Abstract The main objective of this project is to produce acetic acid from methane. This project will show the industrialization or commercializing of this process by using HYSYS design software. The objective of the development of new acetic acid processes has been to reduce raw material consumption, energy requirements, and investment costs. Significant cost advantages resulted from the use of carbon monoxide and of low-priced methanol as feedstock’s. At present, industrial processes for the production of acetic acid are dominated by methanol carbonylation. The kinetic reactor has therefore been efficient for the operation. Material and energy balances were constructed effectively using the data generated from the simulated unit operations. The commercialization the production acetic acid from methane oxidation it is a success. The production occurs in three major steps. In the process, another method was introduced to maximize the production without any loss of the raw material. The carbonylation stage makes sure that no byproducts are discharged everything is converted to acetic acid. |
