The Optimum Reflux Ratio (R 0) is that at which the total cost of the distillation is a minimum, taking into account the capital cost of the column (which depends on the number of theoretical plates) and running cost, which depends on the reflux ratio.ithin the 40 to 140 molecular weight range, distillation is used. In 1992, Darton estimated the world-wide throughput of distillation columns as Oil Refining, 5 billion tonnes per year and petrochemicals, 130 million tonnes per year.
