A system and process for continuous preparation of meta-cresol. The system may include one or more components such as a gas mixing unit, a reactor unit connected to a coiled reactor, a diazotization unit including a trickle bed reactor unit having a set of packed columns, an excess NOx removal unit, a hydrolysis reactor unit, a layer separation unit, a spent acid recovery unit, and a meta-cresol collection unit.
