Dear all

My company will revamp its 1,3-butadiene plant and we will be responsible for the basic engineering.

Unfortunatelly, Zeon and some other experienced companies with extractive distillation declined the job due to other bigger projects ongoing.

My team intent is to simulate the plant and develop the basic engineering ourselves and give the detail engineering to others.

Does anyone have experience with the GPB process simulation? What thermodynamic model(s) should be used to overcome extractive distillation problems? Any good papers or documentation regarding extractive distilattion simulation, focused on butadiene extraction?

Experience with Aspen or Hysys on the GPB process?

Thanks in advance
AndreChE
