Consider the idealized scheme shown below in which 100.0 mol/min of a reactive species A is fed to the process along with 20.0 mol/min of inserts. That stream is mixed with a recycle stream and fed to a reactor in which the single-pass conversion of A to P according to the reaction 1A-3P is 0.050 (that is, 1 molecule of A produces 3 of P). The reactor products are fed to a separator in which all of the P is removed and sent to a product stream as pure P. The other output of the separator consists solely of A and inserts; it is split into a recycle stream that feeds the mixer and a purge stream that is further processed elsewhere. The overall conversion of A in the process is 0.90.
