It can... you just have to figure out the "goes ins" and "comes outs" of the process and see if you can sell your product for enough ($/gal) to make a profit.
Just drunkenly thinking: - Goes In: energy to fire the column (reboiler) - Goes In: water (or other) to cool the top products - Goes In: stock gasoline you buy - Comes Out: Refined top products (the stuff you want to sell I think) - Comes Out: Waste (the shit you just stripped out... who do you pay to take it away?)
can probably parse this more coherently and with things I am missing.
