Resumo
Neste trabalho foi realizado um estudo sobre a viabilidade econômica de uma planta
industrial que realiza a extração com fluido supercrítico (EFS). O interesse neste tipo de
processo cresceu muito pelo grau de pureza do extrato e por não gerar resíduos. Essa técnica se
mostra promissora e se destaca com o aumento da procura por processos com selo verde que
apresentam produtos de melhor qualidade ou processos tão eficientes quanto os processos
tradicionais. Entretanto, a EFS apresenta um alto investimento, sendo imprescindível uma
análise de viabilidade econômica do processo. No presente estudo, foi avaliada a viabilidade
econômica de um processo EFS empregando água como cossolvente a partir de dados da
literatura em diferentes escalas industriais empregando o simulador de processos SuperPro
Designer®. O processo foi simulado utilizando duas opções de operação de remoção de água,
liofilização e spray dryer, em escalas industriais de 50, 100 e 300 L visando comparar qual
equipamento seria melhor na obtenção de produtos competitivos no mercado. As duas
configurações foram analisadas considerando uma planta EFS já instalada e outra a ser
construída. Os resultados mostraram que a produção por EFS do extrato de jatobá é viável em
plantas construídas empregando o spray dryer nas três escalas, obtendo um tempo de retorno
do investimento baixo.
In this work, a study was carried out on the economic viability of extraction with supercritical fluid extraction (EFS). The interest in this type of process has grown a lot due to the degree of purity of the extract and because no residues are emitted. This technique is promising and stands out with the increased demand for processes with a green seal that presents better quality products or processes as efficient as traditional processes. However, an EFS presents a high investment, and economic feasibility analysis of the process is essential. In the present study, the economic viability of an EFS process using water as a co-solvent was evaluated from literature data at different scales using the SuperPro Designer® process simulator. The process was simulated using two options of water removal, lyophilization and spray dryer, in industrial scales of 50, 100 and 300 L, to compare which equipment would be better in generating competitive products in the market. Both configurations were analyzed considering an EFS plant already installed and another to be built. The results induced that the production by EFS of Jatoba extract is viable installed plants using the spray dryer in the three scales, obtaining a low return on investment time.
