    Aspen Plus Tutorial-Reactors

    Uploaded by

    Joshua Ngetuny
    The document describes different reactor models in Aspen Plus and their purposes: - Stoichiometric (RStoic), Yield (RYield), Equilibrium (REquil, RGibbs) reactors model reactions at equilibrium or with specified yields. Kinetic reactors (RCSTR, RPlug, RBatch) use reaction kinetics. - Examples provided demonstrate using the different reactor models to solve problems involving hydro-dealkylation of toluene, DME synthesis from syngas, and epoxy propane production.

    • RCSTR, RPlug, and RBatch are kinetic reactor
    models. Use the Reactions form to define the
    reaction stoichiometry and data for these
    models.
    • You do not need to specify heats of reaction,
    because Aspen Plus uses the elemental enthalpy
    reference state for the definition of the
    component heat of formation. Therefore, heats
    of reaction are accounted for in the mixture
    enthalpy calculations for the reactants versus the
    products.
    • RYield uses the Fenske, Underwood and Gilliland
    method

    Rstoic: Problem description
    • The process of Hydro-dealkylation of Toluene to
    produce Benzene and Methane takes place at a
    pressure of 25bar and 600 degrees celsius. The feed
    is available in vapour form at a temp of 200 degrees
    celcius and 25bar. The single pass conversion of
    Toluene in the reactor is 90%
    • Feed flow rate of both Toluene and Hydrogen are
    100kmol/hr. The reaction takes place as follows;

    • Determine the mass flow rate and composition of


    the product stream

    Direct Dimethyl ether synthesis
    • Dimethyl ether (DME) is a clean and economical
    alternative fuel which can be produced from
    natural gas through synthesis gas (Hydrogen &
    CO)
    • An equimolar feed of Hydrogen and CO is reacted
    to produce DME
    • Feed is available at reaction temperature and
    pressure that is 260 degrees celcius and 5 bar
    respectively
    • Determine the equilibrium composition
