This procedure can simulate an intelligent mixer that automatically will adjust the (bulk) flow of its input streams (up to 5) in order to meet a user-specification describing the output composition and flow. Note that the unit operation handling the intelligent mixing (“Mixture Making”) can also handle back-propagation requests for amount (i.e. it can have the amount of the output stream be dictated by downstream demands).
None.
The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:
● Mixture Prep, see Mixture Preparation
● CIP, see Clean-In-Place (CIP)
● Hold, see Holding
SIP, see Steam-In-Place (SIP)
Note that operations CIP, Hold, and SIP are only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
