A Silo is used to represent an equipment resource typically used to host a vessel procedure to simulate storage of solids (grain, coal, cement, etc). The procedure can be executed in a batch or continuous mode.

The main operation carried out in this unit is the solids storing operation, although the user may include any of the available operations or the same operation multiple times in a unit procedure hosted by a Silo.
