Schematic representation of the generic lumped reactive distillation volume element GLRDVE

for any GLRDVE the set of involved expressions is given with respect to mathematical structure by. 

The assumed extents of reaction at level 1 (input-output) define the targeted conversion for the various species. At the inner level (task level) the cumulative effect of all local conversions should match the targets at the outer level, whenever physically feasible. This constraining information might be expressed as follows (Melles et al, 2000), 

The multilevel modeling approach is applied to the synthesis of MTBE at 11-10 Pa in a staged RD column loaded with solid catalyst. A detailed description of the system can
