I need to simulate a 5 different distillation tower with the following specs.

Does
anyone know how can I specify this inside the monitor tab of the Aspen Hysys
Simulation?

#1
The recovery of C2 in the column bottoms NGL stream is
set at 80%. This is achieved by varying the exit temperature
from the externally cooled heat exchanger. Lower
temperatures increase C2 recovery but increase refrigeration
duty.
(2) The composition of the bottoms stream is specified to
produce a ratio of C1 to the sum of C1 and C2 of 0.02.
Thus the bottoms composition on a C3-and-heavier-free
basis is 2 mol % C1.
(3) The column has 31 stages with four feed streams fed on
different stages where stream and stage C1 compositions
are similar.
(4) The two side reboilers have liquid pump-around flow rates
of 2000 kmol/h and are located at stages 24 and 28.
(5) The pressure at the top of the column is 25 atm, and the
stage pressure drop is 0.01 atm per tray.

#2
The design specifications are 1 mol % C3 in the distillate and 0.34 mol
% C2 in the bottoms. The required reflux ratio is 1.258. The
purity of the ethane product D2 is 97.06 mol %. Column
diameter is 1.23 m.

#3
The design specifications are 0.6 mol % C4 (sum of iC4 and
nC4) in the distillate and 0.1 mol % C3 in the bottoms. The
required reflux ratio is 2.114, and the reboiler duty is 1.656 MW
of low-pressure steam. Column diameter is 0.97 m.

#4
The design specifications are 0.2 mol%iC5 in the distillate and
0.2 mol % nC4 in the bottoms. The required reflux ratio is 2.20,
and the reboiler duty is 1.02MWof low-pressure steam. Column
diameter is 0.845 m.

#5
The design specifications are 2 mol % nC4 in the distillate and
2 mol%iC4 in the bottoms. A high reflux ratio of 7.94 is required.
Reboiler duty is 1.62 MW of low-pressure steam. Column
diameter is 0.990 m.
