Diseño de un proceso industrial usando la papa Cecilia (Solanum Tuberosum) como materia prima mediante vía seca para la obtención de vodka en la empresa primicia de la ciudad de Riobamba

Abstract

The main objective of this work was the design of an industrial process for the production of vodka, starting by obtaining the starch and characterizing it under the NTE INEN 1456:1986 standard. Based on bibliography, the necessary design variables were defined to proceed to obtain the product. Once the vodka was obtained, the product was analyzed according to INEN 369 standards with a sample of 250 ml of vodka at the Multianalítyca S.A. laboratory, obtaining the following results: 40 ° GL, 0.20 mg/100 cm3 of methanol, <0.01 mg/100 cm3 of furfural and 0.7 mg/100 cm3 of higher alcohols. The necessary equipment was designed based on the requirements of the company for a production of 2 batches of 180 liters, these are: a tank with paddle agitator for the malt/water mixture with a capacity of 0.11385 m3 , a tank for the starch/water mixture with a capacity of 0.11385 m3 and a second one for the hydrolysis of the mixture with a capacity of 0.2277 m3 ; two filters for the mixture after hydrolysis and fermentation, jacketed kettle with agitator with a capacity of 0.2277 m3;a storage tank with a capacity of 0.2415 m3; distillation equipment with:96% maximum alcohol concentration and as components it has the distillation tower, pot and condenser. The economic validation was carried out with a production cost ($5.99), PVP ($6.88), fixed investment 50,505.00, annual income ($128,898.332), NPV (25,301.97), IRR (96%) and a payback period of 11 months. Therefore, the implementation of this production line is feasible. The Company is recommended the acquisition of a distillation equipment with a higher production capacity and a minimum yield of 70%.
