ASPEN HYSYS

a chemical process simulator used to mathematically

model chemical processes, from unit operations to full
chemical plants and refineries.
A market leading process modeling tool for conceptual
design, optimization, business planning, asset
management, and performance monitoring for oil and
production.
 Use of a computer program to
quantitively model the characteristic
equation of a process in terms of
material and energy stream.
HYSYS CAN:

✓ Estimate physical properties and VLEs.

✓ Simulate many types of equipment
(pumps, compressors etc.)
✓ Perform material and energy balances.
✓ Equipment design
✓ Cost estimation
PROS AND CONS
OF ASPEN HYSYS
Advantages Disadvantages
• Very powerful data base • The Graphic and interface is
weaker than Unisim
• Can handle very complex
processes • The kinetic and models must
defined for simulation
• It can cover complex industrial
processes • In some cases it is hard to
converge
