Course Overview
Aspen HYSYS is a comprehensive process modeling tool used by the world’s leading oil and gas producers, refineries, and engineering companies for process simulation and process optimization in design and operations. This course will focus on teaching participants how to use HYSYS software in order to model different oil and gas processes for design analysis. This software will also assist in evaluating the performance of existing oil and gas facilities, process equipment, and plants. Participants will complete the preliminary process of flow diagrams, mass and energy balance, and equipment sizing based on HYSYS operations. Participants will also learn how to extend objects that allow custom unit operations, kinetic reactions, and property packages to incorporate into HYSYS simulation. This course will also cover how to build, navigate, and optimize process simulations using HYSYS.
