Resumen
BACKGROUND: In the past, process safety has improved safety issues in chemical plants, today, it is essential to consider safety aspects in any process plant. Furthermore, the production of value-added products through biotechnological methods has increased, and safety is usually not considered in this kind of process design. The biotechnological production of 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) has been studied at a laboratory scale. However, before considering industrial-scale production, it is necessary to design an efficient and safe purification process to maintain the quality characteristics of 2-PE. This work proposes a separation process for natural 2-PE (which was obtained from whey fermentation) and evaluates its safety and economic aspects. RESULTS: This process is based on liquid-liquid extraction. The feed stream consists of an aqueous mixture with 0.095 wt% of 2-PE and 1.54 wt% of ethanol. The conceptual design was implemented in the simulator Aspen Plus V.10. The bioprocess safety index (BPSI) was used to find the hazardous process streams for the safety evaluation. CONCLUSION: The 2-PE separation showed an overall recovery of 99.54% and a purity of 99.67 wt% in the product stream. The process streams identified as hazardous are the extract and solvent recycling streams. The utility and operating cost per separated kilogram of 2-PE are USD 0.658 kg(-1) and USD 14.48 kg(-1), respectively. The industrial-scale implementation of 2-PE bioproduction shows positive potential. (c) 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).
