In the present paper, steady and unsteady state simulation of Amir Kabir1, 3 butadiene purification units has been done by using Aspen and Aspen Dynamic software together with the Peng- Robinson equation of state to investigate the system responses to the disturbances. In the unsteady state simulation mode; the flow rates, pressure, temperature and level (FPTL) were controlled by Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers in the unit. Finally, transient responses to changes such as feed temperature, feed flow rates, steam flow rates and the duties of the re-boiler of columns in unit were gained. For reaching to purified 1,3 butadiene, sensitivity of the process to the fluctuations of feed temperature and on the duties of the re-boilers of the columns is noticeable .}, keywords = {Simulation,Steady-State,Dynamic,distillation,PID}, url = {https://www.ijche.com/article_38868.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijche.com/article_38868_05e615369c14b1f3575be577e4f5fb7f.pdf} }
