Assign Source and Destination Process Classes

A transfer requires a source process class and a destination process class. Use the Source Process Class and Destination Process Class buttons to make these assignments. It is important to use descriptive transfer names. These names are referenced in the recipe procedure editor. Therefore, it is helpful if the names describe the purpose of the transfer.

Your facility might have more than one type of connection between the same two classes of equipment. This situation is shown as a diagram in the ‘Example Plant section’ of Batch Manager Resolves Process Tags into Unit Tags. Reactors A and B are connected to their respective mix tanks directly as well as through a separator and a condenser. For all situations where two units have more than one connection between them, each connection must be assigned to a different transfer class.
