Abstract
A methodology for process intensification that reduces the number of
pieces of equipment as part of the design of a chemical process is
presented. The method is based on three stages, the first one to detect
feasible process alternatives, the second one to identify
intensification opportunities, and in the third one phenomena building
blocks are used to develop the best intensified process. The methodology
is applied for the intensification of an aldolization process for the
synthesis of dioxolane products, based on reacting ethylene glycol and
1,2-butanediol with acetaldehyde to produce 2-methyl,1,3-dioxolane (2MD)
and 4-ethyl,2-methyl,1,3-dioxolane (4EMD). It is shown how a base
flowsheet is effectively converted into an intensified reactive
distillation process with the application of the intensification
methodology.
