UM · Solid-process module
Turns accepted material into a controlled, buffered process feed and provides the services required for a stable handover to reaction.
Module function
The functional boundary is explicit so a module is never treated as a universal process claim.
How the module works
Each step names both the physical function and the evidence required before the next handover.
Upstream release and receiver readiness recorded.
Density, solids and rheology evidence accepted.
Level, capacity and destination status valid.
Required services are available within limits.
RM inlet criteria and local permissives satisfied.
Stream schedule
A stream is not released merely because the equipment can move it. Its state, route and receiving boundary must be accepted.
| Stream | Direction | Physical handover | Acceptance / release basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accepted material | Inlet | AFCM dry feed or engineered wet route → Utility | Source, phase, rate and upstream status accepted. |
| Process liquids / services | Utility inlet | Site / package utilities → Utility | Quality, pressure, temperature and availability defined. |
| Controlled reaction feed | Product / intermediate | Utility → RM | Density, solids, rheology, flow and route accepted. |
| Drain / flush / off-spec | Residual | Utility → named hold, recycle or residual receiver | Receiver and return conditions explicit. |
Published datasheet
Unsupported values are never guessed. The table states either the current public definition or exactly how the value is established.

| Feed rate | Matched to selected Adapt model, RM demand and confirmed feed behaviour. | Project-specific |
| Solids / density / rheology | Released from representative testwork and the RM inlet basis. | Project-specific |
| Buffer duty | Set by operating cycle, variability, start/stop philosophy and available footprint. | Project-specific |
| Utilities | Water, power, air, heat and cooling duties are mass-and-energy-balance outputs. | Project-specific |
| Materials | Selected from chemistry, solids, abrasion, corrosion and cleaning basis. | Project-specific |
| Instrumentation | Level, flow and required feed-state evidence follow the released control philosophy. | Configuration option |
| Performance | Transfer stability and preparation performance are verified for the project feed. | Not publicly released |
Interface schedule
Process, utility, residual and control handovers are listed separately so responsibility is visible.
| Interface | Class | Handover | Acceptance evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feed inlet | Process in | Accepted dry feed or separately engineered wet feed | Upstream status and material state verified. |
| RM outlet | Process out | Controlled reaction feed | RM inlet basis and route proven. |
| Site utilities | Utility | Defined services and qualities | Availability and failure behaviour released. |
| Drain / residual | Residual | Named hold, recycle, cleaning and disposal receivers | No unowned liquid route. |
| Automation | Controls | State, level, flow, service and route evidence | Cause/effect tested. |
Operating envelope
The system envelope, Kit or chemistry limits, installed module configuration, project evidence and receiver criteria all apply. The narrowest valid limit governs.
| Envelope layer | Governing rule | Checks before release |
|---|---|---|
| System | Physical and chemical conditions must remain within the Adapt system envelope. | pH, temperature, viscosity, chloride, conductivity and selected pack. |
| Kit | The released Kit defines chemistry and reaction-feed limits. | Composition, concentration, sequence and compatibility. |
| Module | Installed mixing, holding and transfer configuration defines local limits. | Solids, density, rheology, level and transfer. |
| Receiver | RM acceptance is the final handover condition. | Flow, state, route and readiness. |
Safety, cleaning and lifecycle
Safe state, cleaning, maintainability and evidence gates are part of the technical definition, not afterthoughts.
