Before Reactor
Reactants are typically purified before Reaction
But
Could reactor be run so that no separation is
needed?
Could reactor be run so that a small separation
system could be used?
Could products also be effectively separated
before the reactor with one separation system?
Could other configurations be used?

Suggestions for efficient operation
Make reactor hit high conversion
Minimize side reactions with
Temperature profile
Pressure used
Excess reactants
Impurities added to the feed
Cumene Process
