We address the synthesis of separation systems when multiple technologies are available. Since different technologies exploit different properties, we introduce a component ranking system based on those properties and use it to (1) construct matrices that identify possible separation splits and (2) generate a network-based superstructure that encompasses numerous promising configurations comprising multiple separation technologies. Each separation split is performed in a separation block representing a set of operations enabling sharp separation. The approach adopts a generalized problem statement which allows us to consider the simultaneous synthesis of separation and reactor systems. We present three examples to illustrate the applicability of the approach.

当多种技术可用时，我们会解决分离系统的综合问题。由于不同的技术利用不同的属性，我们引入了基于这些属性的组件排名系统，并使用它来（1）构建识别可能的分离分裂的矩阵，以及（2）生成基于网络的上层结构，其中包含由多种分离技术组成的许多有前途的配置。每个分离分割在代表一组能够实现锐分离的操作的分离块中执行。该方法采用广义的问题陈述，使我们能够考虑分离和反应器系统的同时综合。我们举三个例子来说明该方法的适用性。
