Abstract

To obtain the optimum integrated structure and the steady-state simulation of SRC for methyl acetate production, the systematic design approach based on the concept of independent reaction amount is applied to the process of SRC for methyl acetate production. And based on the basic control loops is designed, multi-variable model predictive control modular with methyl acetate concentration and temperature of sensitive plate is designed. At last, SRC of methyl acetate dynamic simulation based on process simulation software Aspen is used to verify the effectiveness of the control scheme. The effectiveness of control structure is demonstrated by fluctuations in methyl acetate concentration and temperature of sensitive plate. The simulation results show good control precision, robustness and dynamic follow performance of the control scheme.
