KG-Tower Loadings (v1.0)

www.falchemist.com
If desired, open an existing .kgt file as template using the "Open Template" button.
All available non-loading data in this file will be passed on to the new kgt file produced.
If no .kgt template file is opened, a built-in (empty) template in metric units will be used.
Import the vapor an liquid loadings on the sheet "simulator-data" (HYSYS example given)
If required, modify the lookup code on the "loadings" sheet as required to suit your simulator's output format.
Select the tray identifiers for vapor and liquid loads and add the zone descriptions
NB: starting from the first Zone ID that is left blank, no data is included in the kgt file, even if the template had data for it.
therefore make sure the zones are specified in a consecutive block of data.
Save this excel file under the path & name you want to give to the new .kgt file
Click the "Create kgt File" button
You have now created a .kgt file with the above loading data.
It will be located in the same directory as this excel file and have the same name (except for the ".kgt" extention)
Open the kgt file in KG-tower to start using the above loading data
