Crea un temaThe Amazon Buriti oil have appeal for nutritional and pharmaceutical properties with national and international market. However, the production suffers losses of oil extraction yield and generates waste, mainly Buriti bagasse from the oil extraction. According to green economy concept, the added value from reduction of primary source losses and production chain improvement decreases the negative environmental effects of such chain. Therefore, this work was aimed at evaluating the added value of technological modifications of a buriti oil processing plant from Apui, AM, Brazil considering the green economy bases. The production yield and biomass data were obtained by plant personnel inquiring. The added value of two different scenarios were evaluated: 1 - Business As Usual (BAU), i.e. the current model, and a 2- Value Added Scenario (VAS), including the use of Buriti bagasse for oil production. For VAS, data for oil content of Buriti bagasse were measured by an Ankon Equipment and processing data were collected from experimental values found in literature for Babassu. Scenarios were compared for oil yield and added value. According to results, the BAU scenario was able to produce 102.8 l oil/ton of Buriti, 0,9 ton of wasted bagasse/ton of Buriti, with a revenue of $100 l/ oil (Brazil currency). Considering the bagasse oil content of 0.77 kg oil/kg, and an additional extraction processes that could add 57.16 % - 75.11% of oil extraction (data for Babassu, mean value of 66%), the added value in VAS was calculated at 48.9 % of surplus. Despite implementation cost were not considered, the high surplus value showed that Buriti oil extraction yield could be significantly improved by using the bagasse production waste.
