EHY903.088.02
Application Workshop Instructions

Introduction
The streams in a typical petroleum refinery consist of many different hydrocarbons. The complete
component-by-component analysis of petroleum fraction is practically impossible. Routine
analysis in refineries usually involves determining the physical properties such as boiling points,
density, viscosity etc.
Petroleum refining is one of the oldest chemical industry and hence a great deal of research work
has been carried out resulting in availability of standards, for carrying out routine laboratory
analysis, and an extensive literature.
Based on some fundamental parameters, such as the critical constants, molecular weight and
boiling points, empirical and semi-empirical correlations can be used to analyze the petroleum
fractions.
The complete analysis of a petroleum fraction (cut), called an assay, usually contains the following
information:
1. Laboratory distillation such as the TBP, ASTM D86, ASTM D1160 or simulated
distillation D2887
2. Bulk properties such as gravity, density, Watson K factor, bulk viscosity, sulfur content,
etc.
3. Light end analysis
4. Properties of cut fractions such as viscosity, sulfur, nickel or vanadium content, pour point,
etc.

Objective

In Task1, the procedure for entering assay data is discussed and then the conventional and
molecular characterization tools are used to generate the Hypothetical components to represent the
crude feed in a flowsheet in Aspen HYSYS.
In Task2, Petroleum Feeder and Assay Manipulator will be used to mix petroleum assays and
material streams and change properties of the characterized assays.
In Task3, the Product Blender which contains the Optimization tool which will be used to mix
different product streams to produce a gasoline product and achieve target values.
Finally, the Petroleum column is included in Task4 of this workshop, to simulate a short cut
distillation column.
2 ‐ 2

Description

This workshop includes the following tasks.
 Task 1: Fundamental concepts

 Task 2: Mix and match assays
 Task 3: Gasoline Blending
 Task 4: Petroleum Column
Task 1: Assay Manager Fundamentals

Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining offers three methods for introducing assay data: manual
entry, importing from a file, or importing from library. When the assay data is entered manually
the following options can be used to enter the data:
- Multi Cut Properties -lets you enter cuts with their initial and final boiling points.
- Single Stream -lets you define the distillation percent and temperature of individual
streams.
- Back Blending -Back blending lets you define feed streams by blending their associated
products. The input products are typically defined in commercial distillations that have
significant overlap across products. Back blending creates an assay from these
overlapping measurements that can be used as an Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining
feed stream.
The manual data entry for a new assay requires entering basic information as the distillation
curve before the new assay can be characterized.
Distillation Curve
ASTM distillation is essentially a batch distillation with one equilibrium stage and no reflux and
minimum separation of the components of the fractions. For gasoline, kerosene, gas oil and similar
light and middle distillates, the ASTM method D86, which is carried out at atmospheric pressure,
is used. For Heavy petroleum products, which tend to decompose in the ASTM D86 method,
ASTM D1160 method at a reduced pressure between 1 and 760 mm Hg is used. The temperature at
which the first drop of condensate is collected is called the Initial Boiling Point (IBP). The End
Point (EP) or the Final Boiling Point (FBP) is the maximum vapor temperature when almost the
entire sample is distilled (above 95%).
2 ‐ 3

The True Boiling Point (TBP) distillation is performed in columns with 15 theoretical plates or
equilibrium stages and a reflux ratio of 5. Operation is at 760 mm Hg for boiling points below 400
°
C (750 °F). For higher boiling point fractions, the distillation is conducted at reduced pressures as
low as 0.5 mm Hg
Besides the distillation curve, there is a long list of properties available that can be used to
characterize a petroleum fraction. In Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining, the generated
Hypotheticals (Hypos) can have properties that are categorized into the following groups:
1) Physical and Transport Property Calculation

2) Petroleum Property Calculation
3) Burning Characteristic Group Properties
4) Index Group Properties
5) Cold Group Properties
6) Flammability Group Properties
7) PONA and Composition Property Group
8) Other Group Properties
9) Contaminants Group Properties
The following table displays the applicability of some of these properties to different petroleum
fractions:

