Workshop
Separation of light products is present in any Hydrocarbons
operations. In this module, a column will be modeled to
separate Light and heavy components from each other using a
distillation column with 12 trays.
Learning Objectives
Once you have completed this section, you will be able to:
Add columns using the Input Experts.

Example:
We need to separate a mixture of five paraffins into light and heavy
fraction by using a distillation column with 12 trays, a full reflux
condenser, and a Kettle reboiler.
The feed stream (1000 lbmol/hr) consists of 3% (mole %) ethane, 20%
propane, 37% n-butane, 35% n-pentane and 5% n-hexane at 225
o
F and
250 psia, which enters the column on the sixth tray, counting from the
top. The condenser and reboiler pressures are 248 and 252 psia,
respectively. The preliminary design specifications require a reflux ratio
of 6.06 and a vapor overhead product of 226 lbmol/hr. Subsequently,
the design is modified to ensure propane overhead flow of 191 lb
mol
/hr
and n-butane bottom flow of 365 lb
mol
/hr.
Use SRK Fluid Pkg

Let's go to the monitor page and see the current specifications:
We must make 2 specifications active to make the DOF=0.0 and to
converge the column.
The two specifications are the target that you want to achieve from the
column.
Although the column is converged, it is not always practical to have
vapor rate & reflux ratio specifications. These specifications can result in
columns which cannot be converged or that produce product streams with
undesirable properties if the column feed conditions change.

An alternative approach is to specify either component fractions or
component flow rates for the column product streams.
Now we have to give the column another 2 new specifications to run with
(more practical)
1- Propane overhead flow of 191 lb
mol
/hr
2- Butane bottom flow of 365 lb

Workshop
The petroleum characterization method in HYSYS will convert laboratory
analyses of condensates, crude oils, petroleum cuts and coaltar liquids
into a series of discrete hypothetical components. These petroleum hypo
components provide the basis for the property package to predict the
remaining thermodynamic and transport properties necessary for fluid
modeling.
HYSYS will produce a complete set of physical and critical properties for
the petroleum hypo components with a minimal amount of information.
However, the more information you can supply about the fluid, the more
accurate these properties will be, and the better HYSYS will predict the
fluid's actual behavior.
In this example, the Oil Characterization option in HYSYS is used to
model a crude oil. The crude is the feed stock to a Pre-heat Train,
followed by the Atmospheric Crude Column, which will be modelled in a
subsequent module.
Learning Objectives
Once you have completed, you will be able to use the Oil
Characterization option in HYSYS.

and viscosity curves, referred to as Working Curves.
To characterize the assay follow the following steps:
1- Go to Oil Manager.
2- Click on Input Assay & then Click Add button:

Once the Assay is calculated, the working curves are displayed on the Plots
and Working Cu r v e s tabs. The working curves are regressed and
ext rapolat ed from the Assay input. From the user-supplied data, HYSYS
generates curves for NBP, molecular weight, mass density, and viscosity.
These working curves are used in determining the properties of the hypo
components generated in the Blend step.

Workshop
Atmospheric Crude Columns are one of the most important pieces of
equipment in the petroleum refining industry. Typically located after the
Desalter and the Crude Furnace, the Atmospheric Tower serves to distil
the crude oil into several different cuts. These include naphtha, kerosene,
light diesel, heavy diesel and AGO.
In this module, you will construct, run, analyze and manipulate an
Atmospheric Crude Column simulation. You will begin by building a
simple column and continue by adding side operations to the column.
Learning Objectives
Build and converge an Atmospheric Crude Column.
Use HYSYS to analyze and predict the behavior of a simulated
column.
Add side operations to a column to improve operation and
efficiency.
Add cut point specifications to increase side product quality and
quantity.

