Rigorous optimization is a valuable tool that can support the engineer to tap the full economic potential of a distillation process. Unfortunately, the solution of these large-scale discrete-continuous optimization problems usually suffers from a lack of robustness, long computational times, and a low reliability toward good local optima. In this paper, the rigorous optimization of complex distillation processes for azeotropic multicomponent mixtures is achieved with outstanding robustness, reliability, and efficiency through progress on two levels. First, the integration within a process synthesis framework allows a reduction of the complexity of the optimization superstructure and provides an excellent initialization by shortcut evaluation with the rectification body method. Second, the reformulation as a purely continuous optimization problem enables a solution with reliable and efficient NLP solvers. Moreover, the continuous reformulation considers a particular tight column model formulation such that...
