Resumen:
The WAR algorithm, a methodology for determining the potential environmental impact (PEI) of a chemical process, is applied to the biodiesel production. Two different schemes are considered: a process using a strong base as catalyst, and a process with methanol recovery. The WAR algorithm allows determining which process is better from the point of view of generation of PEI into the process based on the output wastes and energy consumption.
