BioSTEAM-Inherited Units

BioSTEAM-inherited unit operations are steady-state units that build on BioSTEAM classes and add QSDsan behavior. Use this page when you want familiar BioSTEAM-style unit operations with QSDsan streams, construction, costing, or other QSDsan extensions.

All classes are also importable directly from qsdsan.unit_operations.

Note

Looking for Mixer, Splitter, or Pump? They also wrap BioSTEAM units, but because they support dynamic simulation they’re documented on the dynamic units page instead (Abstract and Pumping sections). FakeSplitter and ReversedSplitter below have no dynamic-state support, so they stay here.
