CONSIDERATION OF USEFUL LIFE OF EQUIPMENT FOR REVAMPING IN THE SUGAR INDUSTRY

Abstract

Given the current conditions of Latin American Economy, scientific results have shown a marked interest not only to find out variation effects on raw material, but also to find out technologic-energetic-economic efficiency of
the processes. They have also tried to asses alternatives so as to intensify and revamp industrial plants. These plants will be supposed to match the requirements and current availabilities of raw material and energy carriers. The work proposes a strategy for revamp in processes industry before the incorporation of new energy and environmentally efficient productions, as study case the bio-fuel production. For the evaluation of the technical state of the equipment is considered the useful life analysis of the equipment and the moral depreciation of the same ones, as well as the integration of the processes, what will allow perfecting the studies of use of the capacities installed in the industry.
