Resumen
Simulations of autonomous and annexed sugarcane distilleries were carried out with Aspen Plus®. Annexed plants with different proportions of sugarcane destined for bioethanol and sugar were considered in the technical-economic analysis. This study highlighted the relationship between plant flexibility and market oscillations. It was observed that annexed plants that diverted more sugarcane for sugar production were more profitable, considering the average prices for the last 10 y in Brazil. However, autonomous distillery presented the best economic results (internal rate of return and production costs) among the evaluated scenarios. Copyright © 2011, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l. 25
