Receipts and shipments

Receipts and Shipment objects will have either an input or an output stream, but not both. For instance, a receipt object will have an output stream that flows into the rest of the plant. The material arriving at the plant (say, by pipeline or truck) is not shown as an input. Instead, the Receipt object is treated as the source of the arriving material.

Aside from a name and description neither Receipts nor Shipments have properties. For instance, in the case of a Receipt, the measurement value indicating how much material arrived belongs to the Stream object leading from the Receipt, not to the Receipt object itself.

Because Receipt and Shipment objects do not have both in and out streams, no balance envelope exists around them.

The following procedure describes how to add a receipt/shipment object to the flowsheet:

1. Select the Receipt/Shipment tool from the Drawing Toolbar.

2. Click the left mouse button and hold it down on the canvas area of the Drawing Window, at the point where you want one corner of the object to appear. Drag until the shape has the desired size and orientation, then release the mouse button.
