This paper presents an application of wavelet-based neural networks wi
th localised and hierarchical multiresolution learning, namely wave-ne
ts. The multiresolution framework of wave-nets is briefly explained an
d a misconception in the original presentation of wave-nets is modifie
d A simple numerical example is provided, to clarify the idea. Then, w
ave-nets are employed to simplify the mechanistic model of a distillat
ion column. The capability of the wave-net model is also verified with
