Could you please tell me the difference between an ethane removal tower and a butane removal tower? I’m begging for help from experts

The teacher asked why the deethanization tower is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, while the debutaneation tower has the same size throughout. Waiting online right now; it’s very urgent. Please help!
You can calculate it based on the separated components, and by knowing the gas-liquid distribution on each tray, you’ll understand why.
Study hard*, it’s shameful to ask questions casually.
Talking too much to those who are not familiar with tray design can actually confuse them. Simply put, the load at the top of the tower is significantly reduced. Towers that require high precision in terms of component composition are generally designed with a narrower section at the top and a wider section at the bottom, while those for which the quality of the product at the top is not a priority can still have equal diameters throughout the tower. After all, the manufacturing costs and construction expenses of the equipment must also be taken into consideration.
Find a book on principles of chemical engineering and distillation, and study it carefully.
