From Ex. 4.1-1 The desired production rate of
benzene is PB =265 mol/hr.
If use a gas recycle and purge stream for the H2 and
CH4 and remove diphenyl, then there are three

RECYCLE AND PURGE
If we feed an excess amount of H2 , FE, into
the process,.
The total amount of H2 fed to the process will
be
PB
FE (1 S ) y FH FG (5.2-4)
2S
PB
PCH 4 (1 y F H ) FG (5.2-5)
S
Methane Produced
Methane entering the
process
The total purge flow rate PG will then be the
excess H2, FE, plus the total methane PCH4 or
PB
PG FE (1 y F H ) FG (5.2-6)
S
Using FE as a design variable, we nornally
use the purge composition of the reactant
yPH, where
FE
y PH (5.2-7)
PG
0<yPH<1
yPH depends on the feed composition of reactant
and the conversion
Expressions for the makeup gas rate, FG and purge
rate PG explicitly in terms of the purge composition
of reactant yPH

Adding these expressions give
