Alcohol-to-jet, carbon conserved at every step
Bio-ethanol dehydrated to ethylene, oligomerized toward the jet carbon-number range and hydrogenated to a real synthetic paraffin.
The actual dark-mode canvas: ethanol dehydrated to ethylene, the water knocked out, the olefin grown to the decene range and saturated with hydrogen, then fractionated to a jet-range paraffin.
Carbon is conserved across all three steps
Each step closes its own atom balance, so the ethanol-to-jet carbon yield is a solved number rather than an assumed one. Scope note: all three reactions are stoichiometric conversion models — this solver ships no ethanol-dehydration or oligomerization kinetics, and inventing a rate law here would fabricate the data that decides the answer.

A specified per-pass conversion on a key component — the shortcut counterpart to the equilibrium and kinetic reactors.
Single-stage vapor-liquid equilibrium split at a fixed temperature/pressure.
Combines multiple streams into one, closing the mass and energy balance.
Stream dehydration and oligomerization reactor temperatures plus the fractionator cut point from the unit's OPC-UA server into this flowsheet's twin comparison — a conversion drifting off the solved balance shows up before the jet cut goes off-spec.
