View & openPerry Ch.13 Example 4: sloppy-butane three-cut splitter
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.

View & openPerry Ch.13 Example 5: two-step absorber with intercooling
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.

View & openPerry Ch.13 Example 6: reboiled light-ends stripper
A reboiled stripper removing dissolved light gases (nitrogen, methane through propane) from a heavier liquid, using reboil vapor as the stripping gas, from Chapter 13 of Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook.

View & openAromatics column (Strigle)
A simple aromatics splitter recovering benzene overhead from a toluene/xylene-heavy feed, as described by R. Strigle (Gulf Publishing, 1987) — a classic packed-column textbook design case.

View & openIndustrial i-butane/n-butane splitter
A close-boiling isobutane/n-butane splitter as reported by Klemola and Ilme (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 1996, 35, 4579) — the relative volatility between the two isomers is small (~1.3), so the column needs many stages and a high reflux ratio for a sharp split, unlike the wider-boiling LPG splits elsewhere in this library.
