Column Types
10 MMscfd of gas with below composition at 150 psig and 150 degF will
be separated using distillation column. C2H6 as light key component and
C3H8 as heavy key component. It is desired that maximum C2H6 in the
bottom product is 0.001 and C3H8 in the distillate is 0.0005.
Condenser and reboiler pressure is 145 psig and 155 psig, respectively.
Top product is in vapour phase and Reflux Ratio =1, determine the actual
tray used in the distillation column

4558 lb/hr of feed with below composition at 194.1 degF and 5.304 psig
will enter the distillation column at stage no. 5.
Distillation column has 10 stages and total condenser with reflux ratio of 5
Condenser and reboiler pressure are 12 psia and 20 psia respectively,
with pressure drop 3 psi and 0 psi
Bottom product is desired to have 0.995 of phenol mole fraction.
