The authors present insight into complex column heat flow which facilitates extension of Underwood's method to columns with side-stream strippers and side-stream enrichers. This presentation is much simpler than previous ones. The same insights show that, even though less configurations are more energy efficient, they require a larger temperature range for operation than analogous simple column sequences.
