Output multiplicities in heterogeneous azeotropic distillation columns were studied. The accuracy of the thermodynamic description is a key factor that determines if multiplicities can be observed in numerical simulations. The descriptions used in the multiplicity-related literature are analyzed. The {infinity}/{infinity} analysis of Bekiaris et al. (1996) was used to check implications of inaccuracies in the reported thermodynamics on the existence of multiplicities in azeotropic distillation. On this basis, guidelines are derived concerning what features of thermodynamic descriptions need special attention for use in multiplicity prediction and simulation. secondly, numerical studies on output multiplicities in heterogeneous azeotropic distillation in the literature were compared to the {infinity}/{infinity} predictions wherever possible. The {infinity}/{infinity} analysis was used to derive the relations between the reported multiplicities and to identify the physical phenomena causing them.
