Parametric sensitivity analysis of the separation process for n-butanol production

n-butanol and iso-butanol are commonly produced by the hydrogenation of n-butyraldehyde and iso-butyraldehyde employing the patented copper catalyst accommodated in the reactors in series. The main cause of the lower n-butanol and iso-butanol yield was due to the catalyst blockage rendering a pressu...

Bypassing the last reactor from the series could be a potential solution to continue running the plant until the next shutdown plan to replace catalyst. The study adopted simulation approach using Aspen Plus V10 to investigate the effect of bypassing the last reactor in the series to the product purity of the downstream separation processes.
