    Thank you for building this. There are some improvements that needs to happen to make your simulation accurate. 1. The Equation of state you selected is not suitable for this type of mixture. Please change to NRTL. I looked at your distillate and bottom, it is not showing the desired product. Also, we can optimize the separation by changing the number of stages etc.

      Thank you very much sir, I'm not using the pro version of LensaSim that's why I could not access the NRTL property. And i also thought of changing the number of stages

      Yes, you will need to have the pro license to do that.