2 ‐ 4

Some of these properties are routinely determined in refinery laboratories based on ASTM
procedure. Some of these properties are described below:
Flash Point
The lowest temperature corrected to a pressure of 101.3 kPa at which application of an ignition
source causes the vapors of a specimen of the sample to ignite under specified conditions.
There are several ASTM methods for measuring flash points. The minimum flash point that can
be determined by method D93 is 10 °C. Method D 56 is intended for liquids with a viscosity less
than 9.5 cSt at 25 oC. The flash points and fire points of lubricating oils can be determined by
ASTM method D 92/IP 36 Many fresh crude oils have flash points below 10 oC and/or viscosities
above 9.5 cSt at 25 °C.
Pour Point
The pour point of an oil is the lowest temperature at which the oil will just flow, under standard
test conditions, as heavy waxy oil transportation is a challenge. The pour point of the oils is
therefore an indication, and not an exact measure, of the temperature at which flow ceases. ASTM
method D 97 is the Standard Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum Oils (ASTM, 1996a) for
pour point determinations.
Aniline Point
The Aniline point of an oil is defined as the minimum temperature at which equal volumes of
Aniline (C6H5NH2) and the petroleum cut are miscible to form a single phase upon mixing.
The value gives an approximation of the aromatic content of the oil, since the miscibility of aniline,
an aromatic compound, indicates the presence of other aromatic compounds in the oil. ASTM
D611-12 is the standard test method for the Aniline point of Petroleum products and hydrocarbon
solvents.
Viscosity
There are several ASTM Standard Methods for measuring the viscosity of oils. Of these, only
methods D 445 -Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque
Liquids (the Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity) and D 4486 -Standard Test Method for Kinematic
Viscosity of Volatile and Reactive Liquids, will yield absolute viscosity measurements (ASTM,
1996a).
Both of these methods make use of glass capillary kinematic viscometers and will produce absolute
measurements in units of centistokes (cSt) only for oils that exhibit Newtonian flow behavior
(viscosity independent of the rate of shear).
2 ‐ 5

Cetane Number
Cetane number is an inverse function of a Diesel Fuel’s ignition delay. Higher Cetane fuels have
shorter ignition delay periods than the lower Cetane fuels. In short, the higher the Cetane number
the more easily the fuel will auto-ignite in a diesel engine. Hexadecane (also called Cetane) is
arbitrarily assigned a Cetane number of 100. ASTM D613 is the standard procedure for
measurement of the Cetane number.
In this task, we first learn to import assay data from the existing library in Aspen HYSYS
Petroleum Refining.

 Change the Unit Set to SI by going to File tab | Options. In the pop-up window look for
Units of Measure at the left pane. In the Available Units Sets section choose SI unit set
and click OK.
2 ‐ 6

 In Navigation Pane of the Properties Environment select the Petroleum Assay folder. Then
view the HYSYS ribbon section and you should be located on the Assay Management
ribbon tab.
 Click the New Assay pull-down menu and select Import From File.
This will display a window that shows the library of crude assays included in the Aspen HYSYS
Petroleum Refining database. The assay list can be manipulated by region and country.
2 ‐ 7

 In the Region pull-down list, select Middle East. Then from the Country pull-down list
select Saudi Arabia. In the resulting list of assay, click and highlight Arabian Heavy-
2006. Then click OK to load the assay.

the summary table or in the plots. In the Assay Management tool bar, look for the Plot
Gallery section, and then display Properties, Distillations and Viscosities plots.
 In the Properties plot, you can display different properties. The liquid density is plotted
by default. You can change the property by clicking Select Property button at the left side
in the Format ribbon.
2 ‐ 8

 Click on the Remove button to delete the default liquid density property, and then click
Add. In the Index group look for the Viscosity Index. In order to add the property,
make sure to click over the green tick tab.
 Feel free to display different properties. Save your case as 01-ArabianHeavy-2006.hsc

when finish.
The next step is adding manually an assay.

mass fractions agree with the input data.
2 ‐ 13

 You can review the data again using the Plot Gallery and compare results with Crude1.
When finish, save the case as 01-Crude2.hsc.
The next assay will be characterized with the Molecular Characterization method.
 Manually create a third assay with the same assay cut temperature data and with the same
cut yields as before. Name it Crude3. Do not characterize the assay yet.
 In the Assay Management tab, activate the Molecular Characterization (MC) method by
clicking over the check box.

