Aspen HYSYS - Petroleum Assays and Oil Characterization

About Course

Learn how to setup hypothetical compounds, oil assays, blends, and petroleum characterization using the Oil Manager of Aspen HYSYS in this free online course on Plant Simulation. This comprehensive course covers a wide range of topics including:

Hypothetical Compounds (Hypos)
- Estimation of hypo compound data
- Models via Chemical Structure UNIFAC Component Builder
- Basis conversion/cloning of existing components
Input of Petroleum Assay and Crude Oils
- Typical Bulk Properties (Molar Weight, Density, Viscosity)
- Distillation curves such as TBP (Total Boiling Point)
- ASTM (D86, D1160, D86-D1160, D2887)
- Chromatography
- Light End
Oil Characterization
- Using the Petroleum Assay Manager or the Oil Manager
- Importing Assays: Existing Database
- Creating Assays: Manually / Model
- Cutting: Pseudocomponent generation
- Blending of crude oils
- Installing oils into Aspen HYSYS flowsheets
Getting Results (Plots, Graphs, Tables)
- Property and Composition Tables
- Distribution Plot (Off Gas, Light Short Run, Naphtha, Kerosene, Light Diesel, Heavy Diesel, Gasoil, Residue)
- Oil Properties
- Proper
- Boiling Point Curves
- Viscosity, Density, Molecular Weight Curves

This course is ideal for students, teachers, engineers, and researchers in the field of R&D, particularly those in the Oil and Gas or Petroleum Refining industry. This “workshop-based” course offers a balance of 25% theory and 75% practical work, ensuring you gain hands-on experience. By the end, you will be equipped to handle crude oils for your fractionation, refining, and petrochemical process simulations.
