Aspen HYSYS Dynamics

Integrated dynamic simulation of oil and gas, gas processing, petroleum refining, and other industry processes
Aspen HYSYS Dynamics extends Aspen HYSYS steady-state models into dynamic process models, enabling design and verification of process control schemes, safety studies, relief valve sizing, failure analysis, and development of startup, shutdown, and operating mode changes.

Understand Dynamic Plant Behavior for Better Plant Control

Understanding the process is the first step in the design of an effective control strategy. To prescribe a solution, the process control engineer must analyze all variables, process dynamics, and units interactions. First-principle models (steady-state and dynamics) provide a better understanding of the process dynamics and its interactions, and enable engineers to evaluate and tune strategies before implementation. Using dynamic simulation early in the design phase can help identify important operability and control issues, and influence the design accordingly. Aspen HYSYS Dynamics has been successfully used in basic control studies, advanced control studies, operability studies, and safety /HAZOP studies. Companies are able to meet tighter product specifications through improved understanding of plant operability issues, ensure faster and safer plant start-ups, and avoid unplanned downtimesresulting in maximum plant availability and productivity.

Reported Benefits
$15 million savings through improved and faster start-up procedures. $10 million capital cost savings by avoiding over-design of relief systems. Improved safety through better operational procedures, improved control system design, and proper relief-valve sizing. Better design decisions through detailed analysis of the trade-offs between process operability and process integration

Key Technical Features

Easy conversion of steady-state Aspen HYSYS models, enabling leverage of modeling efforts across multiple engineering activities. Comprehensive unit operations include distillation, reactions, heat transfer operations, rotating equipment, controller, and logical operations. The unit operation models support multiple levels of detail in equipment geometry or configuration to increase the level of fidelity (e.g., operator training systems). Pressure-flow dynamics provides quick and accurate simulation of real-world dynamic behavior and is able to handle various situations such as vessel emptying or overflowing. Enhanced functionality such as cause-and-effect matrices and an event scheduler, which are ideal for start-up/shut-down sequencing and flowsheet automation. OLE automation/ActiveX compliance permits the integration of user-created unit operations, proprietary reaction kinetic expressions, and specialized property packages. Dynamics extensibility allows for increased simulation functionality through seamless integration of proprietary custom unit operation models.
