RateRefFlows_FUTab.jpg

This tab is part of the Rate Reference Flows Dialog and can be accessed by selecting Tasks } Rate Reference Flows from the main menu of the application.

From this tab you may specify the unit reference stream used for reporting the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the process. The total amount of CO2eq produced by the process is divided by the flow defined on this tab to produce the GWP potential. The total amount of CO2eq is summed up from different input and output sources to the process (see Report Options Dialog: Global Warming Potential Tab).
You can choose any input, output or intermediate stream and furthermore, you can choose to use the entire stream’s flow or the flow of just one its components.
