Propuesta de un Plan de Contingencia para Derrame de Hidrocarburos en una Empresa de la ciudad de Guayaquil

Abstract

For the development of this work, visits were made to the agricultural company under study in the Guayaquil canton. The company has a mechanical workshop, equipment and vehicles that require and use hydrocarbon-type resources for the proper execution of functions. In this context, the study problem lies in the lack of a strategic and structured approach summarized in a contingency plan to deal with the spill of these hydrocarbons by the company, so the general objective was to develop a Contingency plan, through standards and strategies that allow a convenient response to unwanted hydrocarbon spills that may occur in the activities carried out by the company. The methodology applied for its design was made up of 3 phases, the first being the diagnosis of the processes that were executed and that involved the use of hydrocarbons in the company, phase two consisted of the evaluation of threats and vulnerabilities to the spill of the organic compound, while the final phase corresponded to the development of the strategic and operational plans that make up the proposed contingency plan. During the development of the proposal after the diagnosis of the company's operations and hydrocarbon management, the evaluation of threats and vulnerabilities showed that a total of ten risk scenarios have been identified that have been categorized with a "medium" level. of danger, based on this result, the strategies and operations that make up part of the contingency plan for hydrocarbon spills in the company are designed.
