Checked: balances
As the processes state itStoichiometry, conversions, heats of reaction and catalyst windows are taken from each process's files with their provenance. The build checks only that each process's equation balances in every element, from the process's own component formulas; it does not check the numbers. A process's design maturity applies to them.

  1. US 3,607,960 A (Gulf Research & Development Co., 1971), background: the benzene yield of thermal hydrodealkylation 'may be increased somewhat' by conducting it in the presence of diphenyl; a reversible diphenyl reaction is consistent with that statement (an inference of this design, not the patent's words) (D-021)
