MasterRecipe: sim-pressurized-drain-m1

Pressurized drain test on sim-cell/mix-tank-1. Use this recipe to exercise the pressurized-drain phase and the tank's N₂ blanket PID loop, the only pid-loop control module in the reference plant. Good for demonstrating closed-loop regulatory control inside a batch step.

Procedure

# Step Phase template Description
1 pressure-test tank-pressure-test Pressurize tank and verify no leaks
2 pressurized-drain tank-pressurized-drain Pressurize and drain under N2 blanket

How it works

  1. pressure-test runs the standard tank leak check.
  2. pressurized-drain isolates the inlet, writes drain_pressure to the PID setpoint, waits for pressure to stabilize, opens the outlet, and tracks the load-cell weight to decide drain completion. Depressurization and a final confirm-safe step run before complete.

  2. Open the N2-blanket-pressure PID faceplate and watch SP, PV, CV evolve as the phase drives the setpoint
