METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A MATERIAL FLOW DIAGRAM FOR AN INDUSTRIAL PLANT

摘要

A method of generating a material flow diagram for an industrial plant. The method comprises creating at least one data set from at least one graphics file representing at least a portion of the industrial plant; extracting data from the at least one data set to obtain material-specific data for each of a plurality of distinct materials flowing in the industrial plant; and illustrating the material-specific data of a selected at least one of the plurality of distinct materials as a material flow diagram.
