Abstract
Process synthesis can be approached from three techniques: heuristics, physical and thermodynamic insight, and mathematical programming. Hybrid methods where two or all of the synthesis methods are combined are now becoming used, taking advantage of the combined strength of the individual techniques. In this thesis the option of combining pinch analysis (a physical and thermodynamic insight-based approach) and superstructure-based programming is explored.
