Utilization of the energy potential of waste meal and creating of “green” workplaces

Abstract

The issue of finding a suitable eco-technological approach for the utilization of waste meals generated in the production of vegetable oil is extremely relevant in terms of achieving a high “non-waste” degree in modern oil production. In practice, the direction related to the application of the meal as a material resource in animal husbandry is widely known – mainly for feeding of farm animals. At the same time, there are alternative areas related to other economic sectors, such as composting, biodiesel production, heat treatment and others, whose economic efficiency is still not sufficiently substantiated. Along with the topic of waste recovery, the measures for prevention of workers and ensuring safe and healthy working conditions are considered. The creation of “green” jobs, which directly or indirectly contribute significantly to the protection and restoration of the environment and to the reduction of the consumption of energy and raw materials, is extremely relevant in this direction.
