Diseño de una planta procesadora de compost a partir de rumen vacuno para la empresa VAL-MAR S.C.

Abstract

The objective of the present titration work is the design of a compost processing plant from beef rumen for the company Val-Mar S.C. determining the weight of material that was worked with, and an approximate amount of 5200 Kg per week of rumen was obtained from camales of Cotopaxi province. Once the waste was received, a physical and chemical analysis was carried out to determine its treatment, which would take 3 months, where process parameters were controlled, such as the temperature of the compost piles, , the amount of oxygen present, optimum humidity, the potential of hydrogen at each stage of composting, the carbon-nitrogen 11.04 ratio with which according to the NCh 2880 standard of the National Institute of Normalization NIN of Chile is considered to our compost as High Quality product and can be used directly on the ground and according to the PAS Standard of the British Standard Institution is considered a soil improver because it has a carbon-nitrogen ratio of less than 20. The company Val-Mar S.C is recommended to implement this project in order to obtain new sources of income and also to help reduce the waste generated by the meat industry.
