Abstract: This paper aims to design a factory model for the production of Methyl Ethyl Ketone by dehydrogenation of 2- Butanol. Super pro software (version 10) was used for design. The stages of modeling and data of production lines and devices were explained and compared to manual calculations. This paper also covered the physical and chemical properties of Methyl Ethyl Ketone and its uses and other methods of producing it. The most important result of this research is the success of the modeling process and the absence between it and the data of manual accounts 0.001 and 0.0012 in the final production stages which confirms the accuracy of the program. Therefore, we recommend its use in the feasibility study of the establishment of chemical plants. The temperature concentration and enthalpy of different production stages were also studied.
