Diseño de un plan de administración ambiental para el centro de acopio y enfriamiento de leche en Hualcanga San José

Abstract

The present investigation proposes the design of an environmental management plan for the milk collection and cooling center in Hualcanga San José, located in the province of Tungurahua. Treatments and repetitions were not taken account of, as it was a diagnostic study, only, the environment information of the collection center and the residual water collected every 15 days to send it to the laboratory. Resulting in the collection center is a company that works with elementary environmental control standards. In general, the industrial processes of milk collection and cooling applied correctly, however, the conduction and evacuation of wastewater reached 85% of no conformities since they did not conduct or deposited correctly. The problem found is that there are no signs that minimize the risks of accidents at work; contamination by the generation of bad odors towards the surrounding environment. The analysis of the wastewater indicated that the total solids (229,5mg/L; 902,5mg/L), COD (8,15mg/L to 1071,25mg), DBO (3,9mg/L to 685,2500mg/L), solid in suspensions (1,48mg/L to 239 mg/L), and total coliform content (10 CFU / g to 19750000), to the output, the limits of quality exceeded, and they issued by the TULDAS. Concluding that the final grade, of the Leopold matrices found in a range of 4 to 6; that is, an average intensity, therefore, the procedure must improve with the application of the proposed environmental management plan, in compliance with current regulations.
