scientific knowledge in chemistry and physics with the
analysis of industrial processes to convert raw materials into
products. It is essential to design and operate processing
systems in a safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly
way. In this project, a recognition of the equipment found in Figure 3. Main flowsheet of Production of cumene from

is carried out, especially the reactor bank. Following this, a
simulation is made in Aspen Plus for the production of
cumene from benzene and propylene for the PFR reactor
with a capacity of 3 liters, taking into account its dimensions,
the use of valves, accessories and necessary pipes in the
same. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is proposed according to a
possible recirculation, its performance and the costs
necessary for it. Figure 4. Benzene Inflow Vs Conversion and Yield.
