TOPTANK

With the aid of tables the complete terminal infrastructure is recorded in the model: tanks, berths, jetty lines, pumping platforms, pumps, pumpheaders, headers and connection lines. The model contains a navigation system that determines all possible routes between tanks and berths and puts them in a table. When a vessel arrives the most optimal available route for pumping the product is chosen from this table. All equipment that is part of this route is occupied when the pumping starts. When putting together the route table the navigation system takes into account constraints like a maximum number of pieces of equipment, use only equipment of the same product group and use a suction and a pressure connection. The simulation model reads this route table before a run is started... Transfers: from MOT to tank, from tank to MOT, from tank to tank and from MOT to MOT... Within the generic model for terminals vessels (barges, trains and trucks) arrive according to a predefined schedule or..
