Aspen Plus Master User Certification for Polymers Exam
An Aspen Plus Certified Master User for Polymers demonstrates the advanced knowledge and practical expertise required to build, analyze and troubleshoot complex process simulations using Aspen Plus with minimal guidance. Passing this master-level examination validates proficiency in advanced process simulation workflows, including polymerization modeling (chain growth and step growth), molecular weight distributions, reactor kinetics, thermodynamic model selection and calibration (including appropriate property methods for polymer systems), rate-based separations, global convergence strategies, and systematic troubleshooting of complex simulations. The certification also assesses the ability to apply Aspen Plus to sustainability challenges, including energy efficiency, industrial decarbonization, techno-economic evaluation, and carbon footprint analysis. A separate Master exam is also available for Aspen Plus for Batch Processes. |
