RE: Question about Load of Plant.

There are as many definitions of plant load as there are accountants. The two that are used most are either the absolute load or relative load.

The absolute load is the measure of either input feedstock or output products, which ever the account needs to use to tell investors how big the facility is. In your case it might be tonnes of NH3 produced in a day. A refinery would use the loading value of barrels of crude oil processed. Again, the NH3 might use m^3 of methane as the load.

The relative load is the ratio of the absolute load value dived by same fixed value. For example, your NH3 was designed to produce 100 tonnes per day of nH3 and you made 94 tonnes, then 94/100 is a 94% load rate. The problem is tiring down that base value. Your 100 tonne plant may have been modified and the engineers believe it now has a 110 tonne capacity. Should that 110 value be changed?
