Introduction to Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining

1.1 Introduction to Aspen

HYSYS Petroleum Refining

Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining (formerly known as RefSYS) is based on the flowsheet capabilities of HYSYS (use of partial information, bi-directional of information, and so forth). Existing HYSYS simulation cases can be leveraged in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining adding petroleum assays information and specific refinery unit operations.
In order to run Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining features, you have to install both Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining and Aspen Properties, and have the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining license.
For more information on the petroleum assays, refer to Chapter 2 Petroleum Assay.

The key concept of Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is the petroleum assay. A petroleum assay is a vector that stores physical properties and assay properties for a specific component list. Physical properties include all properties used in a typical HYSYS simulation case. Assay properties comprise refinery related properties as cloud point, octane numbers, flash point, freeze point, sulphur content, PONA distribution, GC data and etc. A component list typically consists of library components (for instance, methane to n-pentane) and pseudocomponents (hypothetical components). Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is based on a flexible structure so that no pre-defined list of pseudo-components is required. Moreover, existing lists of pseudo-components created by the HYSYS Oil Environment can be used in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining. Each component stores a value of a physical and assay property. The assay properties are usually imported from an assay management system, as for instance, CrudeManager from Spiral Software Ltd. At the Simulation Environment, each stream may have its own petroleum assay, that is, the physical and assay properties of components on one stream may differ from other streams. Bulk values for assay properties are calculated using specific lumping

rules. When process streams are mixed together on any HYSYS or Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining operation, a new petroleum assay is created and special blending rules are employed to recalculate the physical and assay properties. This unique architecture allows the simulation of refinery-wide flowsheets using one single component list - resulting in optimal speed performance on calculations. Moreover, the propagation of those properties allows the integration of reactor models, since the required properties are available at the feed stream to the reactor unit. The various components that comprise HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining provide an extremely powerful approach to refinery simulation modeling. At a fundamental level, the comprehensive selection of operations and property methods allows you to model a wide range of processes with confidence. Perhaps even more important is how the HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining approach to modeling maximizes your return on simulation time through increased process understanding. The key to this is the Event Driven operation. By using a degrees of freedom approach, calculations in HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining are performed automatically. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining performs calculations as soon as unit operations and property packages have enough required information. Any results, including passing partial information when a complete calculation cannot be performed, is propagated bidirectionally throughout the flowsheet. What this means is that you can start your simulation in any location using the available information to its greatest advantage. Since results are available immediately - as calculations are performed - you gain the greatest understanding of each individual aspect of your process. The multi-flowsheet architecture of HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is vital to this overall modelling approach. Although HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining has been designed to allow the use of multiple property packages and the creation of pre-built templates, the greatest advantage of using multiple flowsheets is that they provide an extremely effective way to organize large processes. By breaking flowsheets into

Introduction to Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining

smaller components, you can easily isolate any aspect for detailed analysis. Each of these sub-processes is part of the overall simulation, automatically calculating like any other operation. The design of the HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining interface is consistent, if not integral, with this approach to modelling. Access to information is the most important aspect of successful modelling, with accuracy and capabilities accepted as fundamental requirements. Not only can you access whatever information you need when you need it, but the same information can be displayed simultaneously in a variety of locations. Just as there is no standardized way to build a model, there is no unique way to look at results. HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining uses a variety of methods to display process information - individual property views, the PFD, Workbook, Databook, graphical Performance Profiles, and Tabular Summaries. Not only are all of these display types simultaneously available, but through the object-oriented design, every piece of displayed information is automatically updated whenever conditions change. The inherent flexibility of HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining allows for the use of third party design options and custom-built unit operations. These can be linked to Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining through OLE Extensibility. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining also offers an assortment of utilities which can be attached to process streams and unit operations. These tools interact with the process and provide additional information. All standard HYSYS unit operations are explained in the HYSYS Operations Guide and Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining unit operations are explained in this guide. The unit operations can be used to assemble flowsheets. By connecting the proper unit operations and streams, you can model a wide variety of refinery processes. Included in the available operations are those which are governed by thermodynamics and mass/energy balances, such as Heat Exchangers, Separators, and Compressors, and the

logical operations like the Adjust, Set, and Recycle. A number of operations are also included specifically for dynamic modelling, such as the Controller, Transfer Function Block, and Selector. The Spreadsheet is a powerful tool, which provides a link to nearly any flowsheet variable, allowing you to model special effects not otherwise available in HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining.

