    This document describes the production conditions for making cumene. A recycle reactor operates at 220 F and 36 psia, using 40 lbmol/hr of benzene and 40 lbmol/hr of propylene. The reaction of benzene and propylene produces cumene at 90% conversion of propylene. The process involves cooling and separating the reaction products before collecting the cumene product.
