Real Process

The development of mathematics model especially non-square open-loop dynamic model has grown rapidly since four decades. Because of the need of simplicity and accuracy, industrial world is demanding a dynamic mathematical model as simple as possible but it still can represent the whole real process. Therefore, to meet those needs, an open-loop dynamic model of methyl acetate production process by using reactive distillation column has been built. Feed ratio, reflux ratio and reboiler duty were chosen to be the manipulated variables to make a better performance rather than only reflux flowrate and reboiler duty. Methyl acetate fraction in distillate and water fraction in bottom were still be selected as controlled variables, so a non-square open-loop dynamic model was formed.

Complex Technology

As a combination of divided wall column (DWC) and reactive-distillation column, the reactive divided wall distillation column is a highly complex technology that reaction and separation can occur simultaneously, which can reduce the energy consumption and decrease the costs of captial and operation. This new process was simulated with PROⅡ software and mini plant experiments were implemented. In addition, we investigated the influences of reflux ratio, liquid distribution ratio and molar ratio of ester in water on the conversion rate of methyl acetate and the purity of the product respectively. It could be seen that the trend from experiments was suitable with simulation results.
