what is the field " Consumption based calculations " in EC 3.0

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the consumptions tab page of a facility, what is the importance of the field " Consumption based calculations ". Please explain step by step procedure to make use of it instead of providing links

Thanks in advance

Hello Srinivasa,

Consumptions are time dependent consumption information for a facility object like coal consumption.

Consumption based calculation is used to calculate Emissions quantities based on amount of materials consumed.

Consumption based calculations are defined in calculation manater and are assigned in tab Consumption material.

For simple example without any major parameters emissions if you want to calculate sulfur dioxide emissions =

Sulfur dioxide) in defined unit = Consumptions * EF

If you want to enter detailed equations taking into consideration facility parameters like temperature, control efficiency then you consumption based quations includes all such parameters

The field you are referrring here - "consumption based calculation" - is automatically populated, based on material - consumption based equation assignment in tab Consumption materials.

Thanks
