چکیده مقاله
Production and utilization of renewable fuels for transportation is essential for a sustainable energy perspective of Iran, as well as the rest of the world In the transportation sector, ethanol produced from natural gas has been promising as a future fuel for spark ignition engines because of its high octane value Ethanol, however, is not a high quality fuel for compression ignition engines Ethanol can be easily converted through a dehydration process to produce diethyl ether DEE , which conversely is an excellent fuel in that regard with a higher energy density than ethanol In this study, first the diethyl ether DEE production process is designed, and then simulated in Aspen HYSYS software environment The main purpose of this study is the economic evaluation of the process to obtain total capital cost, net profit, rate of return ROR , and payoff period POP The economic evaluation results showed that in the DEE production, the equipment cost is 0 75 million USD, the total capital cost is 3 6 million USD, the net profit is 2 3 million USD per year, the ROR is 73% and the and the POP is 1 3 years
