Application of the procedure of the ISO 50001:2011 standard for energy planning in a company ceramic sector

Abstract

The present research consists in the application of statistical tools for the monitoring of the energy efficiency of indicators in productive processes that comply with the requirements of ISO 50001:2011. This paper presents the methodology and the results in terms of forecasting (SGE) for the consumption of electric energy in the manufacture of H-10 blocks using the STATGRAPHICS Centurion XV Software. The outcomes demonstrated the stabilization of the energy efficiency associated with an increase of production without investment by purchasing new equipment. That is to say, that only with the innovation and the follow-up of the process through applied management technologies the resources of the company can beoptimized, besides the adoption of a culture of energy management in an efficient way. The energy efficiency is optimized taking into account all the variables that influence the production process, besides performing preventive maintenance of the equipment in order to stabilize and control theparameters involved in the manufacture of masonry products for construction.

Experimental study about the improvement of the mechanical properties of a concrete cobble using recyclable additives

“…or decades, the glass industry has manufactured more than 100 million containers, which entails a large amount of environmental pollution; even though it has a material with high amounts of silica, it is not biodegradable. Coronel and Sanchez 2021 [17] incorporated pulverized glass into the mortar, replacing it with cement, by making 50 mm mortar cubes and incorporating glass weights in percentages of 10, 20, and 30% to compare with the conventional mortar sample were able to conclude that the compressive strength of the mixtures used with pulverized glass is lower than the resistance of the pattern used, however, the sample with 10% replacement of cement by pulverized glass has a compressive strength activity index that considers the glass residue as a pozzolan that behaves like cement [18].…”

Implementation of an automated dryer with solar collector

“…The main drawback in the production of handmade bricks is the long drying times that vary from five to seven days depending on weather conditions, since this process takes advantage of the natural action of the sun and the wind, so that on cloudy and rainy days the drying process stops, delaying the production process [6], by not having control over the climatic conditions, the drying of the bricks is not always done in the best way, since it is not possible to expel the necessary amount of moisture from inside the brick, causing imperfections at the time of firing and many bricks cannot be sold, generating losses for these small businesses [7], taking into account that most of the time of the production process is spent in the drying stage, it is necessary to develop a system that allows the artisanal producer to reduce production times without a significant increase in costs.…”

Physical-Mechanical properties of H-10 blocks manufactured in Norte of Santander, Colombia: a case study

“…However, in Ocaña, some studies on the subject are in less scale, with the principal aim of the finding of optimal mixtures in terms of ceramic paste to develop different masonry construction products that could be produced in the region (Block H-10) according to the technological capacity of the companies [18][19][20]; García-León et al 2016 developed laboratory tests in blocks manufactured in Ocaña to determine some mechanical properties such as mechanical resistance and water absorption according to the guidelines NTC 4017 standard procedure. The results were analyzed and used to improve the extraction and selection of raw materials base clay and thus to optimize the economic resources of the company studied [21,22].…”
