Distillation Column Flow Data Analysis

The document describes the inlet and outlet streams of a distillation column. The inlet stream (S1) contains various hydrocarbon components. The pump outlet stream (S2) has lower flows of each component after passing through the distillation column and contains a total flow of 608.6607 kmol/hr. The distillation top stream (S3) has even lower flows and contains primarily ethane and propane with a total flow of 19.37671 kmol/hr. The distillation bottom stream (S4) has similar composition to the inlet but lower total flow, indicating separation of components has occurred.
