Beskrivelse
Summary:Exibal CIA. LTDA. faces significant challenges related to rising energy costs and its reliance on conventional energy sources, both of which affect its competitiveness and sustainability. This study addresses this problem by designing a biodigester as a self-sufficient energy production solution. The quantitative and applied research focused on evaluating the plant's available alternative energy sources and determining its energy requirements. The methodology included identifying and quantifying the available organic matter (pig manure) at the company, analyzing thermal demand, and comparing different energy technologies using a weighting matrix. The results demonstrated that biomass is the most viable source, obtaining the highest score compared to LPG, solar energy, and wind power. The energy requirements for the plant's kitchen area are approximately 800 kWh/month. The trapezoidal biodigester design, combined with the geomembrane, fully supplies these areas with a 42% surplus. The study concludes that implementing a biodigester is a technically and environmentally sound alternative for diversifying the plant's energy mix and improving organic waste management.
