The work describes the existing problems of the technological systems for cumene synthesis catalyst AlCl3. The paper describes the stages of development of the mathematical model ofbenzene alkylation with propylene. The model allows the calculation of composition of the product stream when changing process parameters of the plant: temperature, molar ratio of benzene/propylene, feed space velocity. The error of the model does not exceed 7.5%. The computer modeling system "Alkylation" is developed in Borland Delphi 7, and the module optimization of the process parameters is called "Optimization". The calculations allowed reducing the catalyst consumption in the alkylation reactor (to 10-15%) and increasing the cumene concentration in the product mixture (to 25% wt.). The concentration of n-propylbenzene in the output stream is 0.05 wt%. The recommendations for optimization of the industrial alkylation unit are presented for implementation at OJSC "Omsky Kautchuk"
An alternative technology of benzene alkylation with propylene is proposed at OJSC Omsk rubber. The effectiveness of aluminum chloride catalyst replacement is evaluated on sulfocationites. A discrete supply of propane-propylene fraction to the alkylation reactor is proposed. The mathematical model of benzene alkylation process with propylene using the sulfocationites catalysts was developed. Mathematical model of the process was developed in the program environment AspenTech. The numerical values of the rate constants were determined. An adequate process model allow carrying out numerical experiments on the variation of the basic reagents relations reactions
