The present work developed a thermodynamic and emissions analysis in an industrial plant for ferment drying. This analysis was made through the energy optimization of a plant of steam generation with the objective of contributing to the decrease of emissions of gases through the reduction of the use of fossil fuel,the BPF oil. The reduction of emissions seeks the decrease of the atmospheric pollution with respect to the emission of gases that contribute to the increase of the greenhouse effect. It was included the energy and exergetic analysis of the steam generation plant and the verification of the performance of the plant by a thermodynamic model, in permanent regime, through the first and second laws of thermodynamics. In this analysis, it is verified the equipment of the plant where occurs the largest thermal losses and the largest irreversibility. It is also indicated which measures should be taken to improve the performance of the plant and for reducing the consumption of fuel, which will lead to a reduction in the emission of atmospheric pollutants.
