Abstract
A method for a processing system involves identifying at least one specific functionality of the processing plant, creating at least one design elements, each design element being associated with a specific functionality of the processing plant, and storing each design element as an item in a design element database, wherein each design element item comprises one or more attributes defining the relationship between the particular design element and other design elements.
Claims11
A method for a processing plant, comprising:
- identifying at least one specific functionality of the processing plant,
- creating at least one design element, each design element being associated with a specific functionality of the processing plant, and
- storing each design element as an item in a design element database, wherein each design element item comprises one or more attributes defining the relationship between the particular design element and other design elements.
A method for designing a processing plant, comprising:
- identifying at least one required functionality of the processing plant,
- associating said at least one functionality with at least one design element item from a design element database, wherein each design element item comprises one or more attributes defining the relationship between the particular design element and other design elements, and
- adding said at least one design element to a processing platform representation.
A method for redesigning a processing plant, comprising:
- receiving an existing processing platform representation for the existing processing plant, said processing platform representation comprising at least one design element;
- identifying at least one change of functionality of the existing processing plant,
- associating said change of functionality with at least one corresponding design element item from a design element database, wherein each design element item comprises one or more attributes defining the relationship between the particular design element and other design elements, and adding or removing said at least one design element from the existing processing platform representation.
