The software of the catalytic distillation process of methyl tertiary butyl ether was developed by using Process Simulation System Platform. The isobutylene conversion rate was calculated by using the catalytic distillation software. The relative error of isobutylene conversion rate between the simulation results and the design data from the China Petroleum Hohhot Petrochemical Co. was less than 5%. The relative error satisfies industrial design requirements. At present, enterprise workers use this software to learn how to operate the catalytic distillation process. The catalytic distillation software is further used to study the influence of reaction temperature and reflux ratio on the isobutylene conversion rate which can be used for future empirical model development and control studies.
