The standard downstream train a hydrocracker reaction section feeds into: a high-pressure separator knocks the H2-rich recycle gas off the reactor effluent, a letdown valve drops the liquid to low pressure for a second flash (LPG-range off-gas), then a fractionator (crude_distillation, one side draw) splits what remains into light naphtha, a kerosene/diesel cut, and unconverted oil bottoms. A textbook train topology (Gary & Handwerk-style HP-sep -> letdown -> LP-sep -> fractionator), not a replication of any specific published paper's numbers — the reaction lumps/kinetics are the same illustrative n-paraffin network as the 'hydrocracker-unit' example, not a real assay.

The solved topology — every unit op's real duty, conversion, or split, read straight off a genuine converged solve.

The stream table

Every stream's flow, temperature, pressure, and composition — real converged numbers, not placeholders.
