Normally there is Advance Process Control with processes narratives that would control the column profile. In HCU there are different modes of operation depending on the production target which is driven by the catalyst type

There was a case where one of the two largest EPC companies, in the operating manual, described how to control the product specs from the main fractionator based on lab and analyzer results with a procedure that was basically flawed. We would need much more information in your case to recommend a procedure. Use your basic understanding of distillation and common sense.
