Equipment wise Material and Energy Balance for Cumene Production from Benzene and
Propylene
Approximate calculation of material balance for Cumene production process from Benzene and Propylenebased on the Flowsheet: used for the
production of 300 tons/day of cumene.
Equipment wise energy balance for 300 Ton/Day Cumene production pilot plant*
Benzene feed vaporizer:
(*refer process flowsheet)
The stream of mixed feed of benzene and cumene is feed to the vaporizer with 40 oC at 25 atm.
Enthalpy of benzene = C p ∆T + λ = 161.46 X 203 + 23,773.63 = 56,550.01 kJ/Kmole
Enthalpy of cumene = 246.92 X 203+ 30919.2 = 81043.96 kJ/Kmole
Heat required for the mixed feed = 0.99 X 56550.01+0.1 X 81043.96
= 64088.89 kJ/Kmole
=64088.89 X 223.9= 14349502 kJ = 14349.502 MJ/h
Propylene feed vaporizer:
Propylene and propane fed from the tank with 25 oC at 25 atm.
The stream is vaporized and heat to the temperature 243oC and mixed with benzene feed.
Bubbling point and dew point of the mixture is about 62.5 oC
Latent heat of propylene = 17229.4 kJ / h
Latent heat of propane = 17611.41 kJ / h
The average heat capacity of liquid propylene =123.51
and propane=125.48
The average heat capacity of gaseous propylene = 82.86
and propane=97.48

Heat required for propane:
17611.39+4705.5+17595.075 = 39912.57 kJ/h
Heat required for the feed = 117.9 (21861.08 X 0.95 + 39912.57 X 0.05)
= 2683.83 MJ/h
