Estudo da Viabilidade de Implantação de Reaproveitamento dos Resíduos do Frigorífico Frigopeixe em Tefé-AM

Abstract

The large amount of organic solid waste from the fishing industry is a serious socio-environmental problem. The treatment of organic solid wastes, such as the residues of fish slaughterhouses, has a great reutilization potential, being able to generate by-products that attend both environmental and economic aspects. This study aims to propose ways to treat the fish processing residues from Frigopeixe Frigorifico, aiming to provide a sustainable destination for that material in order to achieve the goal of decreasing to zero the disposal of those residues in the sanitary landfill of the city of Tefé, without burdening the company. Three techniques of reuse of fish waste were studied: composting, silage, and fish meal. The production of fish meal proved to be very expensive in its installation and maintenance, becoming, initially, not feasible. The other two techniques have a more adequate profile with the production and investment dimensions of the company, being able to be made a joint deployment, being a technique complementary to the other in the reuse of waste, composting and silage.
