Method for configuring a production plant designed for performing at least one chemical reaction

A method for configuring a production plant designed for performing at least one chemical reaction, the production plant having at least one plant module,

• comprising:
• a) selecting the at least one plant module from a module database running on a first server system, wherein a) comprises:
• a.1) manually inputting a first set of process-specific technical requirements imposed on the plant module to a query mask of the module database and confirming the inputting;
• a.2) comparing the first set of process-specific technical requirements with at least one technical parameter of a multiplicity of plant modules on the first server system, wherein the at least one technical parameter is stored in the module database and defines a process-specific property of a respective plant module,
• a.3) in the event of a negative result, wherein a negative result comprises a determination that the process-specific property of the respective plant module does not comply with the first set of process-specific technical requirements:
• a.3.i) identifying at least one plant module, the process-specific property of which does not comply with the process-specific technical requirements, in an output mask of the module database;
• and
• a.3.ii) identifying at least one part component of the identified plant module from a.3.i) which does not comply with the requirements imposed on the plant module;
• or identifying the at least one technical parameter of a series component of the part component of the identified plant module from a.3.i) which does not comply with the requirements imposed on the plant module;
• or identifying both at least one part component of the identified plant module and the at least one technical parameter of the series component of the identified plant module from a.3.i);
• or
• b) compiling the at least one plant module from a component database running on a second server system, wherein b) comprises:
• b.1) manually, automatically, or manually and automatically inputting a second set of process-specific technical requirements for a technical parameter of a series component to a query mask of the component database;
• b.2) comparing the second set of process-specific technical requirements with at least one technical parameter of a multiplicity of series components, wherein the at least one technical parameter is stored in the component database and defines a process-specific property of a respective series component;
• b.3) in the event of a positive result, wherein a positive result comprises a determination that the process-specific property of the identified plant module complies with the second set of process-specific technical requirements:
• b.3.i) identifying at least one series component of a part component, which complies with the process-specific technical requirements, in an output mask of the component database and compiling the output plant module with the output series component;
• or
• c) selecting the at least one plant module from the module database running on the first server system and compiling the at least one plant module from the component database running on the second server system,
• wherein c) comprises:
• c.1) manually inputting a first set of process-specific technical requirements imposed on the plant module to a query mask of the module database and confirming the inputting;
• c.2) comparing the first set of process-specific technical requirements with at least one technical parameter of a multiplicity of plant modules on the first server system, wherein the at least one technical parameter is stored in the module database and defines a process-specific property of a respective plant module,
• c.3) in the event of a negative result, wherein a negative result comprises a determination that the process-specific property of the respective plant module does not comply with the first set of process-specific technical requirements:
• c.3.i) identifying at least one plant module, the process-specific property of which does not comply with the process-specific technical requirements, in an output mask of the module database;
• and
• c.3.ii) identifying at least one part component of the identified plant module from c.3.i) which does not comply with the requirements imposed on the plant module;
• or identifying a technical parameter of a series component of the part component of the identified plant module from c.3.i) which does not comply with the requirements imposed on the plant module;
• or identifying both at least one part component of the identified plant module and the technical parameter of the series component of the identified plant module from c.3.i);
• c.3.iii) manually, automatically, or manually and automatically inputting a second set of process-specific technical requirements for the identified part component from c.3.ii) to a query mask of the component database;
• c.3.iv) comparing the second set of process-specific technical requirements with at least one technical parameter of a multiplicity of series components, wherein the at least one technical parameter is stored in the component database and defines a process-specific property of a respective series component;
• c.3.v) in the event of a positive result after c.3.iv), wherein a positive result comprises a determination that the process-specific property of the identified plant module complies with the second set of process-specific technical requirements, identifying at least one series component of a part component, which complies with the process-specific technical requirements, in an output mask of the component database and compiling the output plant module with the output series component.
