APEA Templates set Operating Costs
Electric utility from
simulation case will take
precedence.
7
APEA Templates set Design Parameters
Location,
Process type,
Design Codes
Default sizes,
factors, and
rules of thumb
8
APEA Templates set Default Process Utility
Specifications
Process utilities
defined in the
simulation case
are added
9
APEA Templates set Default Unit Operation
to Equipment Mappings
Map Unit Operation 1-to-1 or 1-to-many
Multiple configurations exist for towers

Integrate custom sizing into workflow
Use stream data to size components
Size reactors or extractors
Incorporate company specific sizing rules
13
Custom Model Tool: Input
Input tab displays data
imported from simulation
Stream data imported
for equipment item

Custom Rules tab displays details of custom sizing algorithm
16
Custom Model Tool: Custom Rules (cont.)
Custom Rules tab displays details of custom sizing algorithm
17
Custom Model Tool: Results
Output tab displays resulting
design data to be exported back
to equipment form

ACCE Templates
Create complete specifications for Project Estimate
Discipline Leads input for Design Basis and Customer Files
Template file can be shared by Project Teams whether in
same company or between companies (Megaprojects)
More extensive than previous Standard Basis files
Examples are on following four slides

5. APEA Should be Aware of Following Limitations
Changing and Applying General Specs forms will Overwrite the
following created by ACCE:
Contractor (ALL)
Power Distribution and Process Control
Design Code and Civil Specs
Design Allowance, Rotating Equipment Spares and Contingency