Common Property Views

In modelling operations, HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining uses a Degrees of Freedom approach, which increases the flexibility with which solutions are obtained. For most operations, you are not constrained to provide information in a specific order, or even to provide a specific set of information. As you provide information to the operation, HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining calculates any unknowns that can be determined based on what you have entered. For instance, consider the Pump operation. If you provide a fully-defined inlet stream to the pump, HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining immediately passes the composition and flow to the outlet. If you then provide a percent efficiency and pressure rise, the outlet and energy streams is fully defined. If, on the other hand, the flowrate of the inlet stream is undefined, HYSYS/Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining cannot calculate any outlet conditions until you provide three parameters, such as the efficiency, pressure rise, and work. In the case of the Pump operation, there are three degrees of freedom, thus, three parameters are required to fully define the outlet stream. All information concerning a unit operation can be found on the tabs and pages of its property view. Each tab in the property view contains pages which pertain to a certain aspect of the operation, such as its stream connections or physical parameters (for example, pressure drop and energy input).

1.2 Common Property Views

Introduction

2.1 Introduction
In refinery, the typical crude oil stream consist of the following characteristic: A continues mixture of many naturally occurring hydrocarbons with boiling points ranging from -160C (Methane) to more than 1500C. Heavy fractions that are not mixtures of discretely identifiable components. These heavy fractions are often lumped together and identified as the plus-fraction starting from C7+ to C12+.

A proper description of the physical properties of the plusfractions is essential for reliable phase behaviour calculations and compositional modelling studies. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining contains a data base that you can use to store and calculate the physical and petroleum properties of the crude oil stream. This data base is called a petroleum assay. A petroleum assay is a vector that stores physical properties and assay properties for a specific component list. Physical properties include all properties used in a typical HYSYS simulation case. Assay properties comprise refinery related properties as cloud point, octane numbers, flash point, freeze point, sulphur content, PONA distribution, GC data and etc. A component list typically consists of library components (for instance, methane to n-pentane) and pseudo-components (hypothetical components). Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is based on a flexible structure so that no pre-defined list of pseudo-components is required. Moreover, existing lists of pseudo-components created by the HYSYS Oil Environment can be used in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining. Each component stores a value of a physical and assay property.

The assay properties are usually imported from an assay management system, as for instance, CrudeManager Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining Link from Spiral Software Ltd. At the Simulation Environment, each stream may have its own petroleum assay, that is, the physical and assay properties of components on one stream may differ from other streams. Bulk values for assay properties are calculated using specific lumping rules. When process streams are mixed together on any HYSYS or Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining operation, a new petroleum assay is created and special blending rules are employed to recalculate the physical and assay properties.
If you do not have the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining license, you cannot create or import a petroleum assay using the options in the Petroleum Assay Manager property view.

You can create a petroleum assay using the options in the Petroleum Assay Manager property view or the Oil Manager tab. The differences between the petroleum assays created in Petroleum Assay Manager and Oil Manager are listed in the following table:
Oil Manager Each petroleum assay have its own component list. Property values are not calculated based on blending rule, because each assay has its own component list. Enables you to modify a few petroleum properties. Simplified option to characterize a petroleum assay. Petroleum Assay Manager One component list is shared among multiple assays. Contains blending rule equation for more accurate calculation.

Enables you to modify more petroleum properties. Advanced option to characterize a petroleum assay.

Introduction

2.1.1 Centroid Point


In Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining, the centroid boiling point of the cuts, represented by hypocomponents initial boiling points (IBPs) and final boiling points (FBPs), and their yields are calculated by: 1. Plotting the boiling point curves of the cuts in the crude oil stream versus their yields. 2. Each cut is identified by an initial and final boiling point temperature. 3. The centroid point is the boiling point temperature associated with the mid percent-yield of the corresponding cut. The mid percent-yield is the half-way % volume point between the % volume of the initial and final boiling point. Refer to the figure below:
Figure 2.1

FBPn

The final boiling point temperature is assigned as the hypocomponents boiling point temperature. The centroid boiling point is used to estimate the physical properties of the component.

Petroleum Assay Manager Property

Refer to Appendix A.4 Comma Separated Value Files for more information on CSV files. Refer to Appendix A.5 Petroleum Assay XML Files for more information on XML files.

Comma Separated Value File imports a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file. The CSV file is a simple structured data file. The file contains a table of components, and the components molecular weight, normal boiling point, specific gravity, and petroleum properties. XML File imports an XML file. The XML file contains the name of the petroleum assay, description, created date, last modified date, a list of components available, and the molecular weight, normal boiling point, specific gravity, and petroleum properties of each component.

Refer to PIMS for more information on PIMS file.

