PS indeed allows for analysis of a process with the help of mathematical models, and its ability to calculate rapidly and at little cost the mass and energy balances of processes can be exploited in the EEA of dairy processes. This paper presents the prototype of a workable tool developed to carry-out EEA of dairy processes. A process modelling and simulation software dedicated to dairy processing was developed to perform inventories of material and energy flows (IMEF) on the processes modelled by the software user. Addition of impact analysis data sets allowed for quantification of the potential environmental impacts associated with the modelled processes. Inputting economic data then made it possible to calculate the economic value associated with the modelled processes. Gathering these methods within a single numerical tool enabled EEA of any process modelled by the software user, but also identification of the hot spots and the opportunities for eco-efficiency improvements, comparisons of several scenarios of raw milk valuation, and assessment of their economic viability. In order to present the operational aspect of the developed prototype, it was used to compare the EE of fluid milk processing in Canada (Quebec) and the United-States of America. Individual eco-efficiency indicators (EEI) results showed that the potential environmental impacts were higher for the American scenario in three damage categories out of four. Economic viability results showed a slight advantage for the American scenario. Considering all the EEI, the comparative EEA did not offer evidence of a general benefit of one scenario over the other. 000015251 540__ $$aincorrect 000015251 592__ $$aHEI-VS 000015251 592__ $$bInstitut Énergie et environnement 000015251 592__ $$cIngénierie et Architecture 000015251 6531_ $$9eng$$aeco-efficiency 000015251 6531_ $$9eng$$adairy processing 000015251 6531_ $$9eng$$aprocess simulation 000015251 6531_ $$9eng$$alife-cycle assessment 000015251 6531_ $$9eng$$anumerical tool 000015251 655__ $$ascientifique 000015251 700__ $$aBenoit, S.$$uUniversité Laval, Québec, QC, Canada 000015251 700__ $$aMargni, Manuele$$uCIRAIG, Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada 000015251 700__ $$aBouchard, C.$$uUniversité Laval, Québec, QC, Canada 000015251 700__ $$aPouliot, Y.$$uUniversité Laval, Québec, QC, Canada 000015251 773__ $$tJournal of Cleaner Production$$j2019, 236$$q117658 000015251 8564_ $$uhttps://arodes.hes-so.ch/record/15251/files/Margni_2019_workable_tool_assessing_eco_efficiency_dairy_processing_using_process_simulation.pdf$$yPublished version$$925bfaf9b-f026-4158-94c3-d230c9838503$$s3145374 000015251 906__ $$aNONE 000015251 909CO $$ooai:hesso.tind.io:15251$$pGLOBAL_SET 000015251 950__ $$aaucun 000015251 980__ $$ascientifique 000015251 981__ $$ascientifique
