Material balance plays a very important role in tower distillation operations. Simply put, if the feed amount is high while the amount taken out is low, it results in an excess of light components in the bottom of the tower; this is what we refer to as material loss, and it affects the yield； If too little feed is used while too much is extracted, it results in a low concentration of the product, making it unsuitable ； In tower operations, the most straightforward manifestations of material balance are the temperature points at which material is taken out from the tower or the temperature differences; the pressure difference across the tower also reflects this.
