Abstract This paper is concerned with the optimization of multistage separation processes using the method of dynamic programming. In particular, optimal (economic) design and operating conditions are determined for binary, multistage mass transfer processes and for solid separation equipment. In the solid separation model, multicomponent feeds are considered. Examples are given in each case to illustrate the computational aspects of dynamic programming.
