“…In the past few years, a significant number of papers have been issued containing well-documented information on laboratory-scale reactive distillation experiments, together with simulation results that are generally in accordance with the experimental data (see, e.g., [9][10][11]). The modelling and simulation of the reactive distillation process, carried out both with the equilibrium stage and the rate-based approach, is based on careful experimentation and modelling of the fundamental vapour-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria, reaction equilibrium, and kinetics.…”

Separation technology as a sub-discipline of thermal process engineering is one of the most critical steps in the production of chemicals, essential for the quality of intermediate and end products. The discipline comprises the construction of facilities that convert raw materials into value-added products along the value chain. Conversions typically take place in repeated reaction and separation steps—either in batch or continuous processes. The end products are the result of several production and separation steps that are not only sequentially linked, but also include the treatment of unused raw materials, by-products and wastes. Production processes in the process industry are particularly susceptible to fluctuations in raw materials and other influences affecting product quality. This is a challenge, despite increasing fluctuations, to deliver targeted quality and simultaneously meet the increasing dynamics of the market, at least for high value fine chemicals. In order to survive successfully in a changed environment, chemical companies must tread new paths. This includes the potential of digital technologies. The full integration and intelligent networking of systems and processes is progressing hesitantly. This contribution aims to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalization in thermal process engineering by introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes.

“…A novel mapping method -described in our previous work -has been employed to predict the applicability of RD based on the applicability graphs of generic cases and to study the effect of relative volatilities, chemical equilibrium and kinetics (represented by Damkӧhler number) on RD processes (Muthia et al, 2018). This method was also used to determine the optimal RD configurations that can operate at lowest costs (Muthia et al, 2018a).…”

“…On the boundary line and inside the applicability area at any NTS, the operation of reactive distillation is conceivable. Multiple RD configurations are available inside the applicability area which give flat-optimum solutions (Muthia et al, 2018). For the sake of clarity, the applicability graphs shown in this work have a maximum scale of 100 for both x-and y-axes.…”

“…The present study aims to provide insights into RD processes by using a mapping method that was initially developed to quickly assess the applicability of RD based on pre-defined maps (i.e. applicability graphs) obtained from generic cases (Muthia et al, 2018). In that initial work, we validated the approach using two case studies, i.e.…”

A solid catalyzed esterification reaction in a batch reactive distillation (BRD) apparatus was carried out to evaluate the start-up dynamics and steady-state characteristics. As a novelty, the column was provided with a heating jacket. A wall heating of 50 °C of the column gave the highest purity of distillate for this system of producing methyl acetate from a catalytic reaction between acetic acid and methanol. Experiments were performed with constant heat supply rate to the reboiler. Temperature and concentration dynamics as well as purity of the top distillate were recorded. A modeling approach was developed to validate the experimental results. A simulation code for energy and material balance under reaction and distillation conditions was developed and the experimental distillate composition of the top product was validated with simulation results for various heat input rates.
