EHY202 Aspen HYSYS: Advanced Process Modeling Topics Course Agenda

·         Use core flowsheeting functionality to build a Turbo Expander plant flowsheet with a multi-pass exchanger and other key unit operations (heater, separator, column, set).

·         Workshop: Use the Aspen HYSYS LNG Exchanger to simulate multi-pass exchangers. Add Columns using the Input Expert. Customize the Workbook and PFD. Use stream property correlations.

·         Demonstrate how automation can be used to increase the capabilities of Aspen HYSYS.

·         Workshop: Create a User Variable to report user defined quantities. Use Aspen Simulation Workbook to create a custom interface.

·         Simulate columns that do not adhere to the usual configurations.

·         Workshop: Customize a column with a sizable heat exchanger. Perform tray sizing and Rating calculations using the Tray Sizing utility.

·         Use a spreadsheet to calculate a simplified profit for the Turbo Expander plant.

·         Workshop: Import and export variables to and from the Spreadsheet; add complex formulas. Use the Case Study to evaluate flowsheet scenarios.

·         Model liquid/vapor carryover so that your model matches your process mass balance or separator design specification.

·         Workshop: Estimate carryover based on vessel geometry and inlet conditions. Model an exit device to reduce liquid carryover.

·         Size and rate pressure safety valves to safely meet plant conditions using the Dynamic Depressuring utility.

·         Workshop: Use the Dynamic Depressuring utility to size a blowdown valve for a vessel and size a PSV for a fire case.

·          Specify equilibrium and conversion reactors using reaction sets defined in the simulation basis.

·         Workshop: Model a simplified synthesis gas flowsheet using a variety of reactor types.

·         Convert an existing heat exchanger from a simple design model to a rigorous rating model.

·         Workshop: Use Aspen Shell and Tube Exchanger as the rating engine for a heat exchanger inside Aspen HYSYS.
