| Description: | Secondary input consumption as a proportion of primary input consumption |
| Detail: |
Process Secondary Inputs Ratio is the secondary input consumption as a proportion of either the Primary Input Consumption or the Primary Output Production. Which denominator is applied depends on the Denominator property.
For example:
- In water desalination the Primary Input could be a Commodity called "Seawater" measured in the Unit m3 with secondary input of a Commodity "Electricity" measured in the Unit kWh. If each 1 m3 of "Seawater" is combined with 3 kWh of "Electricity" in the Process then you would set the Ratio for "Electricity" to 3 and Denominator = "Input".
- In electrolysis, the Primary Input could be a Commodity called "Electricity" measured in the Unit kWh with secondary input of "H2O" measured in the Unit kL with primary output being "H2" measured in the Unit kg. If each kg of output "H2" requires 10 kL of "H2O" you would set Ratio for "H2O" to 10 and Denominator = "Output".
