Interface ProcessTemplate

All Known Implementing Classes:
CO2CaptureTemplate, DehydrationTemplate, GasCompressionTemplate, ThreeStageSeparationTemplate
public interface ProcessTemplate
Interface for process templates that define standard configurations.

Process templates encapsulate common process configurations (e.g., three-stage separation, compression trains, fractionation systems) with standardized equipment sizing rules and operating limits.

Example implementation: 

public class ThreeStageSeparationTemplate implements ProcessTemplate {
  @Override
  public ProcessSystem create(ProcessBasis basis) {
    ProcessSystem process = new ProcessSystem();
    // Create HP, MP, LP separators with auto-sizing
    // ...
    return process;
  }
}
