Abstract
The multiplicity of states in binary distillation is analyzed by rigorous application of the singularity theory. The mass reflux flow rate is considered as bifurcation parameter and the codimension-2 varieties that divide the feed composition-boilup parameter space into regions where different types of bifurcation diagrams exist are computed. The effect of physical and design parameters on the location and extent of the multiplicity regions was examined.
