    abstract = {The environmental assessment of a process allows detection of improvement areas from
environmental point of view, serving as a tool for making decision and quantification of environmental benefits
for a raw material transformation into a final product. This research presents an environmental assessment of
a crude palm and crude palm kernel oil production process located in the North-Colombian Region using the
software WAR GUI based on the Waste Reduction Algorithm (WAR) to evaluate 8 impact categories classified
into two major groups: Local Toxicological Impacts on Humans (HTPI, HTPE) and Ecological (ATP and TTP)
and Global (GWP and ODP) and Regional (AP and PCOP) atmospheric impacts. Results shows that in general
terms, the process is environmentally friendly which is reflected in negative values obtained for the PEI
generated due to products obtained are used for human consumption after refinement. In addition, atmospheric
impact categories are not affected due to waste gases emitted from the process are mostly steam from
sub-processes such as drying. Finally, if energy improvements are implemented by using the heat of gases
emitted into the atmosphere, these values may decrease.}
