Given that the feed to column C3 in the distillation operation in the figure and table below is to produce a distillate that is 95mol% pure in iC 4 with a recovery in the distillate yielding a split fraction (SF) of 96%. There exists a relatively sharp separation in column C3 between iC4 and nC4, and it is assumed that all the propane gooes to the distillate, while all the C5s goes to the bottoms.
