Two absorption stages in series with intercooling between them (removing the heat of absorption, which otherwise raises K-values and hurts recovery) to maximize LPG recovery, 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.
