Level 1. Batch vs Continious

1. Production rate
112,000,000 lb/yr = Continious (Douglas)
2. Market Forces
a. Seasonal production
DEE dibutuhkan sepanjang tahun, terutama sebagai pelarut organic,
bahan bakar mesin, dan produk militer = Continious (Douglas)
b. Short Product Lifetime
3. Scale-up problems
a. Very long reaction time
Waktu reaksi pada proses ini adalah 80 kmol/h, atau 288 mol/s,
sehingga tergolong cepat, jadi proses yang tepat adalah Continious
(Douglas)
b. Handling slurries at low flow rates
Fasa dalam system adalah gas = Continious (douglas)

Feed = 70% mol 2C2H5OH + 30% mol H2O
Feed impurity is in a liquid phase and also a by product, so the feed
streams should also be purify first.
