A refinery catalytic-reformer stream (benzene/toluene/o-xylene plus a non-aromatic n-heptane proxy) is split into three purified aromatics cuts by a single thermally-coupled dividing-wall column instead of two ordinary columns in series — the same DWC economics as the BTX example, applied to a genuine reformate splitter duty.

The stream table

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