Evaluación de los procedimientos de eficiencia energética en los procesos de producción de una planta de alimentos.

Abstract

The present degree work evaluates energy efficiency procedures, using documentation, norms and standards; based on procedures for the intervention of diagnosis, analysis and energy evaluation, it is focused on a food plant located in the province of Guayas. For research, sources are compiled mainly from books, guides, journal articles and academic theses. It is developed in two parts: the first part corresponds to the theory and fundamental concepts of food processes, service networks with the equipment used for processing, energy efficiency in industry and applied regulations; in the second part in the development the characteristics of the production processes of the food plant and the networks which is formed are shown, the energy consumption of the different systems is recorded and determined by means of calculations and measurements in the field; In addition, an analysis of the energy efficiency criteria is carried out through audits focused on the production processes, using measurement instruments and updated concepts that will contribute to the identification of opportunities for improvement that will serve to develop the evaluation of the feasibility of application and achieve a better performance in energy efficiency.
