Question

The academic version of the process invention program (PIP) contains several examples, as follows:

HDAl-hydrodealkylation of toluene to produce benzene

CYHEXl-cyclohexane production by hydrogenation of benzene

STYRl-styrene production from ethylbenzene

XYLl-production of m-xylene from toluene

ANHYDl-reaction of acetone and acetic acid to form acetic anhydride

BUTALl-alkylation reaction of butene-1 and isobutane to produce iso-octane

Select the “new plant design” mode and the “look at existing flow sheet” option, and follow the synthesis steps for one of these processes. ‘Obtain the current flow sheet as output at each level of the synthesis procedure. Also list the heuristics used at each step.
