Existing Plant Description
If “Evaluate Existing Plant” or “Retrofit Plant to Upcore™” options are selected during the description of the Modeling Objective (see The Modeling Objective), an eighth button called Existing Plant Description will be added to the left-hand navigation area (see Figure 1).
The Existing Plant Description Window allows the user to specify the following parameters (as shown in Figure 1):
- Resin Volumes
- Vessel Diameter
- Inert Bed Height (only available for some Regeneration Systems)
- Vessel Cylindrical Height
- Vessel Wall Thickness
- Resin Packaging Size
Notes:
- At the bottom of the Existing Plant Description window, only the option “Use Vessel Geometry and Resin Volume values” is available.
- If the Vessel Height input is inconsistent with the Resin Volume and Vessel Diameter inputs, WAVE will issue a warning indicating the minimum required Vessel Height, as shown in Figure 2.
