The procedure used was to disconnect the blocks at the four Disconnect Points shown. Then Block 1 was solved and Point 1 was connected between Blocks 1 and 3. When Blocks 1 and 3 solved, Point 2 was connected and then Blocks 1, 3, 5 and 7 were solved. Point 3 was connected and Blocks 1, 3 , 5 and 7 were solved with the one recycle stream to Block 1. Lastly, Point 4 was connected and the four blocks were solved with the second recycle stream to Block 5. As you can surmise, any change requires that the entire tedious procedure be repeated.
This is a very time consuming procedure to use. I hope that you can suggest one or more faster methods for the solution of this flow sheet. Flow Sheet Options settings, special Unit Operations, and/or other methods are solicited.
