For azeotropic distillation to separate methyl acetate and methanol, what azestic should be used?

Does anyone here know what azeotrope can be used to separate methyl acetate and methanol? For the simulation in Aspen, it is planned to use an azeotropic distillation column and a atmospheric pressure column.

There are reports of water being used as an azeotrope; you can look into it and give it a try!

Our factory uses water as the extractant; purer methyl acetate is obtained at the top of the tower, while the bottom of the tower contains an azeotrope of methanol and water.
