Aspen HYSYS Reviews

.All possible scenarios are available and interface is too simple

As such there is nothing to dislike in Aspen environment

Great tool for simulation

Helps to get possible scenarios, get to know the sequencing of equipments

Aspen HYSYS is a versatile process simulator. You can simulate any chemical process with different cases. It has a wide range of thermodynamic packages and compounds are available for different needs. The specialized processes like amine, HF, and hydrogen correction can be embedded in the process to get more accurate results. Different types of optimization, sensitivity analysis, Thermophysical data, and curves can be obtained for a wide range of process parameters. Recycle option is there which is not available in aspen plus. Unit operations for refineries are available in HYSYS. Crude assay and petroleum characteristics are more relevant than other simulators. Energy optimization, capital cost estimators, and Pinch analysis can be done with just one click. The help menu is very useful to get the theory behind various options available.

The user interface and selection of thermodynamic packages are very confusing. One needs to be an expert in thermodynamics before doing any modification. For custom packages, primitive computer language like FORTRAN is used. Unlike open-source simulator DWSIM, Calculation steps and equations are hidden from the user.

If you are an expert and want to get an in-depth understanding of the process which is very near to the real plant use HYSYS only.

If you are a novice my suggestion would use another open-source easy-to-use software that builds a base for advanced simulation.

.I liked the most the designing and simulation of process plants and doing heat and mass balance for distillation column

Sometimes I am facing issue in simulation to drag and drop of equipment

Highly recommended to collegues for designing and simulation

Designing distillation column and reactor

Aspen-HYSIS is effective for steady state simulation majorly petroleum product

It is difficult and vast compared to other simulation softwares

Simulation of the SRU can enable more reliable operations and fewer shutdowns through the prevention of issues and quick and effective troubleshooting. In this paper, we present three common operational issues and show how simulation was used to prevent or quickly resolve the situation.

I like the speed up and slow down option availablity when we are using controo systems to look at the change in values of plant.

I think the initial speed of software could be a little better, since it takes good enough time for start up.

The control system speee up buttons are really good, and one should definitely try them.

I am trying to simulate my plant variables usinh

Aspen Hysys provides best and easy interface to simulate processes used in refinery operation. Along with that it also helps in sensitivity analysis and properties generation used in modelling.

Many times it abruptly stops working after not responding page and also the backup is not available thereafter. Run time error faced during simulation is also cumbersome at times.

Chemical engineering working in the area of process design must try this as it eases a lot of day to day stuff happening in refinery. User interface is also friendly and makes it easy for the new leraners to learn quickly.

Process simulation has been my main purpose of using Aspen Hysys. Physical parameter generation, process optimization, ecomoic analysis and efficiency check are the areas where I uses the most.

Most common processes can be easily modeled in this software.

Some advance process equipments need to be added in the software.

Some more advance equipments can be added in the model pallet.

Any process related to oil processing and refining can be easily simulated and modeled.

Aspen HYSYS Software is very useful software provided by aspen tech and it is best for simulation purposes especially for oil and gas processes. With this software, I do simulation on heat exchanger, distillation, compressor, absorber, pump, reactor and so many things and you can also find the property of the liquid and gas mixture at various parameter.also we can do the sensitivity analysis and optimisation.

Everything is fine about the Aspen HYSYS software, but sometimes it gives run time error and also taking a long time to run the simulation.

One should always try Aspen HYSYS Software one who looking for the process simulater which help you to understand the process plant, properties and effects of parameters.

Generally, using Aspen HYSYS I do simulation on various processes like distillation, Absorber, and heat exchanger and many more process units and also I can find properties of different compositions with different parameters. And process optimisation.

Advanced system in process engineering for Oil and Gas, Refineries, Fertilizer and services industries

Nothing to dislike in this valuable product.

Very easy to use software with friendly graphics.

Oil and Gas processing

Aspen HYSYS interface is very user-friendly. It is effortless to integrate with other tools such as Aspen EDR, MS excel. It has an extensive component database.

It needs some improvement in the visual representation part. Limited options are there to modify text inserted.

Aspen HYSYS is handy simulation software and simple to use in comparison to Aspen Plus.
