Estudio de pre-factibilidad para la creación de una planta de carbón activado a base de cascara de coco en Tumaco y sus alrededores

Abstract

One of the less-valued crops in Colombia is the coconut, this is due to its location and its proximity to areas of conflict. The coco has several sub-products such as water, which is extracted from the green coconut; milk, which is extracted verging and pressing the grated coconut; the fiber, which is taken out of the Capacho of coco and, one of the sub-products with higher added value is the activated charcoal one of the less-valued crops in Colombia is the coconut, in spite of the fact that it has several sub-products such as water, which is extracted from the green coconut; the milk, which is extracted from verging and pressing the grated coconut; the fiber, which is taken out of the Capacho of coco and, one of the sub-products with higher added value is the activated carbon or CA, That is obtained by means of incineration of the coconut shell in controlled temperatures, which has led to the development of the project pre-feasibility of building a plant of Activated Carbon in the area of Tumaco and its environs, as additional objective to promote the industry in this region rich in natural resources, but, because of its remote location and poor access roads, it is not considered as the point of investment. In addition, applied the tools acquired during the master's degree to evaluate the possibility of execution of the project supported in the financial aspects and in case they are not, will raise the tools to be able to achieve optimum conditions and build the plant in CA.
