Below is the process flow diagram for the light end distillation column for the cativa process. The feed stream has a total mass flow of 11862.21 kg/hr. It consists of carbon monoxide, methanol, Acetic acid, propionic acid, water, methyl iodide, methyl acetate and carbon monoxide. The compositions are listed on the PFD in mass fraction basis. could you plz design the light end distillation column on ASPEN HYSIS with the data provided such as the column height, diameter, number of equilibrium stages, plate efficiency, type of plate used
