- Techno-economic evaluation and conceptual design of a liquid biofertilizer plant Amaury Pérez Sánchez Sonali Singh Eddy Javier Pérez Sánchez Rutdali María Segura Silva Biología Economics Simulation Biofertilizer Conceptual design Biofertilizers have become an effective, eco-friendly and low cost alternative to chemical fertilizers. Process engineering and cost models for a biofertilizer plant with a production capacity of 44 tons of liquid biofertilizer per year (568 kg/batch) were developed. The models were obtained using process simulator (SuperPro Designer®), version 8.5 (Intelligen, 2012), while the 3D conceptual design and layout of the biofertilizer plant was developed with (OptiPlant®) software (ASD Global, 201 5). The total capital investment required to erect the plant is $ 3 975 000, the unit production cost of one 1.5 L bottle of liquid biofertilizer is $ 24.009, while the economic indicators Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) had values of $ 716 000 and 2.55%, respectively. Also, the total revenues are $ 985 000/year, the Return on Investment (ROI) is 14.93 %, and the payback time is 6.70 years. 2018 artículo científico 0123-3475 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=77658704002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/776/77658704002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/776/77658704002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/776/77658704002/77658704002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/776/77658704002/movil 10.15446/rev.colomb.biote.v20n2.77053 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=776 Revista Colombiana de Biotecnología application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista Colombiana de Biotecnología (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.XX
