| Description: | The development of processes for renewable aviation fuel production boosts a sustainable recovery of the aviation sector; in such processes, the application of strategies of energy efficiency can improve its economic and environmental competitiveness. In this work is presented the energy integration of a Jatropha curcas (JC) biorefinery for the production of biojet fuel, as the main product, through the pinch point methodology. The energy integration application is based on the construction of two routes, defined by the material exchanges between the integrated processes. Route 1 (R1) considers 7 and 6 hot and cold streams, respectively; whilst in route 2 (R2), 6 and 8 hot and cold streams, respectively. The results show that it is possible to save 82,41 % and 74,89 % on heating and cooling utilities for R1, whilst up 71 % and 87,28 % of savings on heating and cooling utilities for R2. These savings represent less environmental impact, regarding the biorefinery scheme without integration, due to less consumption of external utilities; thereby, the economy of the process could improve significantly. |
