Abstract

This study investigates the isomerization of cis-2-butene to trans-2-butene in a single-tube Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) using Aspen HYSYS V14 for process simulation. The reaction is modeled as a homogeneous, irreversible isomerization with first-order kinetics (rate constant k=0.003833 s−1). The objective was to determine the optimal reactor volume and channel diameter to achieve 95% conversion of cis-2-butene under specified conditions: 1 meter reactor length, 100 kgmol/h feed rate, 12 bar pressure, and 25°C. The Peng-Robinson fluid package was employed for thermodynamic calculations. Simulation results indicate that a reactor volume of 2.268 m³ and channel diameter of 1.699 m are required to achieve the target conversion. This study demonstrates the efficacy of Aspen HYSYS in reactor design optimization and provides valuable insights for industrial applications of butene isomerization. The methodology presented offers a robust framework for addressing similar chemical engineering challenges.
