What do you like best about Aspen HYSYS?

Aspen HYSYS is a versatile process simulator. You can simulate any chemical process with different cases. It has a wide range of thermodynamic packages and compounds are available for different needs. The specialized processes like amine, HF, and hydrogen correction can be embedded in the process to get more accurate results. Different types of optimization, sensitivity analysis, Thermophysical data, and curves can be obtained for a wide range of process parameters. Recycle option is there which is not available in aspen plus. Unit operations for refineries are available in HYSYS. Crude assay and petroleum characteristics are more relevant than other simulators. Energy optimization, capital cost estimators, and Pinch analysis can be done with just one click. The help menu is very useful to get the theory behind various options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspen HYSYS?

The user interface and selection of thermodynamic packages are very confusing. One needs to be an expert in thermodynamics before doing any modification. For custom packages, primitive computer language like FORTRAN is used. Unlike open-source simulator DWSIM, Calculation steps and equations are hidden from the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspen HYSYS:

If you are an expert and want to get an in-depth understanding of the process which is very near to the real plant use HYSYS only.

If you are a novice my suggestion would use another open-source easy-to-use software that builds a base for advanced simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspen HYSYS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using aspen HYSYS for a better understanding of the effect of the process parameters on the chemical process. Hysys provide a range of studies to get in-depth knowledge of parameter vs variable. I realized that by using HYSYS, I can get a more in-depth view of process variable with changes in parameters. Help menu is there if i want to understand the theory behind the calculation which helps to get more insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspen HYSYS?

Aspen HYSYS Software is very useful software provided by aspen tech and it is best for simulation purposes especially for oil and gas processes. With this software, I do simulation on heat exchanger, distillation, compressor, absorber, pump, reactor and so many things and you can also find the property of the liquid and gas mixture at various parameter.also we can do the sensitivity analysis and optimisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspen HYSYS?

Everything is fine about the Aspen HYSYS software, but sometimes it gives run time error and also taking a long time to run the simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspen HYSYS:

One should always try Aspen HYSYS Software one who looking for the process simulater which help you to understand the process plant, properties and effects of parameters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspen HYSYS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Generally, using Aspen HYSYS I do simulation on various processes like distillation, Absorber, and heat exchanger and many more process units and also I can find properties of different compositions with different parameters. And process optimisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many times it abruptly stops working after not responding page and also the backup is not available thereafter. Run time error faced during simulation is also cumbersome at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspen HYSYS:

Chemical engineering working in the area of process design must try this as it eases a lot of day to day stuff happening in refinery. User interface is also friendly and makes it easy for the new leraners to learn quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspen HYSYS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Process simulation has been my main purpose of using Aspen Hysys. Physical parameter generation, process optimization, ecomoic analysis and efficiency check are the areas where I uses the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To optimize the Gas Dehydration unit and to the study of "Tri-ethylene Glycol" loss in the process of GDU. with the help of this software I found the specific reason of losing the quantity of 'TEG' (Tri-ethylene glycol) during Gas dehydration process . This software made me able to optimize the whole 'GDU' unit for controlling the "TEG" loss during GDU process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
