Patent ID: 8224703

Claim:
A selection system to select fluid process systems, the selection system comprising: at least one computer processor with a processing system; at least one memory device; at least one communication interface device with an interface; an instruction set held in the at least one memory device and executable by the at least one computer processor; the interface configured to transfer a first signal that indicates user prompts, receive a second signal that indicates user inputs provided responsive to the user prompts wherein the user inputs indicate fluid process information, and transfer a third signal that indicates first performance and specification information for a first one of the fluid process systems; and the processing system configured to direct the interface to transfer the first signal, process the fluid process information to select the first one of the fluid process systems, obtain the first performance and specification information for the first one of the fluid process systems, and direct the interface to transfer the third signal, wherein the fluid process information indicates a first fluid process component and the selected one of the fluid process systems includes the first fluid process component and at least a second fluid process component with the first performance and specification information being based on an interaction between the first fluid process component and the at least second fluid process component; the interface receiving a fourth signal indicating a user request for configuring the first one of the fluid process systems, and transfer a fifth signal indicating configuration parameter options for the first one of the fluid process systems; and the processing system is configured to process the user request to direct the interface to transfer the fifth signal.
