PROBLEMS FOR MODULE IV
IV.1 For the recycle process, ethyl benzene process and cumene process case studies that we have gone
over in Module IV, design a control structure for maximum reactor heat removal as the bottleneck
constraint.
IV.2 For the zero DIPB discharge cumene process in Problem III.2, the zero furnace duty, maximum
reactor hot spot temperature and maximum recycle column boilup are active hard capacity
constraints at maximum throughput. Design an economic plantwide control structure in light of
these capacity constraints.
