Methylacetate Hydrolysis revamped with reactive distillation

A Reactive Distillation column was added downstream to the Hydrolysis Reactor of a European customer.
 
Our involvement:
Feasibility Study
Pilot test specific to the customer's feed
Scale-up Study
Assistance during the Basic engineering
Procurement of column internals including catalyst
Supervision of the installation of internals
Assistance during commissioning
 
The existing plant had several columns which were reused without major changes. The reaction conversion process was more than doubled. Therefore the customer now saves 600,000 Euro yearly on operating costs.
