1. Adjust massflow of related stream
to achieve volume flow correspond to
inventory calculation
2. Mix those stream,
the result is as BASIS COMPOSITION
3. Balance it to initial pressure condition,
the result is as BASIS SIMULATION
4. Tool/ Utilities
or CTRL+U *)
The higher the initial pressure,
the grater the flowrate load to
flare..

Automatically calculated
by HYSYS
But , You can manually
fill to apply some margin
of total inventory volume
keep as it is
HYSYS will adjust vessel size both Diameter and Height so that both
the total and liquid volume are correct correspond to the input value.
Is it difficult to achieve that volume ? As a matter of fact, it is not.
Actually, the real problem is, the wetted area based on HYSYSs
vessel size is not equal with the actual wetted area.

Fill Pb = 0
For initial value, Pb =0
If the vapor flow equation is SUBSONIC ,
the value should be updated based on
flareNet study result.
# Pb has no significant effect for other
vapor flow equation.
See table below !
Select : Musoneilan
See table below !, it shows the result of
sensitivity test for each vapor flow
equation method.
Fill Cf = 1
It is critical flow factor, generally the
value close to 1.0
Ex : 0.90 , 0.94
Cf = 1 for worst case of peak flow

The method selection has no significant effect to the result (peak flow)
Now, you can choose one of the method with no worry about the result,
personally , I prefer using MUSONEILAN In my opinion, Musoneilan is the most simple and easy to be used.
DONT use SUBSONIC if the system is not in sub-critical condition

its OK
The fact, the fluid is released to flare. The pressure of the system is correspond
to the back pressure . Therefore, the final pressure is slightly above atmospheric

Aspen HYSYS does not take the volume of the vessel heads into account so the volume will be the liquid in the
cylindrical portion only.
Aspen HYSYS defaults the volume to be equal to the volumetric flow of the feed BASIS SIMULATION. This
will be disproportionate to the total volume inventory calculation where the certain margin volume is applied.
Aspen HYSYS defaults the height and diameter vessel in accordance with the volume. This may be
disproportionate to the actual total wetted area calculation.
At present, Aspen HYSYS does not have the option for jet fire case where the heat flux is more than 21.000
BTU/hr ft^1.64. The method of spreadsheet can be used to model jet fire case.
API recommends depressuring to the lower of 50% of the initial pressure or 100 psig / 6.9 barg.
PV work term
gas-filled systems
80% to 100%
liquid filled systems 40% to 70%
A higher efficiency results in a lower final temperature
If one is checking that the minimum temperature of the vessel will not fall below a certain value (for example,
for validating the steel alloy grade), and then 100% will give the most conservative result.
