Synthesis of isothermal reactor—separator—recycle systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation is presented for the synthesis of isothermal separator-recycle systems with a variety of objectives such as the minimization of the total annual cost of the plant and the maximization of its profit, as well as objectives traditionally used for optimizing the performance of a reactor network.

A statistical approach to the synthesis of separation sequences
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical approach for synthesizing distillation sequences is presented, where an enumeration and coding procedure of separation sequences is performed by using the concept of probability of improvement of the best solution obtained on a sample.
