This application demonstrates how you can access and include external thermodynamic and physical property calculations in your simulation, using the Thermodynamics feature. The example shows how you can easily modify the predefined Plug-flow reactor type in the Reaction Engineering interface to set up a membrane reactor model.

At high temperatures and pressures, and in the presence of hydrogen, toluene can be demethylated to produce benzene. Furthermore, benzene can react reversibly to produce biphenyl. The following example illustrates the simulation of the hydrodealkylation process, carried out in a membrane reactor. This reactor arrangement allows for continuous addition of hydrogen to the process, increasing the selectivity for the desired benzene product.
