Abstract
An extended dynamic model is presented for a polyesterification reaction in a semi-batch wise operated vessel connected to a distillation column. The developed model describes the effect of polymerization on reactants. The model also contains kinetics describing the change of rate order during the reaction. To improve the predictive capabilities, the model has been extended with advanced thermodynamic POLYNRTL activities. The extended
model is subsequently validated with experimental data from literature. It was found that the prediction of distilled mass (regression coefficient (R2) = 0.995) and propylene glycol concentration (R2 = 0.97) in distilled mass is significantly improved.
