The growing search for technologies that promote more sustainable industrial processes and strengthen economic competitiveness is evident. Thus, process intensification methods stand out. The vapor recompression strategy has revealed its potential to boost new operational perspectives for existing facilities. The present study aims to analyze three different configurations of intensification through vapor recompression, with the purpose of reducing energy demand and CO2 emissions from the industrial process of separating the Benzene-Toluene-o-Xylene mixture. The processes were modeled using the UniSim software. The results showed that this strategy provided significant savings of up to 81% and 92% in the aforementioned metrics, which is in alignment with the UN's sustainable development goals.
