designing a propane-propylene splitter

(OP)
I have to design a propane-propylene splitter.  What is a typical feed temperature and pressure?  The feed mixture is 30% propane and 70% propylene.  The ovhd product purity is 99.9% and the Bottoms product purity is 99%.  Where can I get equilibrium data to create the McCabe-Thiele Diagram?

RE: designing a propane-propylene splitter

depends on tower pressure.  Are you going to use a heat pump tower at 50 psia? or a water colled at 250 psia or an air colled at 300 psia?
