  • The paper presents the obtaining of a batch distillation shortcut method.

  • The shortcut method considers the variable reflux policy and is based on the work of Sundaram and Evans (1993).

  • Results of the shortcut method were compared with a batch distillation rigorous method.

  • The proposed method was validated using ideal multicomponent mixtures and class I and class II type.
