Fischer Tropsch Distillation Column

[mawe]

Hey Guys,

I have a problem with my FT-Synthesis simulation in COCO Simulator. I modeled the Reactor quite well, but now I want to split the Carbons to Naphtha, Diesel and Wax fractions.
My Feedstream is a liquid mix with Carbons from C5 to C29 (1.5bar, 309K). Now I not able to design a Distillation Column. How do I have to configure the Unit for the seperation of Naptha? I tried like 100 ways and read a lot of literatur, but it doesnt work

Maybe someone has some advice for me?

Hi Jasper
ty for your reply. Unfortunately it doesnt help me, because I would like to seperate Naphtha only. Im a beginner and if I think about the problem, I just need to hit the Boiling point from C11, so C5-C11 can vaporize and go the top of the distillation column and condense. Afterwards I´ve got 2 Streams, C5-C11 and C12(+rest).

Why is so complicated to implement in COCO :/

Perhaps use a compound splitter?
