Design and Control of Acrylic Acid Production Process
Abstract: This paper presents the design and control of acrylic acid production process using Aspen Plus and Aspen Dynamics. Propylene reacts with oxygen and produces acrylic acid and water. Plant-wide operability and control of the entire acrylic acid production plant with controllers is explained. The results indicate that the proposed process gives good dynamic performance (a settling time of less than 3 h).

Design and Control of Acetaldehyde Production Process
Abstract: This paper discusses the steady state and dynamic simulations of acetaldehyde production process by using Aspen Plus and Aspen Dynamics. The model developed in the present study is the modification of the process developed by Eastman Chemical Company of U.S. Patent 6,121,498. The proposed design consists of a FEHE (feed effluent heat exchanger), reactor, absorption column, compressors and two distillation columns. Acetic acid reacts with hydrogen and gives acetaldehyde as …

Design and Control of Ethyl Acetate Production Process
Abstract: In this study, the design and control of ethyl acetate production plant has been investigated. The proposed design consists of a continuous-stirred tank reactor and two distillation columns. Ethanol reacts with acetic acid and gives ethyl acetate and water. Plant-wide operability and control of the entire process plant with decentralized controllers is explained by doing both steady state and dynamic simulations. Tray temperature control loop performance is tested for the …

Binary Distillation Design and Control
Abstract: This paper discusses design and control strategies of binary distillation process using ASPEN PLUS V8.8 simulating tool. Steady state design procedure for binary distillation column design to separate acrolein and propylene is explained. Dynamic simulations were conducted by designing control structure. The developed control structure contains level controllers, pressure controllers and temperature controllers. The developed control structure has shown good performance in withstanding the various process disturbances.

Design and Energy Analysis of Butyl Acetate Plant using Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Energy Analyzer
Abstract: This paper discusses the design of Butyl acetate production process by using Aspen Hysys. Heat integration is performed for the entire designed plant using Aspen Energy Analyzer. The proposed design consists of a mixer, continuous stirred tank reactor and two distillation columns. Methyl acetate reacts with butyl alcohol and gives the butyl acetate, methanol. The paper is divided in to three parts. In the first part, the entire process plant …
