Main reaction
C8H10   +  3 O2    →  C8H4O3  +  3 H2O     ∆H = -1108,7 kJ/mol

Burning
C8H10  +  7 O2 →  3 CO2   + CO + 4 H2O     ∆H = -4380 kJ/mol

Due to released reaction heat the awailable technology result as energeticaly self sustaining and energy exporters.

Side reactions are forming by-products in very small amounts (less than 6%):
Maleic Anhydride, O-toluic aldehide, Phthalide, Benzoic Acid,Citrconic acid

The reaction takes place on catalyst – basically  Vanadium/Titanium type.

Typical temperatures of reaction are between :

• Reactor (Salt) temperature:     350 - 400°C.
• Catalyst temperature (Hot Spot):     390 - 440°C
