Welcome to the home page of the 304 IPRO. Take a look at What's New in our web.

Styrene is produced by the catalytic dehidrogeneration of ethilbenzene. A solid catalys fixed bed reactor is used for the reaction. The reaction is carried out in the presence of diluent steam to reduce the hydrocarbons partial pressures and minimize their complete destruction to hydrogen and carbon. Relatively small amounts of low boiling olefins are produced and partially react with liberated hydrogen to form the corresponding parafin.

The ehylbenzene conversion and product selectivies are scaled up from bench scale experiments using weight hourly space velocity and temperature as the independent design variables. Conversion and selectivities are computed in the reaction module. Other aromantics in the reactor feed will also undergo conversion to low boiling olefins and hidrogen. These conversions and byproduct selectivities are also computed in the reactor module.
