How to fix mass balance error on RCSTR kinetic reaction in ASPEN PLUS?

There are several reasons for the mass balance issue, so you probably did not consider N or S in your reaction. You need to calculate the stoichiometry of your reaction for C, H, N, S and O and make sure they are balanced. You need also to specify your biomass as wet basis. You may also need to check the molecular weights of the representative compounds involved in the simulation and make sure that they are consistent with Aspen database.
