Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK, also 2-butanone) is both a common chemical and potentially promising fuel. It can be produced biotechnologically via 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) followed by dehydration with the byproducts acetoin isobutyraldehyde (IBA). This article presents process development including thermodynamic modeling of separation steps. Alternatives are analyzed for energy efficiency heat integration as first measure to assess viability but effect capacity. The largely depends on technology...
We present COSMO-CAMPD, a framework for integrated design of molecules and processes based on COSMO-RS.
Shortcut methods are valuable tools for a comprehensive evaluation of key performance indicators in the early phase conceptual process design. For design extraction columns, operation at minimum solvent demand represents thermodynamically sound indicator, which is, however, difficult to determine. The suggested shortcut model therefore exploits existence pinch point directly identify demand. It is solved quickly and reliably by step‐by‐step procedure. final step allows reduction...
Shortcut methods are valuable tools for the fast evaluation of key performance indicators in early phase conceptual process design. For design absorption columns, operation at minimum solvent demand represents a thermodynamically sound indicator, which is, however, difficult to determine because an infinite number separation stages need be considered. Instead, suggested shortcut model exploits existence pinch point identify demand. Existing concepts, such as well‐known equation Kremser (Natl...
Abstract A conceptual design study for a butadiene telomerization process is presented. The impact of catalyst selection on the economics included into by an optimization‐based approach relying shortcut models. In comparison to established process, investment cost novel designed increase only marginally, while operating costs decrease more than 75 %. Preliminary pilot‐plant experiments indicate, however, that economically favorable reaction concept not stable. Consequently, alternative...
