dc.description.abstractThis project proposes an alternative to organic solvents by the production of less harmful, less toxic and renewable compounds -- The conceptual design of the production process of the green solvent 2-MethylTethrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) which is an aprotic ether solvent partially miscible in water is presented -- 2-MeTHF has been used in organometallic and biphasic chemical processes because its interesting combination of properties provides opportunities for process simplification [1] -- It is proposed as an alternative of 3 common solvents, such as Tethrahydrofuran (THF), Dichloromethane (DCM) and Toluene, which have applications in the pharmaceutical, plastic, among other industries [2] -- In order to develop a more profitable productive process a simulation will be performed in Aspen HYSYS allowing to understand better the synergy among the different process variables -- Also, to create a more sustainable process, an energy integration is included -- Finally to evaluate the economic feasibility of the project, a cost analysis is carried out before and after optimization using process design tools with the support of Aspen HYSYS Economics -- The result of this work was a design and simulation (case 1) of a process for the production of 2-MeTHF at high purity (~99%) and integrate energetically using HEN methodology (case 3) and reuse of utilities (case 2) -- Optimization can reduce total costs by 54% of the cost of manufacturespa