2 ‐ 14

Molecular Characterization uses a set of compounds to represent the species in crude oils. These
compounds are categorized into 13 compound classes:
 paraffins (P),  carbazoles,

 naphthenes (N),  15uinolones,
 aromatics (A),  phenols,
 sulfides (S),  paraffinic acids (PA),
 mercaptans (M),  naphthenic acids (NA)
 naphthenic sulfides (SN),  aromatic acids (AA).
 thiophenes (T),

Each class consists of a number of molecule-building segments. For example, normal paraffins
contains two kinds of segments which are methyl (-CH3) and methylene (-CH2-). For details on
the segments and compounds, refer to the Segments and Compounds topic for additional
information.
The molecular profile of a crude, which refers to the composition of the compounds, is embodied
in the distribution of the numbers of the building segments within individual classes and the class
weights in the crude. In addition, molecular profile also includes parameters for the mixing rule in
the viscosity model.
By default, Assay Management automatically determines an appropriate profile to use based on

the region, country, and oil field, when an assay is selected. If Assay Management cannot
determine a profile in the same region, country, or oil field for the selected assay, a default profile,
Initial Profile, will be used. You can also select another profile as needed from the built-in libraries
or user profiles. And you can also enter the parameters manually to specify a profile.
Example of segments that are available to represent the petroleum fractions can be found in the
online help.
2 ‐ 15

 The Molecular Method interface appears. Click on the Run Evaluation button located at
the bottom right corner.
2 ‐ 16

The evaluation mode effectively uses an existing profile with default distribution of segments.
 After evaluation finishes, go to the Assay Management tab | Plot Gallery section and
display Segment and Molecular plots.
 In Format tab you can select the Segment or Class to be plot.
2 ‐ 17

2 ‐ 18

 Check that results Paraffins, Olefins, Naphthenenes, and Aromatic by wt(%) of the
characterized oil agree with the input data. If there is disagreement, then the setting of MC
such as the (%) of paraffin, naphthene, etc. can be changed.

 Save your case as 01-Crude3.hsc
Next, the Back Blending option is used to create an assay by mixing of existing assays.
 Manually enter a new assay and select the Back Blending option in the New Assay pop-
up window. Name it as Crude4 and click OK.
2 ‐ 19

 Enter the data in the Heavy stream tab as shown in the image below. You need to click
over the Click to Add Stream cell for each new stream.

Hint: if you need to add or remove a distillation percent point, just right click over the distillation
percent number.
 When finishing, click the Characterize Assay button and the resulting assay will be
added to the Assay Manager’s list of assays.
2 ‐ 20

 Save your file as 01-BackBlending.hsc
2 ‐ 21

Task 2: Mix and Match Assays

The Petroleum Feeder allows flexibility over how the crude proportions are defined and allows
mixing of petroleum assays from the Oil Environment with assays from other streams in the
flowsheet. In addition, you can setup feeds as blends and/or cuts of petroleum assays. Streams
can also be setup to represent spiked or partial crudes. In this task a Petroleum Feeder is added to
the simulation workspace.
 Open Aspen HYSYS and create a New Case.

 Go to Petroleum Assay folder in the Navigation pane of the Properties Environment
and add from the library the Arabian Heavy-2006 assay.

 Go to the Simulation environment, from the palette add a material stream and name it
F1. Specify a temperature of 20 °C, a pressure of 4 bar, and a molar flow of 100
kgmole/h.
2 ‐ 22

 In the same stream property window, go to the Petroleum Assay section over Worksheet
tab. select the Attach Existing option; from the drop-down list select the assay you created
previously.

2 ‐ 23

 Once the assay is attached to the material stream, the composition should be included. Go
to Composition section to review this composition. Material stream F1 should be
completely specified by now.
 From the Object Palette, under Refining tab, select the Petroleum Feeder operation and
add it to the flowsheet.

2 ‐ 24

 Double-click the Petroleum Feeder icon and view the Connections page.
2 ‐ 25

 In the Feed Assay field, select the Arabian Heavy-2006 assay.

 For the Feed Streams field, select F1.
 Type in P1 as the name for the product stream. A stream named P1 will now show on
the flowsheet leaving the Feeder.
 In the Parameter tab select the cut range of 80 ̊C to 540 ̊C for the feed assay and the flow
ratio of 0.7.
2 ‐ 26

 Open P1 stream and go to Worksheet tab | Composition. As you can see, the P1 stream
does not have any specified conditions; rather only the composition of the stream is known.
Petroleum Feeder operation calculates the composition for the product stream. The conditions for
the product stream can be then fully defined.
 Go to Conditions section and specify pressure, temperature and flow as shown in the image
below:
2 ‐ 27

 Save your case as 02-PetroleumFeeder.hsc
 Add an Assay Manipulator from the Palette in the Refining.
2 ‐ 28

 Open the Manipulator. In Design | Connections connect stream P1 as the feed and type
P5 as the name for the product stream.

