Dehydration units are often overdesigned, resulting in high capital or

operating costs. In order to ensure design options meet the necessary

requirements of saving capital, solvent or energy costs, thermodynamic
modeling and a holistic view of operations is needed. This paper discusses
the dehydration modeling technology available with Aspen HYSYS in V10
and above. Aspen HYSYS has historically employed the glycol property
package for TEG. With the addition of the Cubic-Plus-Association (CPA)
package in V10, Aspen HYSYS can be used to model dehydration with TEG,
MEG and DEG.
