Process Simulation Using Aspen

Plus

Process simulation with Aspen Plus allows you to predict the behavior of a process using basic engineering relationships such as mass and energy balances, phase and chemical equilibrium, and reaction kinetics. Given reliable thermodynamic data, realistic operating conditions, and the rigorous Aspen Plus equipment models, you can simulate actual plant behavior. Aspen Plus can

help you design better plants and increase profitability in existing plants.

With Aspen Plus you can interactively change specifications, such as flowsheet configuration, operating conditions, and feed compositions, to run new cases and analyze alternatives. To

analyze your results, you can generate plots, reports, PFD-style drawings, and spreadsheet files.

Aspen Plus allows you to perform a wide range of additional tasks.

You can:

• Perform sensitivity analyses and case studies

• Generate custom graphical and tabular output

• Estimate and regress physical properties

• Fit simulation models to plant data

• Optimize your process

• Interface results to spreadsheets

• Share input and results among other Windows applications using OLE

Aspen Plus contains data, properties, unit operation models, built-in defaults, reports, and other features and capabilities developed for specific industrial applications, such as petroleum

simulation. For more information about industry-specific defaults and features, see Selecting a Template.
