In this work the performance of a bioethanol from sugarcane plant simulated on AspenHysys® is evaluated using an automated tool programmed on Matlab® to assess the environmental and economic impacts associated. We compare the current COCAFE operation with the use of indirect heating, analyzing vinasse discharge using trucks, and the effect of the vinasse application in the soil. Results show that the replacement of direct steam injection by reboiler decreases significantly the quantity of vinasse (near 15%), consequently, minimizing the associated problems generated. Moreover, as the modifications do not change the flegma and ethanol flowrates, the revamping can be done without further operational changes. The environmental evaluation presents some positive results, showing that the COCAFE distillery may decrease the eighteen ReCiPe impacts assessed. From an economic perspective, the distillery could also have higher profits with the use of reboiler than direct steam injection.
