Twenty two distillation flowsheets are studied for the separation of five-component mixtures based on energy consumption and annual costs.Fourteen flowsheets with simple columns and eight flowsheets with complex columns of side strippers and/or side rectifiers are included. Several five-component mixtures are selected
and for various cases of feed composition distribution
the costs of the flowsheets are calculated and compared.Several heuristics are produced for the synthesis of distillation flowsheets with complex columns.
