    This document discusses the synthesis of propylene glycol using reactive distillation. It summarizes the current conventional process for propylene glycol production, which uses tubular reactors and multiple distillation columns. The document then proposes using a reactive distillation column, where the reaction and separation take place simultaneously, as an alternative. It describes how process simulation tools were used during the conceptual design, kinetic model development, and pilot plant design stages to analyze the reactive distillation system and optimize the process. The simulation results showed that reactive distillation is a profitable process that offers advantages over the conventional method.

    Glycol production at Repsol-YPF

     2 plants:
     Puertollano (Spain): 20,000 t/a

     Tarragona (Spain): 50,000 t/a (@ 2000)

     2/3 Tubular reactors + 7 distillation columns

     Important issues:
     High Water/PO ratio to maximize MPG selectivity

     Running cost related to water excess

     Changes in product demand

     Process flexibility

    Conventional process vs. Reactive distillation

    Conventional process Reactive Dist. Process


    Adiabatic tubular reactors Reactive distillation column
    Multistage evaporation -
    Drying column with high duty Less duty in drying column
    High H2O/PO ratios for selectivity Stoichiometric ratios possible
    No steam in reactors Steam consumption in react. col.
    Water recycle from evap. & drying -
    Selectivity from H2O/PO and recycle Selectivity from column operation

    Conclusions

     A process for MPG by hydration of PO in a (reactive)


    distillation column is considered profitable.

     The interaction between reaction and separation


    introduces a more complex behaviour leading to
    new challenges in design, operation and control.

     Repsol-YPF has been applying succesfully


    simulation (Aspen Plus) as a key tool through the
    development process. At this time, in the pilot plant
    stage.
