      abstract = {2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) is a branched, eight-carbon alcohol with the molecular formula C8H18O. It is an eight-carbon alcohol that belongs to the family of branched alcohols. 2. Ethylhexanol is a colourless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. It also has a slight odour. By using ASPEN HYSYS as a case study, this research project aims to simulate and optimize the manufacture of 2-Ethylhexanol from propylene and synthesis gas. Using Aspen HYSYS chemical engineering software, a process plant was simulated to produce 5000 tons of 2-ethylhexanol annually using propylene and synthesis gas as feedstocks. To remove contaminants that could harm the rhodium catalyst used in the hydroformylation process, fresh propylene and syngas are treated. The plant needed to be optimized when the simulation was over, thus an optimizer that was included in the program and an optimizer spreadsheet containing the parameters were used. With this, an energy analysis was activated to calculate the amount of energy saved. The energy analyzer showed 2.45% energy savings once the first simulation results were made available, which provided a sense of the changes. The simulation results showed that the process can produce 2-ethylhexanol with a purity of 100% after optimizing. },
