Introduction to
Zac Peers, Product Manager for
Aspen Plus Dynamics and Aspen Custom Modeler

5
Aspen Custom Modeler Overview
Aspen Custom Modeler is specifically designed for
development and use of custom process models
With Aspen Custom Modeler you can:
Quickly and easily develop custom unit operation models,
including your specific expertise or proprietary know-how
Store these models in libraries for others to use
Build these models into complete simulation flowsheets
Run in 4 different modes:
Steady state
Dynamic
Parameter estimation
Optimization (steady-state or dynamic)
Package and deploy completed simulations for use across your
enterprise


6
Uses Aspen Properties
Aspen Properties is integrated into ACM, maintaining the
rigorous property calculations in Aspen Plus

You can access Aspen Polymers to use in custom modeling

7
Easy to Learn
Started here less than a year ago and developed the
rate-based flash model
Easy to learn language
Simple troubleshooting using informational messages
Variety of examples available

Summary
Aspen Custom Model was used to develop a rate-based
flash
The model was placed in Aspen Plus
The model accessed Aspen Properties for rigorous property
data
The rigorous model resulted in more accurate results
The model was easy to develop and use

Challenge Solution Result Challenge
Modeling and Optimization of an Ethylene Oxide
Reactor using Aspen Custom Modeler
Reliance Industries Ltd.
Model and optimize an
Ethylene Oxide Reactor
Needed a custom model to:
Obtain maximum throughput
within established constraints
Predict effect of process
conditions on catalyst
Understand and prevent side
reactions
Perform what-if studies and
sensitivity analysis
Optimize process control and
operating conditions
Ref: Vasudha Mallikondla, Reliance Industries Limited
AspenTech OPTIMIZE, Boston, MA, May 2013

15
Solution Result
Developed custom simulation
with Aspen Custom
Modeler
Estimated kinetic parameters
and deactivation parameters
for the EO reactor
Performed model validation
and performance prediction
Used ACM model to
determine optimum
temperatures for Chloride
content
Challenge

16
Optimized process selectivity
Increased profits by an
estimated 17%
Continue to use model for:
Process control
Offline optimization
Real-time optimization of
the overall plant

17
Rapid and Easy Custom Modeling with Aspen
Custom Modeler
Hitachi Zosen
Required 99.5% purity
ethanol to blend with gasoline
Needed a way to model and
optimize the process
Required precise calculations
of outlet streams
Physical property data played
a key role
Considered zeolite membrane
as an alternative to traditional
dehydration methods
Ref: Masashi Okada, Tadayoshi Shimada
Hitachi Zosen Corporation

18
Solution Result
Modeled zeolite membrane
with Aspen Custom
Modeler
Physical property capabilities
provided consistent data
Model can be studied in
dynamic mode
Used Aspen Process
Economic Analyzer to study
cost effectiveness for
integrated distillation column
and membrane unit
Challenge

19
Total cost reduction of
18% estimated
20% reduction in CAPEX*
17% reduction in OPEX
Considered a variety of cases
to optimize: investment,
utility, and maintenance costs
Modeled complex units with
ACM to open up new design
possibilities

*CAPEX calculated on an annual basis
