Design issues interconnects

The goal of this case study is to illustrate some generic issues raised by the conceptual design of a large-scale process involving several reaction and separation sections interconnected in a complex plant with recycles. The study emphasizes the intricate effects of handling the removal of numerous impurities generated in different reactors by a common separation system, with implications on process dynamics and plantwide control.
