Abstract
El proyecto de investigación se basó en evaluar dos alternativas de motores generadores de energía eléctrica a base de biogás metano para ampliar la capacidad instalada de la planta Biogás Eecopalsa. Buscando aprovechar la generación total de biogás, que en los últimos años mantiene una producción constante respecto a las toneladas de fruta procesada por la planta extractora. Ambas alternativas se sometieron a estudios técnicos y financieros para evaluar la factibilidad de estas, desde el punto de vista técnico, ambas resultaron factibles dada la capacidad de producción de biogás, por la parte financiera también ambas resultaron ser factibles ya que sus tasas internas de retorno y valor presente neto cumplen con los criterios de aceptación. Las recomendaciones están basadas en los resultados encontrados luego de las valorizaciones financieras, donde acorde a la disponibilidad de capital de inversión, la empresa puede optar por la de mejor rendimiento pero que necesita una menor inversión relativa a la otra alternativa.
This research project was based on evaluating two alternative biogas-methane-powered electric generator engines to expand the installed capacity of the Biogás Eecopalsa plant. The objective was to take advantage of the total biogas generation, which in recent years has maintained a constant production level in relation to the tons of fruit processed by the extraction plant. Both alternatives were subjected to technical and financial studies to assess their feasibility. From a technical standpoint, both proved feasible given the biogas production capacity. From a financial perspective, they were also feasible, as their internal rates of return and net present values meet the acceptance criteria. The recommendations are based on the results obtained after the financial evaluations, where—according to the availability of investment capital—the company may choose the option with the best performance that also requires a lower relative investment compared to the other alternative.
