- 5 The Last Step In Refining Natural Gas Is Removing Butane From Heavier Molecules Like Pentane In The Product Stream Vi 1 (42.4 KiB) Viewed 35 times
5. The last step in refining natural gas is removing butane from heavier molecules like pentane in the product stream via fractional distillation apparatus called a debutanizer. Butane has a boiling point of 0 °C and Pentane has a 36 °C. The debutanizer is fed a 1000 mol/hr stream of 25 °C 33% butane solution and produces a 10 °C vapor stream of 95% butane and a 30 °C liquid product stream of 98% pentane. If the condenser operates with an R-2, and the butane distillate leaves at -10 °C, and the system is cooled by air entering at -20 °C and leaving at 5 °C, what is the flow rate of air needed to cool this system?
