Method to configure a system for chemical separation

A method performed by a configuration system operable to configure a chemical separation system for execution of one or more chemical separation processes, the method comprising:

• receiving system hardware configuration data from the configuration system, wherein the system hardware configuration data is at least indicative of fluid manipulation modules of the chemical separation system, desired functionality of the fluid manipulation modules, and a fluid network comprising fluid couplers configured to fluidly couple the fluid manipulation modules,
• identifying a first set of function blocks to provide the indicated fluid manipulation modules with the desired functionality,
• generating a second set of function blocks by purging a third set of function blocks from the first set of function blocks to eliminate dead code using the configuration data, and
• sending the second set of function blocks to the chemical separation system,
• wherein the configuration system comprises a processing circuitry and a memory comprising instructions executable by said processing system, and
• wherein the configuration system is communicatively coupled to the fluid manipulation modules via the processing circuitry to provide the fluid manipulation modules with the desired functionality from the configuration system for execution of one or more chemical separation processes, via the chemical separation system.
