System and method for excess gas utilization

A system, comprising:

• a processor, and
• a memory, accessible by the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• selecting a core logic block from a plurality of selectable logic blocks, wherein the plurality of selectable logic blocks are defined according to a process identification language that specifies one or more characteristics of respective processes associated with the plurality of selectable logic blocks;
• adding the selected core logic block to a system design, wherein the core logic block is representative of a process for converting excess gas provided by a feed logic block into a product;
• identifying an adjustment to the excess gas provided by the feed logic block, the product produced by the core logic block, or both;
• selecting a utility logic block from the plurality of selectable logic blocks to implement the adjustment to the excess gas provided by the feed logic block, the product produced by the core logic block, or both;
• adding the utility logic block to the system design;
• and
• outputting the system design.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• executing one or more automated simulation engines, wherein the one or more automated simulation engines are configured to identify one or more products that can be produced using excess gas available to a system;
• selecting, via the one or more automated simulation engines, a core logic block from a plurality of selectable logic blocks, wherein the plurality of selectable logic blocks are defined according to a process identification language that specifies one or more characteristics of respective processes associated with the plurality of selectable logic blocks;
• adding the selected core logic block to a system design, wherein the core logic block is representative of a process for converting excess gas provided by a feed logic block into a particular product of the one or more products;
• identifying an adjustment to the excess gas provided by the feed logic block, the particular product produced by the core logic block, or both;
• selecting a utility logic block from the plurality of selectable logic blocks to implement the adjustment to the excess gas provided by the feed logic block, the particular product produced by the core logic block, or both;
• adding the utility logic block to the system design;
• and
• outputting the system design.
