Diseño y modelado de una planta para la producción de biofertilizante orgánico a partir de la hoja de mora en la zona 3

Abstract

The curricular integration work called "Design and modeling of a plant for the production of organic biofertilizer from the blackberry leaf in zone 3", has the objective of developing a proposal for the design of an industrial plant to produce a biofertilizer by using the blackberry plant residues, a product of pruning. The design was made based on production requirements such as sufficient space for machinery, the number of work stations, storage quantities of raw material, and the quantity of biofertilizer to be produced. The design also contemplates modeling through simulation software, where all the necessary parameters that adjust to the reality of production were considered, such as the flow of the production process to avoid possible errors that may occur in the actual execution of the project. It was determined that the most feasible location for the plant is in the Tungurahua province, Tisaleo canton, due to the presence of the resources involved in the production process. The plant will have a linear distribution that will allow the efficient development of the activities, and it was verified utilizing the FlexSim simulation software that the production plant can produce 24900 liters of biofertilizer (BIOL) monthly, enough to meet the monthly demand determined in the market study of 23,167 liters per month. It is recommended to carry out a study for the elaboration of compost based on the solid residues obtained from the production process.
