We present a mathematical model for agri-food industry residual streams flow management, which serves as a decision support tool for optimizing their valorization. The aim is to determine, under a cost-benefit analysis approach, the best strategy at a global level. The proposed mathematical model provides the optimal valorization scenario, namely t...

Context 1
... the mathematical model allows us to consider as many agri-food industries and BBIs as desired, for the sake of simplicity, we will select for the example a valorization scenario with two agri-food industries (AFI 1 and AFI 2 ) and five BBIs: two anaerobic digesters operating at mesophilic temperature (BBI 1 and BBI 2 ), two composting plants (BBI 3 and BBI 4 ), and one animal feed producer (BBI 5 ). Detailed descriptions of the treatments carried out in the anaerobic digester, the composting plant, and the animal feed producer are depicted in Figures 3-5 respectively. As it can be seen in Figure 6, the residual streams may go through different valorization routes. ...
