Using Tag Data

For Petroleum Component Data

To input the petroleum component properties (Molecular Weight, Specific Gravity, and Normal Boiling Point) as Tag Data:

 

image\EDIT03.gif Click the Petroleum... button in the Component Selection window.

image\EDIT03.gif In the Component Selection - Petroleum Components window the Tag button on the Data Entry Window Toolbar is grayed out and inactive until you move the focus to one of the tabular fields that supports Tag Data.

image\EDIT03.gif To allocate a tag, move the highlight to the data field (Molecular Weight, Specific Gravity, or Normal Boiling Point) and then press the now activated Tag button on the Data Entry Window Toolbar. This opens the Tag Selection Window where you select the required tag.

 

For Stream Data

To input stream data for the Thermal Condition as Tag Data (Temperature, Pressure, Liquid Fraction):

 

image\EDIT03.gif Highlight a Stream Type in the Stream Data window.

image\EDIT03.gif In the Thermal Condition box, select the First Specification as either Temperature or Pressure and move to the data field.

image\EDIT03.gif Press the now activated Tag button on the Data Entry Window Toolbar. This opens the Tag Selection Window where you select the required tag.

image\EDIT03.gif Select the Second Specification and repeat above procedure. Note, however, that Tag Data is not appropriate if either Dew Point or Bubble Point is selected for the second specification.

 

The Tags are associated directly with each attribute. If you switch a field attribute in the drop-down list box, you will lose the Tag Name in the data field previously associated with it.

 

To input stream data for the Flowrate and Composition as Tag Data:

image\EDIT03.gif Highlight Composition Defined as the Stream Type and click the Flowrate and Composition... button in the Stream Data window.

image\EDIT03.gif Select the Fluid Flowrate Specification type and move to the associated data field(s).

image\EDIT03.gif Press the now activated Tag button on the Data Entry Window Toolbar. This opens the Tag Selection Window where you select the required tag.

image\EDIT03.gif Select the Second Specification and repeat above procedure. Note, however, that Tag Data is not appropriate if either Dew Point or Bubble Point is selected for the second specification.

 

The Tags are associated directly with each attribute. If you switch the Fluid Flowrate Specification type, you will lose the Tag Name in the data field(s) previously associated with it.

 

For Assay Data

To define your assay data (Distillation Curve, Gravity Curve, Lightends Curve, and Molecular Weight Curve) as Tag Data:

 

image\EDIT03.gif Highlight Petroleum Assay as the Stream Type and click the Flowrate and Assay button in the Stream Data window.

image\EDIT03.gif Click the Define/Edit Assay button in the Stream Data - Flowrate and Assay window.

image\EDIT03.gif In the Stream Data - Assay Definition window select the type of distillation data and basis to be used. The Tag button on the Data Entry Window Toolbar is grayed out and inactive until you move the focus to one of the tabular fields that supports Tag Data.

image\EDIT03.gif To allocate a tag, move the highlight to the data field (Temperature for the distillation curves) and then press the now activated Tag button on the Data Entry Window Tool bar. This opens the Tag Selection Window where you select the required tag. (see Tag Selection for more details).

image\EDIT03.gif You can enter tagged data for either the average value or curve for gravity and MW. Additionally, you may enter tagged data for assay light ends if you have selected the light ends components. Refinery Inspection Properties and Special Properties currently do not accept not tagged data.

 

For Unit Operations

Tag Data for unit operations is entered through the Define construct. To input data as a Tag with in a unit operation:

 

image\EDIT03.gif Focus on the desired data entry field and click the Define button on the toolbar of the Data Entry Window.

image\EDIT03.gif Check the Set Up Definition box and click on the appropriate Parameter linked text field.

image\EDIT03.gif Select Tag in the Constant/Stream/Unit/Tag drop-down list box in the Parameter window. This opens the Tag Selection Window where you select the required tag.
