Computer Modeling
Market-leading Modeling software ASPEN HYSYS Overview Getting Started

Computer Modeling
Computer modeling is a very important concept for

chemical engineers Imagine a refinery that has to alter its production rates based on the market needs/product demand, How is this possible without modeling?! Modeling or Simulation is divided into:
Steady-State Modeling
Dynamic Modeling

Computer Modeling
Computer Modeling Applications: Steady-state:

Process Design/Optimizations Equipment conceptual design Studying equipment and process economics Studying different scenarios for operation and their outputs (Case Studies)

Dynamic: Used to model start-up and shutdown scenarios Used also to model and design control systems and equipment In our introductory course; well focus on Steady-State

Modeling

Market-leading Modeling software


A variety of modeling software is currently available in

the market, including:


ASPENTech HYSYS

ASPENTech ASPEN+
VMG Sim Chemstations ChemCad

Simsci Provision or Former Pro/II


Comsol Other minor tools for specific applications

ASPEN HYSYS Overview


In the late seventies, leading researchers in the U of

Cs (University of Calgary) Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Department and their associates at the start up company Hyprotech Ltd. Focused on providing computer solutions to engineering problems In the 1980s, Hyprotech entered the European, South American and Far East markets and was instrumental in promoting the use of PC-based tools for steady-state process simulation

ASPEN HYSYS Overview


From their achievements, there is the object oriented

process simulator (HYSYS Process); a process simulator with integrated steady-state and dynamics (HYSYS Plant); a refinery-wide simulation capability (HYSYS Refinery) In 2001, Hyprotech reached record high revenues in excess of US$80million. A year later, Hyprotech was acquired by Aspen Technologies Inc. for US$106.1million in cash The latest versions for ASPEN Products is V 7
