Abstract

El nivel de consumo energético para la producción de artículos plásticos es una variable que en los últimos anos ha cobrado gran importancia, ya que tiene no solo un impacto ambiental en su uso racional sino que tiene un costo representativo para la producción. El artículo contiene una breve justificación de la relevancia de cuantificar el consumo de energía requerido para la producción de piezas plásticas, como también la forma de medirlo en variables tales como consumos fijos y variables, así como determinar el consumo de energía específico por planta de procesamiento, proceso y por equipos. Posteriormente, se hace un recuento de diferentes estudios de consumo y uso eficiente de la energía más relevantes en la industria del plástico, a nivel regional, nacional e internacional. El presente artículo es logrado con el objetivo de proveer un material de referencia básico a investigadores interesados en este tema. ****** The level of energy consumption for the production of plastics is a variable that in recent years has gained great importance due to its environmental impact on energy rational use, and its representative cost for production. This paper contains a brief explanation of the importance of quantifying the energy consumption required for the production of plastic parts, as well as how to measure variables such as consumption fixed and variable, and determine the specific energy consumption for processing plants, for processes and equipment. Subsequently, it describes several studies about energy consumption rates relevant to the plastics industry in Colombia and different countries that count large polymer processing plants. This paper is made in order to provide a basic reference material to researchers interested in this topic.
