This paper presents rigorous design of a process used for the production of ethylbenzene. A number of processes with different design schemes were reviewed and evaluated. The most suitable processes was selected and simulated using Aspen HYSYS simulator. The capital cost of each equipment within the process was calculated using CAPCOST. Furthermore, the economics of the process was studied. It was found that the studied process had a discounted payback period of 4.2 years and generated an annual revenue of $121 million.
