The structural and parametric optimization of hybrid RD-PV system is studied and the superstructure problem is modeled and optimized using MINLP formulation. The application is illustrated by the synthesis of tert-amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) from ethanol and tert-amyl alcohol (TAA). The proposed hybrid system effectively removes the water from the system that results in increase in conversion of TAA and enhances the selectivity towards TAEE product. The hybrid RD-PV offers economically attractive alternatives due to simple process structure and better performance. The results were validated by independent simulation.