 In the Assay tab | Options section of the Manipulator add the properties and select the
properties type as shown below:
 Go to Shift Props section and make sure the active property is Viscosity @ 38C. Shift the
viscosity of the product stream to 1.6cSt in the Targets section and check the calculated
values and differences between feed and product streams.

2 ‐ 29

 Select now the Pour Point variable and shift the product stream to have a value of 3.5°C.

2 ‐ 30

 Shift the Liquid Density of the product stream to 750 kg/m3.
2 ‐ 31

 Finally shift the C to H ratio of the product stream to 4.5.
2 ‐ 32

 Results for each shifted property can be viewed in a tabular format or in graphical format.
Just click the Graph radio button in the top-right of the window to view the graphical
results.
 Save your case as 02-Manipulator.hsc.
2 ‐ 33

Task 3: Gasoline Blending

In a refinery the gasoline fraction that is produced is classified into different Grades with differing
properties. Typically, the Gasoline Blending operation takes in naphtha fractions from various
operations. The following figure shows possible feed stream that can be blended to produce the
different grades of gasoline product.
A typical gasoline specification is shown below:
Density (15 0C (kg/m3) 720
Maximum Benzene content (% Volume) 1
Minimum RON 95
Minimum MON 85
Distillation characteristics:
%volume evaporated at 70 0C (minimum 20 maximum 48)
%volume evaporated at 100 0C (minimum 46 maximum 71)
%volume evaporated at 180 0C (minimum 75)
Vapor pressure in summer (kPa) (minimum 45 maximum 70)
Vapor pressure in winter (kPa) (minimum 70 maximum 100)
RVP (psig) 10-34
2 ‐ 34

 To begin the workshop, open the case 03-BlenderStarter.hsc. It should be available in

your course file folder.
 View the Properties environment and go to Petroleum Assays folder. This case
includes four different assays already characterized: Reformate, LSR, C5 CUT and C6
CUT.
 Go to the Simulation environment. Notice that four streams are already created, each of
them with one of the assays created in the Properties environment. Confirm this by going
to the Petroleum Assay section inside each window stream.
 From the Palette in Refining tab add a Product Blender operation.
2 ‐ 35

 Double Click the Product Blender icon to open its property view.
 Specify the Product Blender connections as follows:
In this cell… Enter…
Inlet streams Reformate, LSR, C5 cut, C6 cut
Outlet streams Gasoline Blend
Surplus Stream Extra
2 ‐ 36

The Product Blender allows mixing of several streams together to calculate a blended property
value or to optimize the properties in the product stream by back calculation and determination
of the optimum mix ratios for the inlet streams.
This unit operation is like a "black box" consisting of splitters and mixers. Each inlet stream
enters a Tee or splitter, which splits the stream based on the specified flow ratio. Then the split
streams enter the appropriate mixer. Each mixer represents the blended product stream. The
Product Blender also has a surplus stream that is used to maintain mass balance in the unit
operation system.
Provide the input stream specifications as shown in the screen captures below.
 Go to Parameters tab in the Product Blender and specify the flow ratios as shown
below:
2 ‐ 37

 Save the case as 03-SimulationBlender.hsc
 Remaining in the Blender window, note the Calculation Mode at the bottom of the
window; it should currently read Simulation.
 Switch the Calculation Mode to Optimization

 Go to the Optimization tab. Select the Variable | Config page.
2 ‐ 38

 You will keep these four optimized variables, but it would be good to rename them. Use
the name as bellow:
 Select the Objective page. Note that one objective variable is already in place. Remove
it by double-clicking on it and selecting the Delete button in the resulting window.
 Return to the Objectives page. At the bottom of the page, set the Add Variable menu to
Objective, and then click Add.

2 ‐ 39

 Select the objective function to be the Gasoline Blend RON as shown in the picture and
click OK.
 Rename the Objective function to RON.
 Click the view optimizer button
2 ‐ 40

 View the Hyprotech SQP tab and change the objective function setting to Maximize.
 Click the Start button to run. The optimizer manipulates the values of the set of
optimization variables in order to maximize the objective function
 Review the calculated Flow ratios for each of the inlet streams.

