The columns for the Reflux, Reboiler Return, HotSteam, and CW streams apply only to the extended simulation model. The conceptual design simulation calculates the reflux and reboiler return internally and does not use utility streams.
The VLT Profile plot shows the column vapor flow, liquid flow, and temperature across the column stages.
