Methanol dehydrates to dimethyl ether over the reactive stages of a column — reaction and separation in one shell, pulling DME overhead while unconverted methanol and water leave the bottoms (Peng-Robinson EoS avoids the missing UNIFAC group-decomposition for ethers that blocks this under an activity-coefficient package).

The flowsheet

The solved topology — every unit op's real duty, conversion, or split, read straight off a genuine converged solve.

The stream table

Every stream's flow, temperature, pressure, and composition — real converged numbers, not placeholders.
