Petroleum Assay Management: Characterization, Manipulation and Utilization of Petroleum Assays in Aspen HYSYS

In this hands-on workshop, you will use the Petroleum Assay Management tools and learn the modeling techniques for petroleum characterization in Aspen HYSYS. Using the Assay Management Wizard, you will add assay data for a petroleum stream. Conventional and molecular characterization procedures will be used to generate the hypothetical components to represent petroleum streams. You will learn how the Petroleum Feeder, Assay Manipulator, and Product Blender can be used to change properties of the characterized assays and to mix petroleum streams and material streams.

Audience:

  • Process engineers who need advanced skills for more complex modeling tasks
  • Current Aspen HYSYS users looking to build upon their knowledge of basic steady-state procedures

Approach

  • Instruction on key topics
  • An experienced instructor will select an appropriate order in which to present the modules
  • Discussion about the general approach and the key elements for successful simulations
  • Instructor-guided demonstrations of various features
  • Comprehensive modeling-based workshops covering all key course topics

Tasks

  • Fundamental concepts: Manually add distillation data, characterize the assay using the conventional and the new Molecular Characterization procedures. Plot the estimated properties of the cuts and check the trends.
  • Mix and match assays: Use the characterized assay in flowsheet and mix with material streams. Shift properties such as the pour point, viscosity etc. to the desired values.
  • Gasoline Blending: Use the product blender to optimize blending of different gasoline streams to achieve a target property parameter value such as the RON.
  • Petroleum Column: Add a Petroleum Distillation Column to model crude fractionation.
