An integrated facility for the processing of oranges is designed. The process begins with juice production. From the peel, two pretreatments are considered for the production of limonene, steam explosion and solvent extraction. Next, the waste is digested to produce utilities and fertilizers. The flue gas from the gas turbine can either be used to produce electricity in a regenerative Rankine cycle or as a utility for the process. A process systems approach is used to analyze alternative technologies and estimate the economics. The use of steam explosion requires 50% lower production costs but 30% higher investment to treat the waste. The use of hexane consumes 4 times more thermal energy, but the processing of the waste requires less digesters. Combined cycles are less profitable. The lower production cost of the steam explosion allows for smaller facilities to become profitable before the ones using hexane limonene recovery.

集成的多产品设施，用于从橘子生产化学药品，食品和公用事业

设计了一个用于加工橙子的综合设施。该过程从果汁生产开始。从果皮中，考虑了两种预处理方法用于柠檬烯的生产，蒸汽爆破和溶剂萃取。接下来，将废物消化以生产公用事业和肥料。来自燃气轮机的烟气既可以用于再生兰金循环中发电，也可以用作该工艺的实用程序。使用过程系统方法来分析替代技术并估算经济性。蒸汽爆炸的使用需要降低50％的生产成本，但需要30％的投资来处理废物。使用己烷消耗的热能多4倍，但处理废物所需的蒸煮器更少。联合循环的利润较低。
