In fig. 1, the upper and lower knifing-free short-path flash evaporation devices respectively adopt different distillation process parameters, so that the aim of continuously distilling and separating multiple components can be fulfilled.

Assuming that liquid organic compounds comprising three different components are required to be separated by distillation, the material to be distilled is fed through a material inlet a1-1 of a knifiess short-path flash device A1, and flash distillation is carried out by controlling certain process operation parameters (temperature, flow, vacuum degree and the like).

In the combination of three units in series and parallel, a non-knifing short-distance flash evaporation device in the first-stage flash evaporation separation unit adopts a distillation process parameter and corresponds to the working condition that the ratio of low-boiling point components in the material to be distilled is small by using small flow; two non-wiped film short-distance flash devices in the second-stage flash separation unit are respectively connected in series with one non-wiped film short-distance flash device in the previous-stage flash separation unit, and the two non-wiped film short-distance flash devices in the second-stage flash separation unit work in parallel, so that the working condition that the high-boiling-point component content in the material to be distilled is large is met by large flow. The aim of separating multiple components by continuous distillation can be achieved.
