“Brosimum utile” EN LA EMPRESA ECO - Universidad Tecnológica ...

SUMMARY
The company ECO MADERA VERDE S.A. in its desire of increasing its
competitiveness looks for to develop a plan that guides the construction and later
operation of a system of preservation of wood for the species more affected by the
attack of the destructive agents of the same one, this species the Sande (Brosimum utile),
belonging to the family MORACEAE, suffers a decrease of 30% of the total volume
that enters to the factory for the attack of the mentioned organisms.
When being framed in an ecological line and with the limitation of the capital, ECO
MADERA VERDE S.A., looks for the ideal combination among an efficient chemical
product that doesn't generate too much environmental impact and a good preservation
method that it is framed in the managerial economic budget.
It is as well as this investigation proposes the preservation of the wood of Sande with
the use of salt soluble in water formed by boric acid and borax, for its clean nature and
its null effects on people that have direct contact with the preservation process or with
the finished product.
It also experiences with the solution mentioned with 2 preservation methods, the
immersion in cold preservative and the bathroom in hot and cold preservative, under 2
solution concentrations in each one of them, to 3% AND 5%.
As a result of the operation pilot with the limits before described, it is determined as
method but efficient of preservation for the spice Sande, the bathroom of the pieces in
hot and cold preservative, under a concentration of 5%, because this treatment allows to
obtain a solid absorption of elements toxic average of 9,63 Kg. / m3 and a total
penetration and standardize in the impregnated pieces.
With this premise the investigation proposes the design of a system of preservation half
industrial that gives use to the infrastructure that has the company and it recommends
the installation of a tank for heating of the preservative and the construction from a pool
