March 28, 2017 conference call

On March 28, 2017 the UNIT Special Interest Group (SIG) of the CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network (CO-LaN) held a conference call to further progress the revision of the CAPE-OPEN interface specification on Petroleum Fractions. Krishna Murthy PENUKONDA (Schneider Electric), Richard SZCZEPANSKI (KBC Advanced Technologies), Michael HLAVINKA (Bryan Research & Engineering), Jasper van BATEN (AmsterCHEM) and myself attended the conference call.

The previous meeting at the end of February 2017 raised the issue of naming differently properties that are both properties of petroleum fractions and of real compounds. Examples of such properties are the acentric factor, the critical temperature, the critical pressure. A requirement was hen introduced that the thermodynamic server of the Process Modelling Environment supporting Petroleum Fractions, should give values to petroleum properties of all real compounds defined as part of the mixture.

By naming differently for example the property "criticalTemperature" corresponding to a Petroleum Fraction and to a real Compound, while introducing a direct relationship between the two properties, some programmatic advantage may be found.

Looking into this issue made the SIG look into the table listing all petroleum properties. This table appears as not informative enough. Properties are defined by names and their description is rather light. KBC Advanced Technologies and Bryan Research Engineering offered to share their knowledge of the field to further develop the information in the table. Will be done for the next conference call scheduled for April 25.
