Description
Master Aspen HYSYS for Real Process Engineering Work
Aspen HYSYS is the industry standard for process simulation. It's used daily by engineers at ExxonMobil, Shell, Aramco, Chevron, and hundreds of EPCs and refineries worldwide. If you're entering the process industry — or already working in it — not knowing HYSYS is a gap that costs you opportunities.
This course closes that gap.
What this course actually is
This is not a software walkthrough. It's a structured engineering course that uses HYSYS as the tool to teach you how process systems behave, how simulations are built from the ground up, and how engineers use models to make real decisions.
Every module is built around a simulation you construct yourself — from setting up the fluid package to interpreting the results and knowing what to do when something doesn't work.
By the time you finish, you won't just know HYSYS. You'll know why you're doing what you're doing inside it.
What you'll learn, and why it matters
1. Interface and Workflow Fundamentals You'll learn how HYSYS is structured and how to navigate it efficiently. More importantly, you'll understand the simulation workflow — how streams, operations, and solvers connect — so you're not guessing when something breaks.
2. Property Package Selection This is where most beginners make their first serious mistake. Choosing the wrong thermodynamic model gives you results that look right but are wrong. You'll learn the logic behind package selection — Peng-Robinson vs. NRTL vs. Steam Packages — and when to use each one.
3. Steady-State Simulation Environment You'll build simulations in the steady-state environment from scratch. This includes defining feed streams, setting up unit operations, connecting the flowsheet, and getting the solver to converge cleanly.
4. Separators, Mixers, and Splitters The building blocks of almost every process plant. You'll model two-phase and three-phase separators, understand what drives separation, and learn how to use mixers and splitters to represent real plant configurations.
5. Heat Exchangers and Pumps You'll model shell-and-tube heat exchangers, set duty and temperature specifications, and understand the difference between a rating and a design run. Pump modeling covers head, efficiency, and what the curves tell you about operating conditions.
6. Reactor Simulation Covers conversion reactors, equilibrium reactors, and how to represent reaction systems when you don't have full kinetic data. You'll understand what each reactor model assumes and where those assumptions break down.
7. Logical Operations This is where simulations go from static models to useful engineering tools. You'll use
• Adjust — to hit a target by varying an input
• Design Specs — to meet process specifications automatically
• Set — to link variables across the flowsheet
• Spreadsheet — to calculate custom parameters and export results
These tools separate engineers who can run HYSYS from engineers who can actually use it.
8. Gas Processing Simulation A full simulation of a gas processing unit — one of the most common applications of HYSYS in the field. You'll model inlet separation, compression, and dehydration steps the way they appear in real plant flowsheets.
9. Propane Refrigeration Cycle A closed-loop refrigeration system modeled end-to-end. This module pulls together everything from earlier in the course — property packages, heat exchangers, compressors, separators — into a single integrated simulation.
10. Troubleshooting and Optimization Most courses end when the simulation converges. This one teaches you what to do when it doesn't — and how to push a working simulation toward better performance. You'll learn how to read solver messages, identify specification conflicts, and systematically debug a flowsheet.
Who this course is built for
• Final-year chemical engineering students who want to enter the job market with a skill that most graduates don't have
• Early-career process engineers who use HYSYS at work but were never formally trained on it
• Oil & gas and refining professionals who need to build or review simulations as part of their role
• Career switchers moving into process engineering from related fields
You do not need prior HYSYS experience. You do need a basic understanding of chemical engineering fundamentals — mass balances, thermodynamics, and unit operations at the undergraduate level.
Who this course is for
■ Chemical engineering students preparing to enter the process industry
■ Early-career process engineers who need structured HYSYS training
■ Oil & gas and refining professionals who build or review process simulations
