Two different software implementations for a trajectory analysis methodology for distillation boundaries calculation are presented. The methodology (Lucia and Taylor, 2006), [1], is based on a line integral optimization to identify maximum length residue curves, which are the boundaries of the distillation regions. The proposed software implementations are of two types: functions based and equations oriented based.  Both implementations are applied to the study of three ternary azeotropic systems of industrial interest
