Advanced Process Modelling Using Aspen HYSYS Steady State - Course Agenda
Module 1
Extensions

Demonstrate the ability to add unit operations to

Aspen HYSYS via extensibility
Use a pre-built extension in a Aspen HYSYS
simulation

Module 2
Advanced Columns

Customize column by replacing the generic

reboiler with a sizable heat exchanger
Perform Tray Sizing and Rating calculations using
the Tray Sizing utility

Module 6
Compressor and Pump Curves

Specify and attach single and multiple head and

efficiency curves to compressors and pumps

Module 7
Troubleshooting

Recognise, interpret, and troubleshoot common

problem areas in Aspen HYSYS
Learn tips and tricks to ensure column
convergence

Additional Topics (if time permits)

Module 3
Spreadsheets and Case Studies

Import and export variables to and from the

Spreadsheet; add complex formulas
Use the Case Study to evaluate flowsheets

Module 4
Rating Heat Exchangers

Use the Dynamic Rating method (by providing

heat exchanger geometry) to determine if an
existing heat exchanger will meet process
specifications

Module 5
Reactions

Add reactions to the fluid package and model

synthesis gas production using conversion and
equilibrium reactors

Calculation sequencing
Optimisation
Advanced Recycle Operations
Real Separators
