Go with the flow and optimize your process
Phenol and acetone are produced worldwide through the industrially vital Cumene process. Their economic and chemical importance spans numerous industries, making them essential components in everything from plastics to pharmaceuticals. The production process involves the oxidation of cumene to cumene hydroperoxide (CHP), followed by acid-catalyzed cleavage to yield phenol and acetone. Since reaction conditions must be tightly controlled to maximize yield and minimize by-products, real-time concentration monitoring is critical to maintaining efficiency throughout the process.
Not only is CHP an essential intermediate during the production of acetone and phenol, but also a critical component for polymer synthesis. There, it acts primarily as a radical initiator, enabling the formation of polymers from monomers.
Anton Paar’s L-Cor Coriolis mass flow meters provide an ideal solution as they directly measure the mass flow using Coriolis force and offer a high level of precision. The meter also determines the density of the medium, allowing it to provide not only the volumetric flow rate but also a calculation of the concentration. A built-in temperature sensor further enables precise temperature measurement. Observe five parameters in real-time with one meter.
