HYSYS
A powerful engineering simulation tool
Widely used in universities and colleges in
advanced courses in chemical engineering
In industry, the package is used in
research, development, modeling and
design
The engineering platform for modeling
processes from upstream, through gas
processing and cryogenic facilities to
refining and chemical processes
Usability and efficiency attributes
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this course lectures, students will be
able to do the following:
Start HYSYS.
Select Components.
Define and select a fluid package.
Enter and re-enter the simulation environment.
Add and specify material streams and unit
operation.
Build a simulation flow diagram and run the
simulation.
Out the results of the simulation.
STARTING HYSYS
Click on the start Menu.
Select Program/Aspen
Tech/Engineering suite/HYSYS.
The HYSYS desktop appears
SIMULATION BASIS
MANAGER
Define all information for performing
flash and physical property
calculations (property package,
components, hypothetical
components, interaction parameters,
reactions, tabular data).
Allows creation and manipulation of
multiple fluid package or component
list in simulation.
CREATING A NEW
SIMULATION
Select file/New/Case or click New Case
to start a new case.
This opens up the SIMULATION BASIS
MANAGER.
It is here that you specify all of the
components and their properties.
Save file in a location.
Select file/save as/ select where to save
file. Note that there is no default
location.
SIMULATION BASIS
MANAGER
SELECTING A FLUID
PACKAGE
The fluid package is used to calculate
the fluid/thermodynamic properties
of the components and mixtures in
your simulation (enthalpy, entropy,
density, vapour-liquid equilibrium
etc.). The correct fluid package will
give the basis for the results returned
by your simulation.
SELECTING A FLUID
PACKAGE
From the Simulation Basis Manager, select the
Fluid Packages tab.
Click Add button to create a new fluid package
From the list of fluid package, select the desired
thermodynamic package.
Once the desired model has been located,
select it by clicking on it once. E.g. select Peng
Robinson property package for your simulation.
Give your fluid package a name at the bottom of
the fluid package screen.
Close the window by clicking on the red X on the
upper right hand corner of the fluid property
window.
SELECTING THERMODYNAMIC
MODEL
A logical procedure for deciding which model to use.
Use a decision tree as suggested by Elliot and Lira.
[see Elliot and Lira, Introduction to Chemical
Engineering Thermodynamics, Prentice Hall, 1999].
Property Packages in HYSYS allow you to predict
properties of mixtures (light hydrocarbons, oil
mixtures, non-ideal systems)
HYSYS provides enhanced equation of state (PR,
PRSV) for rigorous treatment of hydrocarbon
systems, steam correlation for accurate steam
properties prediction, activity coefficient models for
chemical systems.

ENTERING SIMULATION
ENVIRONMENT
Click on the Enter Simulation Environment
button or on the icon to begin your simulation
Note that HYSYS (unlike other simulation
packages) solves the flowsheet after each
addition or change to the flowsheet.
It is also capable of solving for information both
downstream and upstream.
Pay close attention to your flow sheet
specification to ensure that you are not
providing HYSYS with conflicting information.
When the basis of the simulation is to change,
the Simulation Basis Manager needs to be reentered.
SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT
OBJECT PALETTE
Go to Flowsheet pull down
Select Palette or Press F4 to display
the palette.
Object toolbar appears at the right
hand side of the view.
From this toolbar, you will add
streams and unit operations into your
simulations.
SPECIFYING MATERIAL
STREAMS
Double click on the stream to show the window for specifying.
Specify the details regarding material stream.
Four material stream parameters can be used as inputs,
specify the input variables (composition, flow rate, two from
temperature, pressure or vapour/phase fraction).
Warning yellow message bar at the bottom of the window
indicates what information is needed.
Specify temperature of stream by selecting condition option
from the List.
Enter a value in one cell.
Specify unit in the unit box cell; by clicking on the drop down
arrow.
Next specify pressure
Specify low rate (molar flow rate or mass flow rate)
A green message bar appears at the bottom 0f the window.
SPECIFYING MATERIAL
STREAMS
Royal blue colour of material stream on flow
sheet indicates that the stream is
completely specified and completely solved.
Light blue colour indicates incompletely
specified stream and properties not solved
for.
Specification and calculated properties for a
stream can be viewed and modified by
simply double clicking on the desired
stream.
CHALLENGES
Create one material stream that
contain water with the following
conditions:
Fluid package
