Aspen Plus - Basic Process Modeling

Learn how to model Basic Industrial and Chemical Processes!

What you'll learn
Model basic chemical processes
Simulate basic industrial processes
Understand the concept of Flowsheet and Manipulate it
Set up the required/basic inputs for a Simulation
Choose the most adequate Method for Physical Properties Modeling
Be able to model the most important/used Unit Operations
Modify all reporting results in order to make analysis
Requirements
Chemical Engineering Basics
Elementary Principles of Plant Operation/Design (Recommended)
Aspen Plus (Version 7 at least)
Description
The BASIC Aspen Plus Course will show you how to model and simulate Processes (From Petrochemical, to Ammonia Synthesis and Polymerisation). 
Analysis of Unit Operation will help you in order to optimise the Chemical Plant. 
This is helpful for students, teachers, engineers and researchers in the area of R&D and Plant Design/Operation.
The course is didactic, with a lot of applied theory and Workshops/Study cases.
At the end of the course you will be able to setup a simulation, run it, get results and more important, analysis of the process for further optimisation.
