The Challenge: Adapting to Change, Optimize Business Performance

Across the process industries, companies are faced with global

economic challenges, dynamic market conditions, and pressure to

reduce time-to-market. With continued volatility in hydrocarbon

and energy prices, oil & gas producers, refiners, and E&C firms

must creatively reduce capital and operating costs and increase

engineering efficiency—all in an effort to maximize plant and

business performance and profitability.

The AspenTech® Solution: Better Simulation Streamlines Engineering

Fundamental to improving performance of the plant or enterprise, or even the extended supply chain, is an accurate

representation of the basic processes. Aspen HYSYS provides the solution to meet this need, providing vital insights for solving

the critical engineering and operating problems that arise throughout the plant lifecycle.

The process simulation capabilities of Aspen HYSYS enable engineers to rapidly evaluate the safest and most profitable designs

through quick creation of interactive models for “what-if” studies and sensitivity analysis. These models can be leveraged

throughout the plant lifecycle—from conceptual to detailed designs, performance rating, and optimization—significantly

reducing engineering costs and enabling better operating decisions. Other benefits include:

• Improving engineering productivity

• Reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions

• Minimizing capital and operating costs

• Improving product yields and quality

• Optimizing plant operations by calibrating models with real data sets

• Supporting Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) policies and regulatory compliance

• Integrating with other aspenONE® Engineering solutions to provide a common engineering workflow for the Refining, Midstream, E&P, and E&C industries

Aspen HYSYS Options

The power and flexibility of Aspen HYSYS is further enhanced

through a number of optional add-on applications.

• Aspen HYSYS Acid Gas Cleaning: Simulates and optimizes gas sweetening processes involving single or blended amines, physical solvents, and phosphoric acid as a stripping promoter. Has the ability to model amine degradation due to heat stable salt formation.

• Aspen HYSYS EO (Equation-Oriented) Modeling Option: Enables large Aspen HYSYS simulation models to be converged rapidly using the EO solution mode, and is based on the proven EO model library available in Aspen Plus®.

• Aspen HYSYS Upstream: Provides an E&P-specific solution for integrated asset modeling and appraisal; production field data can be input in an easy-to-use environment to create an asset-wide model from wellhead through gathering to salespoint.

• Aspen HYSYS Crude: Enables the simulation of crude oil assays and crude columns.

• Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining: Provides a refining-specific solution for optimizing process and product specifications by providing access to crude assay libraries, rigorous reactor models, and planning support tools for better crude selection, planning, and scheduling of operations.

• Full Set of Rigorous Reactor Models: Simulate models for FCC, hydrocrackers, hydrotreaters, reformers, isomerization units, visbreakers, delayed cokers, naphtha hydrotreaters, CatGas hydrotreaters, and alkylation units in the familiar and easy-to-use Aspen HYSYS flowsheets.

• Relief Sizing: Streamline pressure relief analysis with AspenTech’s Process Safety Tools. Add and size pressure relief devices in accordance with API 520 and 521 standards and generate documentation with the safety analysis environment within Aspen HYSYS. Complete this workflow by automatically importing sized relief devices to Aspen Flare System Analyzer for flare network analysis. Use this tool with Aspen HYSYS Dynamics to make the most of your safety projects.

• Aspen HYSYS Dynamics: Enables safety and control studies, pressure relief analysis, optimizing startup and shutdown policies, and as a simulation engine for Operator Training Simulators (OTS) without leaving the Aspen HYSYS environment. Activated Dynamics for Compressor Surge Analysis allows for fast dynamic analysis of compressor operation.

Aspen HYSYS’ integrated steady-state and dynamic environment enables rapid model building for design, control, operability analysis, and operations decision support.

Activated Energy Analysis within Aspen HYSYS continually analyzes models’ utility and GHG costs, and proposes design updates to minimize energy expenditure.

Aspen HYSYS provides large flowsheet modeling capabilities (e.g., refinery process units, including reactors, or integrated sub-sea pipeline and top-side facility models for oil and gas).

• Aspen Simulation Workbook: Integrates with Microsoft Excel® and AspenTech simulators, including Aspen HYSYS and Aspen HYSYS Dynamics. Applications include supplementary design calculations, reporting, and deployment of models in operations for performance monitoring and decision support.
