This paper presents the application of mass integration methodology to a sugarcane biorefinery, using a modified flexible tolerance method (MFTM) for optimization. For environmental reasons, the targets for mass integration were water, emissions of carbon dioxide from the fermentation process, and vinasse. The MFTM presented good performance in optimization of the process configuration, with reductions of 29, 28, and 33% in the costs of fresh water supply, wastewater treatment, and vinasse fertirrigation (including the costs associated with vinasse concentration), respectively. In addition, emissions of CO2 were avoided using algae farm technology for ethanol production, resulting in benefits to the environment as well as economic advantages including carbon credits and additional ethanol production.
