A three-cut column with a side draw producing a deliberately 'sloppy' (off-spec, cheaper-to-make) butane cut between a propane overhead and a pentane-plus bottoms, from Chapter 13 of Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook.

The flowsheet

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.
