Aspen HYSYS - Petroleum Assays and Oil Characterization

Learn how to setup petroleum assays, hypothetical compounds and use the oil manager tools in Aspen HYSYS

This is course on Plant Simulation will show you how to setup hypothetical compounds, oil assays, blends, and petroleum characterization using the Oil Manager of Aspen HYSYS.

You will learn about:

Hypothetical Compounds (Hypos)
Estimation of hypo compound data
Models via Chemical Structure UNIFAC Component Builder
Basis conversion/cloning of existing components
Input of Petroleum Assay and Crude Oils
Typical Bulk Properties (Molar Weight, Density, Viscosity)
Distillation curves such as TBP (Total Boiling Point)
ASTM (D86, D1160, D86-D1160, D2887)
Chromatography
Light End
Oil Characterization
Using the Petroleum Assay Manager or the Oil Manager
Importing Assays: Existing Database
Creating Assays: Manually / Model
Cutting: Pseudocomponent generation
Blending of crude oils
Installing oils into Aspen HYSYS flowsheets
Getting Results (Plots, Graphs, Tables)
Property and Composition Tables
Distribution Plot (Off Gas, Light Short Run, Naphtha, Kerosene, Light Diesel, Heavy Diesel, Gasoil, Residue)
Oil Properties
Proper
Boiling Point Curves
Viscosity, Density, Molecular Weight Curves
This is helpful for students, teachers, engineers and researchers in the area of R&D, specially those in the Oil and Gas or Petroleum Refining industry.
