Abstract
This paper proposes a novel extractive dividing wall distillation column, which has been designed using a constrained stochastic multiobjective optimization technique. The approach is based on the use of genetic algorithms to determine the design that minimizes energy consumption and total annualized cost. Several case studies are used to show the feasibility of performing extractive separations in dividing wall distillation columns. The simulation results show the effect of the main variables on the complex extractive distillation process.
