Subject: Process Simulation of Refining Operations using Aspen HYSYS
EHY2102 is a specialized training course from AspenTech titled "Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining: Process Modeling and Optimization for Refinery Unit Operations." It is designed for engineers who need to build, calibrate, and optimize high-fidelity refinery models to maximize profitability and operational efficiency. 🛠️ Core Course Objectives ehy2102 aspen hysys petroleum refiningunit o
The inclusion of "petroleum refining unit" and the trailing "o" (possibly meaning "optimization" or "operations") suggests that this training is not just about building a simulation—it is about operational optimization. Graduates of an EHY2102-equivalent course should be able to: Report: EHY2102 – Application of Aspen HYSYS in
Hydrocracking & Catalytic Reforming: Advanced workshops on simulating these units to improve the quality of high-octane gasoline and middle distillates. Predict unit steady‑state performance
: Monitor over 140 properties (such as octane number, sulfur content, and viscosity) across the entire flowsheet. Integrate with Planning : Perform workflows to make model data readable by Aspen PIMS for plant-wide optimization and planning. Improve Convergence
The Main Column: Select the Atmospheric Column sub-model. Define the number of stages (typically 25–50) and include side strippers for products like Kerosene and Diesel to meet flash point specifications.
The course is typically a 3-day intermediate-level program. For those following the "Aspen HYSYS" learning path, it usually follows the introductory EHY101 Process Modeling course and is often paired with advanced topics like EHY202 Advanced Solutions specific unit
