Disminución de costos aprovechando la energía térmica generada en producción de coque para producir ladrillos; Planta Prominercoq-Cornejo.

Abstract

The present work intends to carry out improvements of an economic nature to the plant located in Cornejo, Norte de Santander of the company Prominercoq SAS., through the design of a brick firing system that uses the calorific power emitted by the coke producing ovens. The results obtained determined a favorable viability that by implementing the heat energy emitted in the coking to manufacture the bricks in the plant, the costs of buying them are reduced by half, generating an internal rate of return of 22% and a recovery period. of the 4- month investment, also as a separate benefit to the tunnel kiln having a large production capacity, the number of bricks that would be manufactured would be greater than that required monthly, thus generating the commercialization of the brick to nearby coking plants, obtaining more profit in the company.
