Abstract
Abstract The synthesis of multicomponent distillation column sequences is complex due to the numerous possible scenarios. Therefore, employing a systematic and automated approach can be highly advantageous. This study analyzes and evaluates both simple and complex distillation column sequences suitable for the cold end of olefin plants to enhance olefin's production performance. A matrix‐based algorithm is used to generate possible configurations, which are then rigorously simulated and optimized using genetic algorithm. These steps are executed systematically and automatically within an integrated development environment. Sequences are evaluated based on energy consumption, exergy losses, and economic aspects. The impact of the hydrogenation reactor's location on distillation sequence performance is also examined. In the two case studies, the symmetrical sequence demonstrated the best economic performance, achieving a total annual cost (TAC) 11.21% lower than that of conventional sequences for the given feed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
