The document discusses the design of a two-reactor system for the methyl formate hydrolysis reaction. A preliminary hydrolysis reactor is chosen to achieve 10% conversion with no heating required due to low conversion levels. A continuous stirred tank reactor is then used as the main hydrolysis reactor, aiming for 60% conversion due to increased costs at higher conversion levels due to equilibrium constraints.

is autocatalytic so two reactor system is chosen. Reactor cost was modelled at various levels of conversion and 10% was chosen. Due to low levels of conversion no heating is required for the preliminary hydrolysis reactor.
CSTR chosen for ease of control of variables such as temperature. Due to increased costs at higher conversion because of equilibrium constraints 60% conversion chosen. Flash Evaporator allows for easy recycle of unreacted materials.
