Control strategies for reactive batch distillation
A batch reactor may be combined directly with a distillation column by distilling off the light component product in order to increase the reactor temperature or to improve the product yield of an equilibrium reaction. The same amount of the light product should be removed as the amount being formed by the reaction at any time. A linearized model has been developed which describes the process b...
متن کاملEntrainer-enhanced Reactive Distillation
The paper presents the use of a Mass Separation Agent (entrainer) in reactive distillation processes. This can help to overcome limitations due to distillation boundaries, and in the same time increase the degrees of freedom in design. The catalytic esterification of fatty acids with light alcohols C2-C4 is studied as application example. Because the alcohol and water distillate in top simultan...
متن کاملReactive distillation for methyl acetate production
We describe a hierarchy of methods, models, and calculation techniques that support the design of reactive distillation columns. The models require increasingly sophisticated data needs as the hierarchy is implemented. The approach is illustrated for the production of methyl acetate because of its commercial importance, and because of the availability of adequate published data for comparison. ...
متن کاملComparative control study of ideal and methyl acetate reactive distillation
The control of an ideal reactive distillation column is compared with that of a similar, but somewhat di2erent, real chemical system, the production of methyl acetate. Similarities and di2erences are observed. Three control structures are evaluated for both systems. A control structure with one internal composition controller and one temperature controller provides e2ective control of both syst...
متن کاملTransesterification by Reactive Distillation for Synthesis and Characterization of Biodiesel
Rising world fuel prices, the growing demand for energy, and concerns about global warming are the key factors driving renewed interest in renewable energy sources and in bioenergy. Nowadays, the world energy demand has increased significantly due to the global industrialization and increase of population. As a result, the current limited reservoirs will soon be depleted at the current rate of ...
