contents In this paper, we investigate the influence of multiplicities in activity coefficients on batch distillation processes. In order to do so, we develop a rigorous simulation of batch distillation processes based on the MESH equations. In particular, we propose a novel index reduction method to transform the original index-$2$ system into a well-posed differential-algebraic system of index $1$. With the help of this simulation, we then explore whether the alternative NRTL parameters, which yield indistinguishable activity coefficients and VLE diagrams when compared to the reference data, can produce distinguishable profiles in dynamic simulations. As it turns out, this can happen in general and we explain the reasons behind the dynamic distinguishability.
