Add mixers and splitters

Mixers blend product streams together. They are assumed to mix perfectly. To add a mixer, click the Add Mixer button .

Enter the name for the mixer and choose the input process unit for each of the streams used to feed the mixer. If the process unit used as a feeder has more than one output choose the stream used to feed the mixer using the Input Stream menu.

Splitters divide the flow of a stream. When configuring the splitter, you must enter the number of outputs from the splitter, and the split ratio between the different outlets.

To add a splitter, click the Add Splitter button .

Enter the name of the Splitter unit, and using the Input Unit menu, select the process unit used to feed the splitter. If the process unit used as a feeder has more than one output use the Feed Stream menu to select the stream from the feeder unit used as source for the splitter.

Also enter names for the output streams from the splitter in the Output Name textboxes.

For each splitter output stream, enter the fraction of the input which is split into the stream. The fraction should be entered as a decimal, and the total of the individual streams fractions should sum to 1.
