✦ Synopsis
The multivessel batch column consists of a reboiler, several column sections, intermediate vessels and a condenser vessel. This configuration provides a generalization of previously proposed batch-distillation schemes, including the inverted column and the middle-vessel column. The total reflux operation of the multivessel batch-distillation column was presented recently, and the main contribution of this article is to propose a simple feedback control strategy for its operation. We propose to adjust the vessel holdups indirectly by manipulating the reflux flow out of each vessel to control the temperature at some location in the column section below. The feasibility of this strategy is demonstrated by simulations.

## Abstract The multivessel system is a novel batch distillation configuration that offers improved separation performance compared to the conventional single‐column batch rectifier. The optimal design of this system based on an economics performance index is solved for the first time here by adopt

We have developed a simple model which explains the behavior of azeotropie batch distillations. The model is in agreement with known experimental results and explains features of the distillation process which have previously been considered anomalous. The model can be used to design hatch distillat
