A simplified guide. Specific routes may combine stages, introduce additional treatment or use different return circuits.
Read the process as a connected system
Identify the material stream and its measurement point at every handover. Compare equipment on a common design basis and preserve the distinction between fresh feed, recirculated material and finished product.
