![]() ![]() Therefore, this LCA study may be applied to perform a sustainable improvement on sorbitol production process. Performing heat integration in sorbitol processing is highly recommended for gate-togate system to reduce energy demand, thus decreasing the environmental impacts. The use of glucose were responsible for more than 50% of total environmental Glucose and electricity consumption were known as two major contributors to GWP, and hydrogen reactor was the main consumer of electricity. A gate-to-gate LCA study of sorbitol production showed that global warming potential (GWP) had the largest impact to environment with the value of 3.551 kg CO2 eq/kg sorbitol. ![]() Potency of global warming, acidification, eutrophication, photochemical oxidants creation, abiotic depletion, and ozone layer depletion were evaluated. For each operation within a unit procedure the simulator performs material/energy balances. SuperPro Designer software was employed to perform the process simulation, while SimaPro was used to quantify the LCA. Pilot plant is simulated with SuperPro Designer. A life cycle assessment (LCA) has been performed on sorbitol production from glucose, which aims to quantify and evaluate the environmental impacts that produced from the process. SuperPro Designer® is a process simulator software used for analyzing the techno-economic feasibility of large-scale bioprocesses. ![]()
