Determination of column stage profile is crucial in the design of distillation column. Process industries are going digital and require simulation packages inbuilt for their own design. Simulators today, however, are in closed system and are not customizable with the digital applications. A fundamental algorithm provided then transcribed to the required system may solve the purpose and thus process design as per individual industrial requirements is possible. This project aims to build algorithms to generate a multicomponent distillation tray profile. Microsoft VBA platform is used to test these algorithms and generate such profiles. The Peng-Robinson equation of state is used for generating VLE Data. The project develops its own mathematical method to compute the stage balance. A Pentane-Hexane-Heptane separation scenario is taken for case study in this project and its profile is generated for analysis.
