Estudio de la eficiencia energética y determinación de consumo en la Industria Manufacturera Cementera UCEM.

Abstract

In this curricular integration work, the problem of excessive energy consumption in the cement industry is addressed, highlighting the lack of planning and modernization of equipment as the main causes. At the national level, companies do not prioritize energy consumption, generating disagreements and environmental problems. The study focuses on the UCEM manufacturing, especially in the cement grinding stage, identifying the need to reduce energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. The research objectives include determining energy losses, analyzing machinery consumption and proposing improvements in energy efficiency. The hypothesis states that the transformation towards renewable resources in cement grinding will improve energy efficiency. The methodology adopted is mixed, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to measure key parameters and obtain information on cement quality and its relationship with energy consumption.
