·         Utilize Aspen HYSYS to generate physical properties for use in Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating programs

·         Examine the Reboiler Wizard and its ability to simplify more detailed modeling of reboilers in RadFrac models

·         Workshop 1: Design Mode and Rate Checking - Design a heat exchanger using Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger, and then take the Design to create a Rating/Checking case.

·         Workshop 2: Integrating Aspen HYSYS with Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger - Use the heat exchanger design programs as an integrated program run in conjunction with the steady state process simulators.

·         Workshop 3: Vibration - Simulate the effects of operational changes on an exchange. See how vibration issues could be addressed by re-design

·         Workshop 4:  Fouling:  Simulate the effects of fouling during the life of the exchanger. See the impact of fouling of an exchanger for a process.

·         Workshop 5: Thermosyphon - Incorporate a thermosyphon bottoms reboiler in a distillation column. Explore the effect in changes of the column operating conditions on the reboiler.

·         Workshop 6: Air Cooled Exchanger - Design and Air Cooled Exchanger. Import an Aspen Air Cooled Exchanger model into HYSYS Explore the effect of changes in ambient air temperature on your process operations
