Exporting tuned simulation vectors into linear programming tools like Aspen PIMS to bridge the gap between plant floor engineering and economic planning.

EHY2102 is an advanced training module provided by AspenTech that centers on the application of HYSYS for petroleum refining. Unlike general process modeling courses, EHY2102 focuses specifically on the unique challenges of the oil industry, such as characterizing heavy, complex feedstocks, modeling atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, and optimizing downstream processes like FCC units or hydrotreaters. ehy2102 aspen hysys petroleum refiningunit o

: The software splits the heavy oil fractions into discrete "hypothetical" or pseudo-components characterized by unique boiling points, molecular weights, and critical properties. : The software splits the heavy oil fractions

The foundation of any Unit O simulation is the crude oil assay. Aspen Hysys allows users to input laboratory data (such as TBP, ASTM D86, or Light Ends analysis) to characterize the oil. EHY2102 emphasizes the importance of accurate fluid packages—specifically or Braun K-10 —to ensure the thermodynamics of the hydrocarbon mix are modeled correctly. 2.

The future of petroleum refining is likely to involve increased use of digital technologies, such as process simulation and optimization software, to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Aspen Hysys and EHY2102 will continue to play a key role in this trend, enabling engineers to design and operate refineries that are more efficient, profitable, and sustainable.

The objective of this report is to outline the capabilities, workflow, and specific applications of (including the Petroleum Refining package) for simulating key refining units such as:
