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 ...

The deodorization of the refined palm oil process is simulated here using ASPEN HYSYS. In the absence of a library molecular distillation (MD) process in ASPEN HYSYS, first, a single flash vessel is considered to represent a falling film MD process which is simulated for a binary system taken from the literature and the model predictions are compared with the published work based on ASPEN PLUS ...

This study performs the simulation and energy, exergy, economic analyses of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) integrated with a natural gas combined cycle. Working fluids studied in this research are ammonia, isobutane, R-11, R-113, R-141b. The power plant ORC simulated using Aspen HYSYS software. results show that leads to improvement thermo-economic indexes plant. sensitivity analysis also demon...

In the present paper, Mathematica, the famous computer algebra, is used to perform steadystate and dynamic simulations of a multi-component distillation column. In order to describe the vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) relationships and to compute the vaporand liquid-phase enthalpies, the Soave Redlich Kwong equation of state (SRK EOS) is chosen. Rigorous modeling is performed where both mass and...

The modified Claus process is characterized by several problems, namely poor instrumentation and no precise kinetic model for predicting the behaviour of the reactors. Using operational data of an industrial plant, this paper proposes a general framework for development of a plant-wide simulation model for modified Claus process based on simultaneous data reconciliation and parameter estimation...

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...

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...

This study investigates the performance of co-firing palm kernel shell (PKS) and pulverized coal in a steam power cycle. The process simulation software Aspen Hysys was used simulation. analyzed various emitted combustion product gases. cycle efficiency Power output for each fuel sample blend carried out. provided basis comparison sample. Sample D with mix ratio 80 (coal)-20 came out best havin...
