Simulate the fractionation process of a heterogeneous mixture of Paraffin’s into Light and Heavy fractions by using multicomponent fractionation. It is required to separate a mixture of five paraffin’s into light and heavy fraction by using a distillation column with 15 trays, a full reflux condenser and a kettle reboiler. The feed stream (1000 lbmol/hr) consists of 4% (mol %) ethane, 20% propane, 36% n-butane,35% n-pentane and 5% n-hexane at 268 °F and 278 psia which enters the column on the sixth tray counting from the top. The condenser and reboiler pressures are 248 and 252 psia respectively. The preliminary design specifications require a reflux ratio of 6.06 and a vapor overhead product of 226 lbmol/hr. On completion of simulation of the system.
