The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Purdue University to develop methods, tools, and user friendly software to generate low-energy solutions for a large class of multicomponent distillation applications found in typical chemical and petrochemical plants. Project activities involve the development of computer software that would provide methods and algorithms for efficient multicomponent distillation configuration. The developed software would then be marketed for use by practicing process engineers for use to design their own distillation configurations.
