A mixture of saturated hydrocarbon liquid with the rate of 200 kmol/hr that is

comprised of C3 (5 %), i-C4 (15 %), n-C4 (25 %), i-C5 (20 %) and n-C5 (35 %) is fed
to a depropanizer distillation units. All the propane is expected to go to the
distillat.
1. Recommend a good operatingcondition for the unit.
2. Estimate the number of plate for the unit.
3. Esymate the size of the unit (D, L, thickness etc.)
