VALORIZACIÓN DE RESIDUOS AGROINDUSTRIALES - FRUTAS - EN MEDELLÍN Y EL SUR DEL VALLE DEL ABURRÁ, COLOMBIA AGROINDUSTRIAL WASTE VALORIZATION - FRUITS - IN MEDELLÍN AND THE SOUTH OF VALLE DE ABURRÁ, COLOMBIA

Abstract

Los residuos industriales siguen convirtiéndose en un gran problema no sólo ambiental sino económico, ya que las mismas empresas tienen que asumir altos costos de disposición de éstos. Tal es el caso de la gran cantidad de residuos de frutas que se producen en la ciudad de Medellín y sus alrededores, debido al número extenso de empresas de este sector agroindustrial. En el presente trabajo se realizó un sondeo en Medellín y el Sur del Valle del Aburrá para conocer la problemática actual de estos residuos. Posteriormente se realizó una caracterización físico-química a los residuos más representativos que permitiera proponer diferentes alternativas de aprovechamiento. Los principales residuos de las empresas encuestadas provienen de naranja, guayaba, guanábana y mango. Los principales procesos de valorización incluyen el compostaje, la lombricultura y la obtención de productos químicos. Sólo con las empresas encuestadas podrían montarse plantas de valorización de residuos con capacidad de procesamiento de 9 a 375 ton/mes, dependiendo del proceso. Si se utilizaran todos los residuos generados en Medellín y el Sur del Valle del Aburrá, la capacidad de estas plantas de valorización podrían multiplicarse por 20.Industrial residues continuing being and economic problem so companies have to assume high costs to manage them. Such is the case of large amounts of fruit residues produced in Medellín, city and surroundings due to a great number of companies of this agroindustrial sector. In this work a scan was made in Medellín and the South of Valle de Aburrá to know the current problem of these residues. Subsequently a physical-chemistry characterization of the most representative residues with the purpose to propose different alternative uses. The main residues of the interviewed companies come from orange, guava, guanabana and mango. The main valorization processes include compost, worms culture and obtaining chemical products. Only with the interviewed companies, plants of waste valorization could be mounted with prosecution capacity from 9 to 375 ton/month depending on process. If all of the residues generated in Medellín and the South of the Valle de Aburrá were used, the capacity of these valorization plants could multiply for 20.
