Based upon the nominal design of a divided wall column, one obtains the minimum energy usage to achieve the desired separation. During operation, when the column is actually run, the vapor split ratio Rv is found to be non-optimal. For this and other reasons, it is likely that available energy is actually lower than the energy required for the separation of three products. The ...
