dc.descriptionThe African palm is the main source of vegetable oil worldwide, representing about 29.60% of the total oil and fat production around the world. The rapid expansion of this sector has faced several concerns related to environmentaland social aspects that have driven the search for sustainable alternatives. In this work, the inherent safety analysis and sustainability evaluation for the crude palm oil production process was performed using the inherent safety index (ISI) method and the sustainable weighted return on investment metric (SWROIM), respectively. The process was designed for a processing capacity of 30 t/h of palm bunches and under North-Colombian conditions. Three technical indicators were considered to evaluate the process sustainability including exergy efficiency, potential environmental impacts output (PEI output), and the total inherent safety index (ITI). The economic factor is directly considered since the SWROIM is an extension of the conventional return on investment (ROI). The resulting ITI at 11 indicated an inherently safe process, and the highest risk was observed for the process equipment safety subindex. The SWROIM reached a higher value (53%)compared to the conventional ROI (49.39%), which suggests positive impacts on sustainability. The novelty of this work lies in detecting the inherent risks and providing a decision making criteria for this project through a complete evaluation that relates economic, energy, environmental, and safety criteria.en-US
dc.descriptionLa palma africana es la principal fuente de aceite vegetal del mundo, ya que representa alrededor del 29,60 % de la producción global de aceites y grasas. La rápida expansión de este sector ha provocado varias preocupaciones relacionadas con aspectos ambientales y sociales que han impulsado la búsqueda de alternativas sostenibles. En este trabajo se realizó un análisis de seguridad inherente y se evaluó la sostenibilidad del proceso de producción de aceite de palma crudo utilizando el método del índice de seguridad inherente (ISI) y la métrica de rendimiento ponderado sostenible de la inversión (SWROIM por sus siglas en inglés), respectivamente. El proceso fue diseñado para una capacidad de procesamiento de 30 t/h de racimos de fruto de palma y bajo las condiciones del norte de Colombia. Se consideraron tres indicadores técnicos para evaluar la sostenibilidad del proceso, incluyendo la eficiencia exergética, el potencial de impacto ambiental (productos del PEI, por sus siglas en inglés) y el índice de seguridad inherente total (ITI). El factor económico se considera directamente, ya que el SWROIM es una extensión del retorno de la inversión (ROI) convencional. El ITI de 11 resultante indicó un proceso intrínsecamente seguro, y se observó el mayor riesgo para el subíndice de seguridad de equipos del proceso. El SWROIM alcanzó un valor más alto (53 %) en comparación con el ROI convencional (43,99 %), lo que sugiere impactos positivos en la sostenibilidad. La novedad de este trabajo radica en detectar los riesgos inherentes y proporcionar un criterio de toma de decisiones para este proyecto, a través de una evaluación completa que relacione los criterios económicos, energéticos, ambientales y de seguridad. es-ES
