Load and Split

General Description

It can be used to represent operations that combine supply of materials with simultaneous removal of selected components.

Load and Split: Modeling Calculations

Material Supply (loading)

The supply of material can be done in 3 ways:

(a)   Amount of material to be loaded available in Input Stream

(b)   User specified mass of material to be loaded

(c)   User specified volume of material to be loaded

For the first case the loading of material, occurs as in the Charge or Transfer In operations depending on whether the selected stream is an input or an intermediate stream. For cases (b) and (c) the required flow of the pull-in stream is propagated backwards, through the network of connectivity.

Material Separation

Component removal can also be specified by the user. The user can chose one or two output streams to which material will be separated and specify the percentage of each component that will be split in to that stream. For more details see Load and Split: Split Tab.

Duration

If the duration of this operation is matched up to another operation (master operation), then the setup time, process time and turnaround time are simply derived from the master operation. For more on master-slave relationships, see The Scheduling Tab.
