Co-Products
Co-Products are resources which are secondary products created alongside the main output which can be accounted for in the production of that resource. CoProducts can be added to a stationary process from the stationary process editor either by selecting a resource which is not in an input group and right clicking the "Set As Co-Product" option or by clicking the Add/Edit Co-Products button.
Adding Co-Products
To add a Co-Product to an existing stationary process go to the data editor and select "Modify Existing Process" or "Add Stationary Process" to add a new process with co-products. In the stationary process editor click on the Add/Edit Co-Products and a new window will open for modifying the co-products. To add a new co-product click on the "+ Add" tab at the top of the window. A new co-product tab will be created and the parameters for the new Co-Product will be displayed. The co-product will not be added until the Save or "Save and Close" button is clicked.
Editing Existing Co-Products
To edit a Co-Product that has already been added to a process click the Add/Edit Co-Products button and select the tab at the top of the window which contains the desired co-product resource. From there the parameters and method to use for calculating co-product credits can be selected. See the full user guide under co-products for more information on co-product methods.
Removing a Co-Product
To remove a Co-Product from a process select the Add/Edit Co-Products button and navigate to the tab matching the desired resource to remove. Click the red "X" icon to delete the co-product and then hit Save or "Save and Close" to save the changes.
Co-Product Editor in GUI
Co-Product editor can be used to add and/or edit Co-Products for the process. The editor can be accessed either through Data Editor page or by right clicking on a process in the Well to Pump Setup page and selecting Edit Process Parameters.
Only the existing co-products are shown in the co-product editor. To add a new Co-product, click "Add a Co-Product" in the window. New Co-product is shown in the window as shown in the picture.
Select the Co-product material from the dropdown list which will enable other fields like the amount, share and check boxes to select the available type of treatments for the co-product.
Selecting the "Default Treatment Method" will make use of that treatment method for the calculations in the application.
If "Allocation" treatment method is checked, the allocation type can be selected for the co-product. The available allocation type are given depending upon the characteristics of the co-product material selected.
if "Displacement" treatment method is checked, the Displacement material, Purpose, Mix and Displacement ratio can be selected in the same order. Few of the options can be unavailable depending upon the characteristics of the co-product displacement material selected. Any number of displacement materials can be added along with the specific fields for that displacement material.
