Case 7742(2) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF METHYL ACETATE In an integrated process for the production of methyl acetate for downstream utilisation in which methanol and acetic acid are reacted in an esterification reactor and the methyl acetate is recovered by distillation and the water recovered by azeotropic distillation, the process is operated in 'standby' mode by shutting off the methanol and acetic acid feeds to the esterification reactor and recycling the methyl acetate and water to the esterification reactor so that the process may be rapidly re-started.