Thus, reasonable lower and upper bounds must be specified. Exceedingly high or low variable
bounds should obviously be avoided as they may result in numerical problems when scaling. An
2 ‐ 41

initial starting point must be specified, and it should be within the feasible region. Constraints are
optional and are not supported by all of the Optimization Schemes
 Save your case as 03-OptimizationBlender.hsc

2 ‐ 42

Task 4: Petroleum Column

The Petroleum Distillation Column operation can be envisaged as a short cut model specifically
tailored to simulate petroleum distillation columns in a refinery. The Petroleum Column is
specifically designed to help with solving the following problems:
Simulating a petroleum column for a wide range of crude oils within an optimization or gradient
generation scenario. In these situations, the column needs to be simulated over and over again,
and the column should converge quickly and consistently in all scenarios.
The focus of the Petroleum Column is to model the imperfect separation of crude and other feeds
that occur in the refining industry as accurately as possible. The modeling of imperfect
fractionation plays a very important role in refinery economics. Conversely the focus is not to
use the tool as a detailed design tool.
The Petroleum Column model has the following capabilities and limitations:
- One feed.
- Specify the flow-ratio of each product with respect to the feed, or the TBP cut-point of a
product with respect to the feed.
- Calculates the composition, distillation curves, temperature and flow for each of the
products.
- Calculates the petroleum properties for each of the products of the Petroleum Column.
-
If you require significant internal details of the column such as vapor-liquid traffic or
temperature profiles matching very closely to plant data, or if you are interested in extreme
flexibility in the specifications or the topology of the column, you should use the standard
HYSYS column sub flowsheet
The petroleum column uses the TBP cut point specification to determine the quality of the
product streams. The TBP cut point can be best described using the example in the figure below:
In the above case, the intention is to inform the column to split the crude oil into five product
streams.
The five product streams will have the following qualities:
- Top product is cut from the initial boiling point of the crude up to 100°C
- Naphtha product is cut between 100°C and 250°C
2 ‐ 43

- Kero product is cut between 250°C and 280°C

- Gas Oil product is cut between 280°C and 320°C
- Residue product is cut from 320°C to the final boiling point of the crude
These cut points are translated into molar flow fractions of the feed.
 Open Aspen HYSYS and start a New Case.

 In the Properties Environment, go to Petroleum Assays folder and import from the
library the Ceuta-1983 assay. Check the results
 Go to the Simulation Environment. Add a material stream and name it Feed.

 For this stream, specify a temperature of 150 °C, pressure of 800 kPa and a mass flow
of 1200 kg/h.
 Attach to the stream the petroleum assay Ceuta-1983. Feed stream should be completely
calculated.
2 ‐ 44

 From the Palette in Refining section, add the Petroleum Distillation Column to the
flowsheet.

2 ‐ 45

 Double-click the column icon. A dialog box that allows you to enter stage information
appears. Enter the number of stages to be 40, connect stream Feed and the inlet stage
at 18. Click OK when finish.

 View the Design | Specs page for the Petroleum Distillation Column. The product
streams and the feed are by default attached to the column.
2 ‐ 46

 Select Bottoms line item in the Cuts section of the form and click Add Product button
twice.
 Using the image below, change the name and Draw Stage values for the products:

2 ‐ 47


SI TOP- Represents the separation co-efficient of the top section. This is normally the scaled
value of slope of curve NBP vs. Ln(Di/Bi) where NBP is Normal Boiling Point of components
and Di is Molar flow in top section and Bi is molar flow in bottom section. Similarly, SI
BOTTOM - Represents the separation coefficient of the bottom section.
Value of zeros assigned to SI’s are used for perfect separation and higher values used for
imperfect separation.
The equations for the column assume a water-free basis. As a result, the quantity of water
calculated through the equations is zero. Water from the feed and stripping steam is allocated to
the water draw stream.
 Enter the Effective Cut Point (ECP) SI TOP and SI BOT for each cut using the table
below:
Product Name ECP (°C) SI TOP SI BOT
Heavy Naphtha 145 5 10
Kerosene 250 5 5
2 ‐ 48

VGO 350 5 5
Residue 450 5 5
 The Petroleum Distillation Column should be now ready to solve. Click the Run button
at the bottom of the form to solve the column
 In the Performance tab, select the Plots page and check the amount of overlap in the
product streams.

 Save your case as 04-PetroleumColumn.hsc.
