Y19-29 – Chemical reactions

The Thermo SIG met from 2:30 pm till 4:40 pm (Central European Time).

Participants

BASF (represented by Sergej BLAGOV), AmsterCHEM (represented by Jasper van BATEN), Michel PONS (Consultant as CTO)

Agenda

Revision of the Custom Data interface specification

Highlights

During the last quarter of 2018, the Thermo Special Interest Group initiated a review of the interface specification for Custom Data that had been developed. This is a new interface specification that is especially relevant to chemical reactions. More than a dozen individuals and organizations within CO-LaN responded to the request for comments. All the comments have been gathered in a review document by CTO and the Thermo Special Interest Group has started analyzing the comments made.

This analysis has led the Thermo Special Interest Group to add a method to the interface implemented on a Custom Data Source (typically a Property Package) so that a Custom Data Container may be cleared following a change in the thermodynamic configuration of a Flowsheet. That was a demand made by several reviewers. A Use Case flow of events has been modified to take into account this new method while a change in the requirements section has also been introduced to make it consistent with the new method.

A few additional comments remained to be analyzed and the Thermo Special Interest Group will look into these off-line till the next conference call scheduled for September 17, 2019.
