In this paper, the advantage of a batch plant which enabled multiple operations to be carried out in the same unit (multi-purpose equipment) was considered. The same example calculation for a process which was planned to produce a specialty chemical, as in Part I, was used to compare the net present worth of continuous and batch operation modes after including multi-purpose equipment. Batch process with multi-purpose equipment was more profitable than a batch process with single-purpose equipment and even more profitable than a continuous one for the capacities 1300 t/yr and lower in our case study. The results of energy integration are given, too.
