  3. Abstract:
  4. One of the ways of giving a considerable handle on the account of developing this processes using simulating software. In this work the primary simulation in Aspen plus software done for comparison of various equations of state. Hence, for preparation of one reliable and exact model, the primary prepared model studied for different kinds of Equations of state, activity coefficient and calculation methods of Equilibrium constant in existing simulator software bed. Designing Dimethyl Ether pilot plant on the basis of reactor simulation is achieved by using the compatibility between simulation data and empirical data relevant to the industrial unit. The constants of the kinetic model were adjusted according to empirical data and as a result the suitable kinetic model was obtained. Aspen_B_Jac software has been used in order to design the pilot heat exchangers. Other data required in order to complete the design are data related to control philosophy, process description, equipment list & instrument index, process flow diagrams (PFD, P&ID) and general philosophy of pilot safety
