In the Production of Dimethyl Ether $($DME$)$ from Glycerol and LDPE $,$ you need to assess the feasibility of the process specified in the Design

Brief by conducting a conceptual design, that covers the following topics:

$1\mathrm{.}1.$ Design Basis

$1\mathrm{.}2.$ Literature review

$1\mathrm{.}3.$ Process synthesis

$1\mathrm{.}4.$ Process Description

$1\mathrm{.}5.$ Process Simulation: You will use simulation software of your choice $($Aspen Plus,

Chemcad etc.$).$ Include a description of your simulation and thermodynamic property

method and models used. The simulation report generated by the simulation package

can be included in the appendix.

$1\mathrm{.}6.$ Process Flow Diagram with a table containing the mole flow rates, enthalpy,

compositions, temperature, and pressures of all the process streams. All the process

equipment should be indicated on this flow diagram. Include an overall material

balance check to show that your flowsheet mass balance is correct.

$1\mathrm{.}7.$ Utility requirement schedule detailing all the cooling, heating, electrical, and fuel

needed in the process and their cost.

$1\mathrm{.}8.$ Sustainability analysis: The analysis should include economic, social, and

environmental factors.
