Heat-integrated sharp distillation sequences

Remark 5 Another application of the logarithmic transformation for convexification is presented in Floudas and Paules (1988) for the synthesis of heat-integrated sharp distillation sequences. 

Synthesis of Heat-integrated Sharp Distillation Sequences... 

This chapter presents two applications of MINLP methods in the area of separations. Section 9.1 provides an overall introduction to the synthesis of separation systems. Section 9.2 focuses on sharp heat-integrated distillation sequencing. Section 9.3 presents an application of nonsharp separation synthesis.
