Evaluation of ratio control schemes in a two-temperature control structure for a methyl acetate reactive distillation column

Experiments and dynamic modeling of a reactive distillation column for the production of ethyl acetate by considering the heterogeneous catalyst pilot complexities

“…It is thus possible to infer the regulation of hybrid reactive columns by measures placed in the separative sections. This fact is verified in the literature by different authors (Lai et al, 2007;Kumar and Kaistha, 2009).…”

A review: control of reactive divided wall distillation column

“…Kumar and Kaistha studied the effect of internal heat integration by catalyst redistribution on the controllability of an ideal and a methyl acetate reactive distillation (RD) column [27].They also evaluated the two-temperature control structure for a methyl acetate reactive distillation (RD) column on the basis of ratio control scheme [28]. Volker et al [29] studied the heterogeneously catalyzed esterification of methanol and acetic acid to methyl acetate in a semi batch process in a reactive distillation column.…”

Experimental analysis in different batch operating units for process intensification: methyl acetate production case study

“…Eastman chemical company's methyl acetate production features a reactive distillation column, and is one of the most successful large-scale commercial applications of process intensification [14,15]. Other reactive distillation studies reported for this system based on heterogeneously catalyzed reaction include those carried out in continuous mode [16][17][18][19][20], in batch mode [21] and in semi-batch mode [22][23][24][25][26].…”
