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.

    Conversion
    99.97 % of Br2 (given: US 3 988 427 A (Ethyl Corp.), Example: bromine conversion of the flame reactor about 99.97 mol-% on average (99.96-99.99) with about 2.6 mol-% hydrogen excess; applied at 5 mol-% excess (D-004, D-005))
    Heat of reaction
    ΔH = -102,580 kJ/kmol at 298.15 K, as written (given: ATcT via cheme chemistry thermo (chemicals package): 2 x dHf(HBr, g) -35.85 less dHf(Br2, g) +30.88 kJ/mol at 298.15 K; Wikipedia 'Hydrogen bromide' infobox gives dHf(HBr) -36.13 to -36.45 kJ/mol (-103.1 to -103.8 kJ per extent))
