Welcome to the HYSYS 2.2 general release. This version of HYSYS includes new features and improvements to version
2.1.
Neural Networks, HYSYS.RTO, AXSYS, and HYSYS.ECONOMIX are now available as fully integrated HYSYS tools,
in both HYSYS.Process and HYSYS.Plant. These optional plug-ins can be used to further extend the functionality of
your HYSYS package, thereby increasing the power of your simulation and the extent of your process understanding.

1.1 New Functionality/Improvements in HYSYS.Process and HYSYS.Plant
1.2 New Functionality / Improvements in HYSYS.Plant
2 Neural Networks
3 HYSYS.RTO
4 HYSYS.Economix
5 AXSYS
A Parametric Unit Operation has also been added that may be trained from plant data or other "raw" data sources.
If you are interested in learning more about the available neural network capability, contact your AEA-Hyprotech
representative.
3 HYSYS.RTO
The optimization and data reconciliation routines used by HYSYS.RTO for real-time on-line optimization are available as
optional plug-ins within HYSYS 2.2. HYSYS.RTO combines two proven technologies: rigorous first principal models
and thermodynamic methods from HYSYS, with optimization and data reconciliation routines from RTO, developed by
MDC Technology.
If you are interested in the RTO capabilities of HYSYS, contact your AEA-Hyprotech representative.
4 HYSYS.ECONOMIX
ECONOMIX is an optional extension to HYSYS that integrates sizing, design and costing capabilities into HYSYS. This
is the first release of the anticipated integrated process simulation and evaluation application from AEA Technology and
its partner, ICARUS. ECONOMIX combines AEA Technologies in-dept process understanding with ICARUS' costing
repository, KbaseTM technology, in one common application. ECONOMIX provides an intuitive environment that is fully
interactive with HYSYS.Process or HYSYS.Plant that can readily be used to do process design economic optimization on
either an entire flowsheet or on an individual simulation object. Now a process may be simulated, sized, designed, and
evaluated all in the same environment. ECONOMIX is a collection of modules assembled to combine the best-of-breed
equipment selection rules, sizing, and other rule based utility modules developed internally by AEA Technology with
ICARUS KbaseTM technology into one integrated package.
Some of the major features available with ECONOMIX are highlighted below:
5 AXSYS
AXSYS is an integrated, multi-user, front-end engineering design environment, which links to HYSYS, cost estimating
applications, and equipment design packages such as HTFS. AXSYS automatically develops Process Flow Diagrams
(PFDs)and Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs) based on configurable design rules and logic. It also provides
seamless integration with Microsoft Excel and other standard desktop applications for data entry and reporting. The
AXSYS multi-user database provides change management and configuration capabilities to manage complex project
needs as well as providing the capabilities to easily share project information over the web.
