Plan De Direccionamiento Estratégico, Empresa Laboratorio Diagnosticamos SAS, División Ambiental

Para la formulación del plan de desarrollo estratégico para la empresa Laboratorio DIAGNOSTICAMOS SAS, División Ambiental se tuvo en cuenta la primera etapa del proceso de Administración Estratégica planteado por David (2003); se evaluó la Misión de la empresa, y se realizaron las evaluaciones Interna y Externa, el Análisis de la información y la respectiva propuesta de mejoramiento. Para conseguir la información necesaria para la realización del trabajo se llevaron a cabo entrevistas, análisis de documentos y observación directa. La información obtenida permitió elaborar matrices de análisis de resultados para así poder encontrar variables claves para la formulación de la planeación estratégica de la empresa. Las estrategias que se plantearon procedieron del resultado de diversos análisis que se realizaron en el trabajo, y con ello se permitirá a la empresa obtener elementos clave para guiarse y servir de apoyo para la toma de decisiones que permitan la sostenibilidad y que impulsen el crecimiento del negocio.For the formulation of the strategic development plan for the company laboratory DIAGNOSTICAMOS SAS, Environmental Division, the first stage of the Strategic Administration process proposed by David (2003) was taken into account; the mission of the company was evaluated, and the Internal and External evaluations, the Analysis of the information and the respective improvement proposal were carried out. In order to obtain the necessary information to carry out the work, interviews, document analysis and direct observation were carried out. The information obtained allowed the elaboration of results analysis matrices in order to find key variables for the formulation of the strategic planning of the company. The strategies that were proposed came from the result of various analyzes that were carried out at work, and with this, the company will be allowed to obtain key elements to guide itself and serve as support for decision-making that allow sustainability and that promote the growth of the deal

Thermo-economic analysis of an oxygen production plant powered by an innovative energy recovery system

[EN] Oxy-fuel combustion is considered an attractive alternative to reduce pollutant emissions, which uses high-purity oxygen mixed instead of air for combustion processes. However, purchasing large amounts of high-purity oxygen may be unprofitable for certain industrial sectors, discouraging its implementation. Considering this, the potential of an oxygen production cycle for factories using oxy-fuel combustion is studied by performing a thermo-economic analysis where high-purity oxygen, electricity, and natural gas prices are considered. Oxygen is produced by membrane means, where mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes are used, which require high temperatures and pressure gradients to work properly. A set of turbochargers is implemented, chosen by scaling an off-the-shelf model, what introduces an innovative way of waste energy recovering for improving the performance of the cycle. The whole cycle is powered by waste heat from high temperature flue gases, and it is sized for a ceramic manufacturing factory. In this work, two cases are analysed, differentiated by considering additional heating and the vacuum generation method in the oxygen line. The first case exhibits smaller production levels, although better profitability (31¿€t¿1), whereas the second case displays higher production levels and production costs (33¿€t¿1). Both cases are competitive concerning the average price of high-purity oxygen, supposing an average of 50¿€t¿1 in wholesale markets, proving the potential of the proposed alternative for oxygen production.This research work has been supported by Grant PDC2021120821-I00 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR.
