This research paper seeks to evaluate the influence of the context, processing scale, and portfolio of products on the economic performance of different avocado-based biorefineries. For this, two scenarios in small and large-scale biorefineries were compared. The case of scenario 1 (avocado oil, animal feed, and electricity production) was the best small-scale alternative to be implemented in rural zones than scenario 2 (guacamole and electricity production). The minimum Processing Scale for Economic Feasibility was 0.85 and 1.1 ton/day for scenarios 1 and 2. Compared to lactic acid and xylitol production, the large-scale process addressed to produce levulinic acid, furfural, and lignin (scenario 1) was the best option (scenario 2). In scenario 1, the minimum Processing Scale for Economic Feasibility was 15.50 ton/day compared with scenario 2 of 41.95 ton/day. Based on these values, scenario 1 has the highest feasibility of being implemented in countries such as Colombia.
本研究论文旨在评估背景、加工规模和产品组合对不同牛油果基生物精炼厂经济绩效的影响。为此，比较了小型和大型生物精炼厂的两种情景。情景1（牛油果油、动物饲料和电力生产）的情况比情景2（鳄梨酱和电力生产）更适合在农村地区实施，是最佳的小规模替代方案。情景1和情景2经济可行性的最小加工规模分别为0.85吨/天和1.1吨/天。与乳酸和木糖醇生产相比，大规模生产乙酰丙酸、糠醛和木质素的工艺（情景1）是最佳选择（情景2）。在情景1中，经济可行性的最小加工规模为15.50吨/天，而情景2为41.95吨/天。基于这些数值，情景1在哥伦比亚等国家实施的可行性最高。
