Abstract

Abstract: This paper focuses on the dynamic control of distillation columnwith side reactors (SRC) formethyl acetate production. To obtain the optimumintegrated structure and steady state simulation, the systematic design approach based on the concept of independent reaction amount is applied to the process of SRC formethyl acetate production. In addition to the basic control loops, multi-variable model predictive control modular with methyl acetate concentration and temperature of sensitive plate is designed. Then, based on process simulation software Aspen Plus, dynamic simulation of SRC for methyl acetate production is used to verify the effectiveness of the control scheme.

Key words: Distillation column with side reactors (SRC), Multi-variable model predictive control (MPC), Methyl acetate, Steady-state optimization, Dynamic simulation
