This paper presents a study on the data-driven modelling and optimisation of a crude oil hydrotreating process using bootstrap aggregated neural networks. Hydrotreating (HDT) is a chemical process that can be widely used in crude oil refineries to remove undesirable impurities like sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen, metal and aromatic compounds. In order to enhance the operation efficiency of HDT proce...

advanced exergy analysis is a tool to split the exergy destruction of the system to achieve a better perspective about the potentials of a system for improvements. in addition, the component interactions and their exergy destruction dependency with the other equipment are investigated through the advanced exergy analysis. for this purpose, it divides the exergy destruction calculated by convent...

Researchers often find the need to integrate commercial process simulators such as Aspen Hysys, Plus, PRO/II or others with their own applications. However, despite relevance of these tools, authors have found no systematic research on connection methodologies, a gap in literature that they aim address this work. The will study methodologies popular simulator Hysys four tools hold current poten...

The upgrading of low quality crude natural gas (NG) is attracting interest due to high demand of pipeline-grade gas in recent years. Membrane processes are commercially proven technology for the removal of impurities like carbon dioxide from NG. In this work, cross flow mathematical model has been suggested to be incorporated with ASPEN HYSYS as a user defined unit operation in order to design ...

In order to avoid carbon dioxide (CO2) built up in the atmosphere, the major source of global warming, CO2 capture must be applied to large point sources including natural gas processing. Membrane process, a relatively new technology among other available techniques, can be used for the purpose of CO2 capture from natural gas. Over the decades, the membrane performance has been described by dif...
