What are Technologies
Technologies are sub-processes that allow a process to produce its output. For example, in the processing of natural gas boilers, turbines, and engines must be used. These are referred to as "technologies". Technologies use fuel and contribute to the emissions and energy of a process. They can be edited through the technology editor. They can be seen in "Well to Pump Setup" as shown on the right.
Editing/Adding Technologies
The most direct way to add a technology is to press "Data Editor", "Technologies", and "Add Technology". After doing so a window will pop up allowing you to choose a fuel type. Each technology belongs to a fuel. For example a boiler is a technology that belongs to Natural Gas. By this we mean that Natural Gas can be used in a boiler when modeling different processes. This is why the first step in creating a technology is choosing its associated fuel.
