AB  - A techno-economic analysis for use of brewer's spent grains (BSG) on a 
      biorefinery concept for the Brazilian case is presented. Four scenarios based on 
      different levels of heat and mass integration for the production of xylitol, 
      lactic acid, activated carbon and phenolic acids are shown. A simulation 
      procedure using the software Aspen Plus and experimental yields was used. Such 
      procedure served as basis for the techno-economic and environmental assessment 
      according to the Brazilian conditions. Full mass integration on water and full 
      energy integration was the configuration with the best economic and environmental 
      performance. For this case, the obtained economic margin was 62.25%, the 
      potential environmental impact was 0.012 PEI/kg products, and the carbon 
      footprint of the processing stage represented 0.96 kg CO2-e/kg of BSG. This 
      result served as basis to draw recommendations on the technological, economic and 
      environmental feasibility for implementation of such type of biorefinery in 
      Brazil.
