Abstract
Distillation networks are described as sets of composition nodes which are used to estimate material and energy balances. Comparisons with equialent, equilibrium stage models indicate that these simplified design methods consistently result in small, but acceptable, overdesign, even when applied to complex, thermally coupled tower configurations.Keywords
