A reduced-order collocation method is applied to the optimal design of distillation columns. The resulting number of equations is determined by the user and is independent of the numbers of stages in the column sections. The collocation method furthermore permits these stage numbers to be treated as
## Abstract A novel method for the globally optimal solution of the general process network synthesis problem is first presented and then applied to the solution of the minimum utility cost (MUC) problem for mass exchange networks (MEN) with multicomponent targets (MT). Previous approaches that add
