In this study, the optimization of four processing schemes were developed for the production of 5 hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a chemical platform compound obtained from lignocellulosic biomass and used to make the connection with products from fossil resources. Despite its wide applicability, problems associated with its synthesis hindered its greater use. In this scenario the use of a computer program stands out, as the optimization of processes can be used, evaluating the factors and finding parameters that minimize the costs associated with its production. The optimization of these systems was made from the minimization of the total annual cost of the process carried out through the  Aspen Plus® v.11 software, in addition, the economic feasibility of the process was analyzed and it was possible to obtain the HMF at 1.00$ .kg-1 and the co-product levulinic acid between 1.92 and 3.08 $.kg-1. It was also possible to note that among the operating costs, those from glucose had the greatest effect on its value, whereas in relation to equipment costs, reactors and distillation columns were the ones that had the greatest influence.
