A linear approximation of the modified van der Waals-Storonkin equation is
obtained, and the properties of the operators appearing in the approximate
equation for multiphase multicomponent systems are studied. Generality of t
he structure of the operators is demonstrated, which is determined by an in
variant of a phase-separation region. Distillation-trajectory regions aroun
d saddle heteroazeotropes are explored.
