Modelling And Study Of Control Structures Of Reactive Distillation For The Production Of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)

This project studies the reactive distillation of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). A simulation model for this process was selected based on a selected literature source, with additional information utilised from other literature sources. This model was and successfully modelled in the ASPEN PLUS...
