The more information you can supply about your sample, the more accurate the representation. ‘There are three steps involved in characterizing any oil in Aspen HYSYS: 1. Characterize the assey. 2. Generate hypocomponents. 3. Install the oil in the flowsheet. Characterize the Assay ‘The assay contains all ofthe petroleum laboratory data, boiling poiat curves, light «nds, property curves, and bulk properties. Aspen HYSYS uses the supplied assay <2ca to generate internal TBP, molecular weight, ad density end viscosity curves (Geferred 10.5 Working Curves). Assay Types Accurate volatility characteristics are vital when representing 2 petroleura fluid in ‘your process simulation. Aspen HYSYS accepts the following standard laboratory ‘analytical assay procedures: + True Boiling Point (TBP), Performed using a mubi-stage batch fractionation apparatus operated at relatively high refine ratios. TBP isi the characterization, + ASTM D86, Distiliation emplo nor-refluxed Engler flasks. Generally used for light to medium petroleum ‘luids.

A common set of assay fractions i not use for both te dstilation eurve and the physical property curve. Dependent Assay Basis. A common set of assay fractions is used for both the distillation curve and the physical property curve. ‘As you supply more information to Aspen HYSYS, the accuracy ofthe petroleum Characterization increases. Supplying any or all ofthe bulk molecular weigk, bulk: density, or bulk Watson K factor will increase the accuracy of your hypocoimponent properties.
