Title (Not On Flex) : Simulation of Chemical Reactor Using Aspen Plus

The document describes using Aspen Plus software to simulate a chemical reactor that produces benzene from toluene through hydrodealkylation. Aspen Plus uses mathematical models to predict the performance of chemical processes. The simulation results show the reactor effluent rate is 44.85 tons/hr at 684.774 degrees C, with benzene composition of 27.11% along with hydrogen, methane, and other components.

Simulation of Chemical Reactor Using Aspen Plus

Introduction:
Benzene (C6H6) can be produced from toluene (C7H8) by
hydrodealkylation. Hydrodealkylation is a chemical reaction that often
involves reacting an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as toluene, in the
presence of hydrogen gas to form a simpler aromatic hydrocarbon
devoid of functional groups.
Aspen plus is a process simulation software package widely used in
chemical industry today. Aspen plus uses mathematical models to
predict the performance of the process.
