SIMULATION
The simulation work is carried out using Aspen HYSYS v11 With 7 components and two
fluid packages.
optimization, business planning, asset management, and performance monitoring for oil and
gas production, gas processing, petroleum refining, and air separation industries. Aspen
HYSYS is a core element of Aspen Tech's aspen ONE® Engineering applications. It has vast
importance for chemical engineers to simulate a process (Mondal et al., 2015). Aspen
HYSYS has established itself as a very intuitive and easy to use process simulator in oil and
gas refining industry. It has efficient workflow for process design, equipment sizing, and
preliminary cost estimation. The program also provides a very flexible and easy to use
enables users to build and use their models quickly and effectively. Aspen HYSYS offers a
transport properties, and phase behaviour for the oil and gas and refining industries.
Comprehensive library of unit operation models including distillation, reactors, heat transfer
operation, rotating equipments, controllers and logical operations in both the steady state and
dynamic environments (Ambar et al., 2012). Process simulation is used for the design,
chemical plants and chemical processes, but also to power stations, and similar technical
biological, and other technical processes and unit operations in software Basic prerequisites
are a thorough knowledge of chemical and physical properties (Mondar et al., 2015).
HYSYS is chosen as all the components used are liquid and present in HYSYS.
Peng-Robinson and NRTL were used for the modelling. Majority of the process is modelled
using the Peng-Robinson fluid package. For the purification system in particular, the liquid
phase separation between methanol and water is modelled using the Non-random two-liquid
