Impacto ambiental de la operación del Centro de faenamiento de la ciudad de Puyo, Pastaza, Ecuador

Abstract: espanolLos camales son de las instalaciones de la industria carnicas mas contaminantes. El objetivo del presente documento es analizar el impacto ambiental del centro de faenamiento municipal, de la ciudad Puyo, Amazonia Ecuatoriana. La identificacion y evaluacion de impactos se realizo con un diagrama de redes y la matriz de Leopold. Se obtuvieron 11 actividades de valoracion significativa las cuales interactuan con siete componentes del medio fisico, biotico y factor socio economico y cultural, con un total de 32 interacciones con un grado de impacto significativo para afectacion al medio. Los principales aspectos ambientales del camal municipal de la ciudad del Puyo son la descarga de aguas residuales y residuos solidos, generados por el estiercol y el sacrificio de los animales en donde se genera gran cantidad de huesos, grasa y piel, tambien se considera el gasto de energia que es significativo en todo el proceso y la presencia de vectores. El impacto de mayor importancia identificado fue la generacion de aguas residuales, asociado a las elevadas cargas organicas, por lo que es importante tomar medidas correctivas que en el plan de manejo ambiental que sean capaces de mitigar, prevenir y dar un seguimiento a los impactos negativos que se generan. EnglishThe slaughterhouse are the most polluting meat industry facilities. The objective of this document is to analyze the environmental impact of the municipal slaughterhouse, in the city of Puyo, Ecuadorian Amazonia. The identification and evaluation of impacts was carried out with a network diagram and the Leopold matrix. Eleven significant assessment activities were obtained which interact with seven components of the physical, biotic and socio-economic and cultural factors, with a total of 32 interactions with a significant degree of impact for environmental effects. The main environmental aspects of the municipal road of the city of Puyo are the discharge of wastewater and solid waste, generated by manure and the slaughter of animals where a large amount of bones, fat and skin is generated, the expense is also considered of energy that is significant throughout the process and the presence of vectors. The most important impact identified was the generation of wastewater, associated with high organic loads, so it is important to take corrective measures that in the environmental management plan that are capable of mitigating, preventing and monitoring the negative impacts they are generated

Producción más limpia y ecoeficiencia en el procesado del cacao: un caso de estudio en ecuador

Abstract: El cacao, es uno de los sectores economicos en Ecuador. El presente estudio tiene como finalidad realizar el diagnostico, proponer opciones de produccion mas limpia (PML) y evaluar indicadores de ecoeficiencia aplicables al proceso de elaboracion de pasta de cacao. Se analizaron las etapas del proceso, desde el diagnostico hasta la formulacion y evaluacion de alternativas de PML. Se propusieron opciones de mejora en el proceso relacionadas con el ahorro de electricidad, agua y gestion de residuos. El analisis de la viabilidad economica y ambiental muestra resultados favorables, la recuperacion de la inversion en mayoria de las opciones es inmediata o inferior a un ano y pueden contribuir a disminuir el consumo de electricidad, agua, y residuos solidos generados en un 13.2%, 18% y 99.7% respectivamente. Finalmente, se recomienda validar estas propuestas, y realizar investigaciones futuras sobre otras corrientes residuales de la actividad que puedan minimizar la contaminacion ambiental generada en el proceso de produccion de cacao en pasta.

Producción más limpia como estrategia ambiental preventiva en el proceso de elaboración de pasta de cacao. Un caso en la Amazonia Ecuatoriana

Abstract: Cocoa is one of the most important crops in Ecuador, destined for export to be used in making chocolate in other countries. The objective of this work was to analyze the environmental performance and the potentialities of applying cleaner production mechanisms (CP) in the Association of producers of fine aroma cocoa \"Tsatsayaku\". The CP tools used were the initial environmental review, ecomaps, and process analysis. The results show that mucilage and cocoa husk generation are the main environmental problems of the process. Two improvement options were proposed and evaluated to control and reduce process contamination. The analysis shows a B / C ratio of 1.38 and the Net Present Value is $ 36,001.37 with an Internal Rate of Return of 249.29%. Finally, the application of practices and technologies framed in CP systems can optimize the use of raw materials and reduce the solid and liquid contaminants generated.

Evaluación del impacto ambiental del cultivo de la pitahaya, Cantón Palora, Ecuador

Abstract: Pitahaya fruit (Selenicereus megalanthus) is an exotic subtropical fruit with yellow skin, sweet and sour pulp, which contains levels of essential fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acids. Its cultivation, in recent years, has become one of the main economic activities of the Morona-Santiago province. The objective of this work was to determine the environmental impact generated by the cultivation of pitahaya, and to propose management strategies that mitigate the effects on the environment. The characterization of the physical, biotic, socioeconomic and cultural environment of plantations of the Palora Canton was carried out, according to the criteria of the national environmental regulations. The methodology used were checklists, and Leopold matrix that are based on the analysis of the interactions between the stages of the crop and the environmental factors impacted. The main results in the evaluated farm show negative impacts such as the loss of biodiversity, degradation of soils, of the physical environment, mainly associated with the use of agrochemicals, the clearing of forest ecosystems, as well as the opening of access roads. The management plan shows strategies aimed at mitigating and compensating for the most severe impacts and complying with current environmental laws.
