A novel design method for a multi-component distillation system based on the quasi-binary model is presented. The quasi-binary method, which converts the multi-component system to a quasi-binary system, could simplify the design process of multi-component distillation. Subsequently the software integration method is introduced to the distillation design and an automatic calculation program is developed by using Visual C++ language. The design of multi-component distillation, in which the minimum reflux ratio Rmin or liquid-vapor ratio (L/V)min and the minimum numbers of stage Nmin is determined easily and quickly, is automatically performed by the technology of software integration. Three examples are solved to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented method for the multi-component distillation.
