Abstract
A shortcut design method for the separation of nonideal zeotropic and azeotropic mixtures in complex column sequences with and without energy integration is presented. It is based on the decomposition of the process into sequences of simple columns. The minimum energy demand of each column is determined using the rectification body method (RBM). Application of the design method allows rapid screening of the energy-efficiency of different process alternatives by ranking their overall energy demand, exergy consumption or utility cost. The method is illustrated with a nonideal zeotropic and an azeotropic separation example.
