selection and optimization, along with operational parameter adjustments, play a
Omkar Mudkanna crucial role in achieving high yield, purity, and product quality. This research further
emphasizes the development of a conceptual design for process control, along with
Software’s used the optimization of reactor sizing and equipment specifications using Aspen HYSYS
AutoCAD 2D simulation software. Moreover, conceptual designs for process flow diagrams (PFD),
Aspen HYSYS
piping and instrumentation diagrams (PID), and equipment layouts utilizing
Microsoft Excel
AutoCAD software are provided. The integrated approach presented in this study
aims to offer valuable insights for the design and manufacturing of acetone and
