Process Simulation with Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus

Steady-state flowsheets and selected equipment examples

Introduction

Why this course

An introductory practical course for participants with a chemical-engineering or related background. Use Aspen HYSYS to build and inspect a small steady-state flowsheet, select a suitable fluid-property package and review equipment and reporting results.

The source also includes Aspen Plus solids modelling and exchanger-design interfaces. These are treated as selected demonstrations using the arranged software and licences, rather than implied to be interchangeable HYSYS functions or comprehensive engineering design training.

Learning outcomes

Navigate a prepared process-simulation project and specify components, units and basic inputs.
Select and explain a fluid-property package for a prepared example.
Model selected pumps, compressors and heat exchangers and inspect flowsheet results.
Compare introductory solids-modelling and exchanger-design workflows in the appropriate Aspen tools.
Review sensitivities, troubleshoot basic issues and export documented results with their assumptions.

Prerequisites

Chemical engineering, industrial chemistry or relevant applied-physics/fluid-dynamics background.
Ability to read technical English and interpret basic process diagrams.
Access to the arranged compatible HYSYS installation; Aspen Plus and EDR access where included in demonstrations.

Training outline

2 modules

01Day 1 — Simulation Fundamentals and a Steady-State Flowsheet1 topics

Environment and Inputs

Navigate the workspace, projects and simulation system.
Define units, components, streams, material properties and a suitable fluid package.
Build and inspect a small flowsheet; check specifications, convergence and basic mass/energy consistency.

Equipment Examples

Selected pump and compressor models.
A prepared oil-and-gas process example.
Heat-exchanger inputs and results; explain assumptions and equipment-model limits.

02Day 2 — Extended Models, Analysis and Reporting1 topics

Solids and Exchanger Demonstrations

Introduce solids-process modelling and troubleshooting in Aspen Plus.
Demonstrate a supported shell-and-tube exchanger design/rating workflow with the arranged EDR interface.
Distinguish tool capabilities, model assumptions and licence/version requirements.

Analysis and Refinement

Piping-system and prepared sensitivity/optimisation examples.
Identify relevant analysis tools and interpret reported safety-related results without treating a simulation as a complete safety assessment.
Troubleshoot selected inputs, property-package or convergence issues.

Reporting

Inspect outputs and export a concise result set.
Record input data, assumptions, limitations and further validation needed before engineering use.
