Extraction Rates

When you work with weight to volume operations, such as crush, press, or drain operations, you can validate the extraction rate using the Create/Edit Operations program (P31B87) or the Speed Actuals Update program (P31B67). You validate the extraction rate to determine if the correct actual volume moved into a tank was entered into the system.

The system calculates the extraction rate by dividing the total volume moved into the To vessel by the total weight moved out of the From vessel. The system displays the extraction rate for each movement line. You can calculate and view the extraction rate for one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many vessels.

You access the Movement Details subform to enter actual move quantities. You can enter the actual move quantity for the From or To vessel, and for the Before or After scenarios. Complete the Actual Move Quantity field for each record as desired, and then click the Calculate Move button on the Movement Details subform to calculate extraction rates. If you enter a value in the Actual Move Quantity field for a record, the system calculates both the actual extraction rate and the planned extraction rate. If you do not enter a value in the Actual Move Quantity field, the system uses the value in the Planned Move Quantity to calculate the actual move quantify. Thus, when you do not enter a value in the Actual Move Quantity field, the system displays the same value (the calculated value for the planned move quantity) as both the planned and actual extraction rates.

Note: The system uses the weight-to-volume conversion that you set up in the Weight/Volume Conversion Setup program (P31B06) when converting weights to volume.

The system displays the planned and actual extraction rates for the selected vessels-to-vessel movement in the Planned and Actual fields. The Net Planned and Net Actual fields include the extraction rates for the entire operation.
