Operating Mode

Continuous or Semi-Continuous

Host Equipment

Mixer (for Mixture Prep)

Emissions Port (Vent)

No

Special Input/Output Ports

No

 

 

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).

Special Inputs / Outputs

None.

Operations

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.
