A synthesis method for ternary distillation process structures is proposed on the basis of the infinite‐dimensional state‐space (IDEAS) approach. The proposed synthesis procedure consists of two steps. At the first step, the utility cost is minimized. The result of the first step contains many tiny flows among the modules because the number of flows is not included in the objective function. Then, at the second step, an evolutionary procedure for process simplification is executed. In this step, the weighted sum of flow rates is minimized recursively while updating the weights at each iteration. The practical process structure is finally determined from the result of the second simplification step. The developed synthesis procedure was applied to the separation problem of a ternary mixture consisting of benzene, toluene, and o‐xylene. It demonstrated that the proposed procedure provides a process whose liquid composition profile is quite similar to that of a Petlyuk column. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical EngineersAIChE J, 64: 1285–1294, 2018
