Diseño del proceso productivo de agua embotellada a partir de ósmosis inversa y análisis de factibilidad de la implementación

Abstract

The reverse osmosis is a tecnology that present a big facility to be used in multiple scenarios, one of these is in the wáter potabilization to human consum. In this work, the operation of a prototype reverse Osmosis plant for the purification of water entering to the Pontifical Javeriana Cali University aqueduct will be evaluated, Subsequently, the design of the bottled water production process will be carried out from the prototype plant of Reverse Osmosis. First, a market investigation will be carried out within the PJU to establish the characteristics that the product should have and the possible acceptance of this by potential customers. Then the activities of the production process, the machines and materials necessary to carry out each activity will be identified. Subsequently, the area necessary to carry out the production process will be calculated and PROMODEL will be used to determine the production capacity. Finally, through a Montecarlo simulation, an approximate demand for a 5-year time horizon will be estimated and with this information the project cash flow will be carried out to establish the feasibility of the implementation of the bottler through the measurement of KPI's such as the Net Present Value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR).
