OBJECTIVE
PROCEDURE
1. Firstly ,a new iCON project is started by selecting the New Project Button.
In the window , All Property package from the Chemical System Categories is
selected.
Then, WILSON is selected from the Thermodynamic Model drop-down list.
After that click the Apply button.
4. In the Visio PFD flowsheet, all the equipments involved in production of acetic
anhydride were put in correct order.
5. The stream was chosen and labeled FEED then the Plug Flow Reactor(PFR) is added
and connected to the outlet stream Stream_out.

PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM
Feed Stream_out
PFR-1
Based on the figure above, it shows the PFD for the production of acetic anhydride. Vapour
phase cracking of acetone is used in order to produce ketene and methane.
This reaction is first order with respect to acetone. The energy out is Q(out)=0 W

The diagram shows the volume for the volume of PFR to achieve at least 20% conversion of
acetone is 0.044m3 which the length is 13.01m and the inner diameter is 6.550cm.

DISCUSSION
The objective of this experiment is to determine the volume, length, and diameter of the PFR
for desired conversion of product. In this experiment, the desired conversion of acetone is
20%. In order to get the 20% conversion, the length and diameter are adjusted. When the
length and diameter were adjust, the flow of the feed and stream out of the product will
change significantly. Thus, the conversion can be determine from the flow of the feed and
product by using equation. In this experiment, to get the 20% conversion, the length is
13.01m and the diameter of the PFR is 6.55cm. The result also show the volume of the PFR
which is 0.044m3. In real situation, to build a PFR reactor, a certain specification shoud be
follow. An ICON software is a theoretically calculation in order to get the 1st idea of
manufacture of the reactor.
A plug flow reactor (PFR) is a type of chemical reactor where the influent is pumped into the
pipe. Chemical reactions occur through the length of the PFR and the reaction rate is not a
constant. A conversion factor is a ratio (or fraction) which represents the relationship between
two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.
CONCLUSION
As conclusion, a desired conversion of a product can be achieve by adjusting the length and
diameter of the PFR reactor.
