PROII CASEBOOK Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) Plant：模拟案例的甲基叔丁基醚（MTBE）装置.pdf

PRO/II CASEBOOK Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) Plant Abstract ® This casebook demonstrates the use of PRO/II in the simulation of the synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). MTBE is of current interest as an octane enhancer for reformulated gasolines, and is becoming increasingly important as stricter air pollution control measures are implemented. A PRO/II simulation model of an MTBE plant is presented here. The process plant includes a reactor and an azeotropic distillation column for separation of the MTBE product. A reactive distillation section is added to the MTBE azeotropic column in order to increase the overall conversion to MTBE. This is followed by the methanol recovery section which includes a SM liquid-liquid extractor. SimSci’s SRKM bank provides a good simulation of the VLE fractionators and the VLLE extractor. All product specifications are achieved. The thermodynamics successfully predicts the azeotropic removal of methanol from the MTBE product stream.
