lithographic inks which are delivered for their handling to the company for the collection, transport and storage of hazardous waste Planeta Verde SAS, proposing this as an alternative of use. so that contaminated lithographic inks are not disposed of in a security cell, but are exploited and used by the management company as raw material for the manufacture of solvent-based heavy traffic paints.

For the execution of the project, four phases were developed that included the technical study and diagnosis, environmental analysis, review of the applicable regulations with the process of modification of the current environmental license and financial study; having as a result that the implementation of the exploitation of contaminated lithographic inks for the manufacture of solvent-based paints for heavy traffic in the company Planeta Verde SAS is viable, since this would generate high profits for the company according to the data obtained in the financial report. study, there is a benefit at an interest rate of 32.2%, with a profit growth for the first year compared to the initial year of 10.6% and 5.6% for the following years. Also in the study Technical shows that the implementation of the exploitation of lithographic inks is in line with the active activities carried out by the company since the stages of waste collection, transport and storage would be shared, where the license for the storage of waste is already in place contaminated inks and vehicles suitable for collection; having as a result that the project only requires the implementation of the separation, mixing and packaging stages.

Finally, at an environmental level, the waste of lithographic inks would be reduced, where only 14.63% of the total currently available would be available, however, the implementation and execution of the project depends entirely on the approval or modification of the environmental license.