Atmospheric Distillation
A feed stream from the pre-heat train is fed to the 28

Absorber with 29 trays and a partial condenser to separate Off Gases,
Naphtha and Bottom Residue. A steam stream (vapor fraction =1.0,
pressure =1380 kPa and flowrate=3400 kg/hr) is fed to the bottom of the
tower to provide the necessary heat. A water draw stream is required to
remove the condensed steam from the overhead condenser. The tower is

Workshop
In this example, a simple distillation column to separate Tetrahydrofuran
(THF) from Toluene is simulated. The object of the exercise is to select
the product specifications such that profit is maximized. A special tool in
HYSYS, the Optimizer, will be used to find the optimum operating
conditions.
HYSYS includes additional modelling and decision support tools that can
be used to enhance the usability of your models. In this module, you will
use the HYSYS optimization tool available in HYSYS to investigate the
debottlenecking and optimization of a crude column.
Learning Objectives
Once you have completed this section, you will be able to:
Use the Optimizer tool in HYSYS to optimize flowsheets

and 140 kPa is to be separated by distillation to get each of them with
purity of 99.5 mass% of THF & 94 mass% of Toluene (THF is the more
volatile component).

Workshop
Recovery of natural-gas liquids (NGL) from natural gas is quite common
in natural gas processing. Recovery is usually done to:
- Produce transportable gas (free from heavier hydrocarbons which
may condense in the pipeline).
- Meet a sales gas specification.
- Maximize liquid recovery (when liquid products are more valuable
than gas).
Aspen HYSYS can model a wide range of different column configurations.
In this simulation, an NGL Plant will be constructed, consisting of three
columns:
De-Methanizer (operated and modeled as a Reboiled Absorber column)
De-Ethanizer (Distillation column)
De-Propanizer (Distillation column)
Learning Objectives
Once you have completed this section, you will be able to:
Add columns using the Input Experts.
Add extra specifications to columns.

It's required to process a crude natural gas to remove the heavier hydrocarbons from it
thus the composition of it would be suitable for transportation by passing the crude
gas which comes from two different wells to three towers: De-Methanizer, De-
Ethanizer and De-Propanizer.
The first well at (-140 oF, 330 psia and flow rate of 3575 lbmol/hr) have the following

There's also an energy supplied to the De-Methanizer of (2e6 BTU/hr) which is used
to improve the efficiency of the separation.
The De-Methanizer (reboiled absorber) has the following specifications:
- Feed 1 Material Stream enters the column from the top stage inlet
- Feed 2 Material stream enters from the 2nd stage
- Ex-duty Energy Stream enters from the 4th stage

methane is 0.96

Most of methane is removed from the top of the tower and the bottom
stream is pumped to 2790 kpa then it enters to the De-Ethanizer
(distillation Column) where most of the ethane in the crude is taken as an
overhead product then it is processed to use in different applications.

Then the bottom product is sent to a valve where the pressure of it
decrease to 1690 kpa, the outlet flow from the valve is sent to a de-
propanizer (distillation Column) where most of propane is removed from
the top and the heavier hydrocarbons is removed from the bottom

Part 1: De- Methanizer Column
The De-Methanizer is modeled as a reboiled absorber operation, with two feed
streams and an energy stream feed, which represents a side heater on the column.
- Add an Energy stream with the duty = 2.1 e6 kJ/hr
- Double-click on the Reboiled Absorber icon on the Object Palette.
De-Methanizer Specs:
- Feed 1 Material Stream enters the column from the top stage inlet
- Feed 2 Material stream enters from the 2nd stage
- Ex-duty Energy Stream enters from the 4th stage
- Number of stages = 10
- Top Stage pressure = 330 psia
- Reboiler pressure = 335 psia
- Top Stage temperature = -125

- Ovhd Prod Rate = 2950 lbmole/hr (1338 Kg/hr)
- C1 fraction in the Ovhd stream = 0.96

Although the column is converged, it is not always practical to
have flow rate specifications. These specifications can result in
columns which cannot be converged or that produce product
streams with undesirable properties if the column feed conditions
change.
An alternative approach is to specify either component fractions
or component recoveries for the column product streams.
