Troubleshooting Aspen Plus Simulation for Ethylbenzene Dehydrogenation

The ethylbenzene dehydrogenation section in an Aspen Plus simulation for clean styrene production shows inconsistent behavior. When simulated alone, the reactor section works reasonably, but after integration into the full flowsheet, the first reactor shows almost complete conversion of ethylbenzene, which is not expected.
