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, reners, and E&C rms
must creatively reduce capital and operating costs and increase
engineering efciencyall in an effort to maximize plant and
business performance and protability.
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 protable designs
through quick creation of interactive models for what-if studies and sensitivity analysis. These models can be leveraged
throughout the plant lifecyclefrom conceptual to detailed designs, performance rating, and optimizationsignicantly
reducing engineering costs and enabling better operating decisions. Other benets 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

Aspen HYSYS Options
The power and exibility of Aspen HYSYS is further enhanced
through a number of optional add-on applications.
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

Acid Gas Cleaning: Simulates and

optimizes gas and liquid sweetening processes involving
single or blended amines, physical solvents, and phosphoric
acid as a stripping promoter.
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-specic

solution for integrated asset modeling and appraisal;
production eld 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 Rening: Provides a rening-

specic solution for optimizing process and product
specications by providing access to crude assay libraries,
rigorous reactor models, and planning support tools
for better crude selection, planning, and scheduling of
operations.
Rigorous Reactor Models: Simulate models for FCC,
hydroprocessing, naphtha reforming and C5 isomerization,
delayed coking, and visbreaking that use familiar Aspen
HYSYS interfaces for calibration and integration into larger
owsheets.
Relief Sizing: Ensure that proper relief valve and rupture
disk sizing methods are used throughout the overpressure
analysis. Accepted industry standards API 520, 521 are
implemented in Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus to calculate
necessary relief device sizing specications, including relief
loads and orice sizes.
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.
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 owsheet modeling capabilities
(e.g., renery process units, including reactors, or integrated
sub-sea pipeline and top-side facility models for oil and gas).
