Course Description

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.

This is a "workshop-based" course, there is about 25% theory and about 75% work!

At the end of the course you will be able to handle crude oils for your fractionation, refining, petrochemical process simulations!

At the end of the Course:

You should be able to use and apply the relevant tools of the Oil Manager, the Physical Property Environment and the Petroleum Assays.

  • Model existing & non-existent components
  • Model crude oils based on raw/bulk properties such as density, TBP curves, viscosity, etc..
  • Graph TBP curves and other interesting properties
  • Verify Cuts for petroleum& crude oils in refining equipment
  • Blending of several crude oils
  • Install oils in the simulation environment

Emmanuel Ortega - ChemEngGuy

Hi there, I'm Emmanuel Ortega, aka Chemical Engineering Guy...

I've been in the Chemical Industry for about 5 years. I love applying all my knowledge learned in University to the Daily Engineering Life. From working in a Petrochemical Plant as a Process Plant Designer to working with textile material from Polyester Yarns; I could teach you a lot of how it is important to learn the Engineering subjects!

My Expertise:

  • Simulation and Optimization of Chemical Processes
  • Chemical Process Design
  • Plant Design & Operation
  • Heat Transfer Operations and Equipment Design
  • Separation Technologies
  • Automotive & Industrial Polyester Yarn Technologies
  • Online Tutoring, Online Education Management

Right now I'm preparing online material for Engineers all over the world. I have a dream in which online education will break all barriers and let Engineers all over the world learn easier and faster! Please join me in my quest!

The Courses I design are entirely dynamic. You will see theory and then apply it ASAP to a real life problem! I even use the books you are using right now in your engineering courses...

I'll see you in class!
