The document discusses 14 possible sequences for separating a feed containing 5 components (C3, B1, NB, B2, C5) into pure products. The sequences are evaluated based on their total costs as well as how well they follow 6 heuristics for optimal sequencing. The best sequence in terms of cost is #9, with a total cost of $760,000. The second best is #10 with a cost of $768,000. However, these sequences only partially follow the heuristics. While sequence #6 has the worst cost of $874,000, it follows the heuristics better than the lowest cost sequences. In conclusion, the lowest cost sequences are not necessarily the best when both cost and heuristics