PIMS Format imports a PIMS assay table file. The PIMS file contains all the necessary assay data, much like the CSV file. However the PIMS data variable string tag is different than Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining data variable string tag. So Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining needs to map its variables to PIMS variables. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining imports the following information from the petroleum assay: Components. If there is no list of components or the default component list is incomplete, Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining creates a new list of components based on the components in the imported petroleum assay. Fluid Package. If the existing fluid package does not contain the same component list as the imported petroleum assay or there are no fluid package, Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining automatically creates a new fluid package with Peng-Robinson as the default property package and attaches a new component list based on the imported petroleum assay. (To change the property package of the new fluid package, open the Fluid Package property view and select a different property package.) Physical Properties. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining imports the following three critical physical properties: molecular weight, centroid boiling point, and specific gravity. The rest of the physical properties are calculated based on the three critical properties.

Converting an H/CAMS assay to PIMS format


There is no direct import for H/CAMS data. However, you can use CAL/LINK or PIMS to generate a PIMS assay file, and then import the PIMS file into Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining. If you do not license either program, you can develop a PIMS or .csv format file in a manual editor. You must make some minor edits to the PIMS file output from Cal-II, and create an .sdb mapping file for the PIMS to Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining import. Here is the workflow for creating and converting the Cal-II output file: In Cal-II 1. Create slate of components. 2. Identify properties of interest. 3. Generate the PIMS file from Cal-II In a text editor: Open the Cal-II PIMS file. Using an SPG line as an example, the Cal-II line format looks like this: SPGR01;Specific Gravity;0,7405 1. Remove any lines with the property value of na. 2. Use search and replace to change all of the commas ( , ) to dots, and all of the semicolons (;) to commas: SPGR01,Specific Gravity,0.7405 3. Make sure each property name begins with the correct PIMS tag. If there is no PIMS tag, add a PIMS tag. If there is a PIMS tag, but it is different from that recognized by Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining, then replace the PIMS tag with an Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining PIMS tag. Current valid PIMS tags are listed in the file [install dir]\paks\PIMSAssay.sdb. Usually the valid PIMS tag is the existing string with a leading I added, for example:

ISPGR01;Specific Gravity;0,7405 Notable exceptions are CutTemperature with a PIMS tag of IFVTR, Mass Fraction with a PIMS tag of WBAL and Volume Fraction with a PIMS tag of VBAL. 4. Save the file with a .csv extension, and close. Now you must prepare the .sdb file to import along with the PIMS file. 1. Open the [install dir]\paks\PIMSAssay.sdb string table file. See Section - PIMS Assay Import Additional Steps above for a description of the sections of this file. 2. Save the file to a new name. 3. Check the following factors: If you have a user assigned tag not present in the .sdb file, enter it with a text description in the first section. Make sure every Component name has a description. If there is no description, the component will not be passed in the import process. At minimum, the value must be Optionally, append unit-correcting strings to the end of the file if the assay was stored using unit strings other than those Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining recognizes. See Section - PIMS Assay Import Additional Steps and Section 2.4 - Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining Unit Tags for more information 4. Save the file with an .sdb extension and close. You can now import the .csv file as a PIMS assay in the normal way. See Section 2.2.5 - Importing Petroleum Assays.

Importing HYSYS Assays


An Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining petroleum assay contains an option that enables you to re-use assay information from old HYSYS cases and place them into an Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining petroleum assay. There are two ways of importing the assay information: You can import the assay into a petroleum assay while keeping the original component list from the old HYSYS case. You can import the assay information from the old HYSYS case and apply the information to a new component list.

You cannot re-use/import the blending information from an old HYSYS assay into an Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining petroleum assay. The blend/cut information is always recalculated during the import process (using the predefined component list).

The imported HYSYS assay information does not contain any petroleum property information. So after you have imported the HYSYS assay into a petroleum assay, you can supply the petroleum property data using the Crude Manager or Edit Properties option in the Information Tab of the Petroleum Assay property view.

Keeping the Original Component List


To import the HYSYS assay information into an Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining petroleum assay, while keeping the existing component list from the old case: 1. Open a HYSYS case with existing HYSYS assay. 2. Enter the Simulation Basis Environment.

The sum of the percentage values in each wide cut GC data column cannot surpass 100. An error message appears if your GC components are not in MW order, but this error does not stop the calculation.

PONA Tree Diagram


When defining GC component data, there are several different levels which you can supply the values. There is the group component level, where you supply a general value applicable to a group of components, for example Aromatics for C8. There is the sub group component level, where you supply a specific value for each component in the group component, for example Aromatics for C8 m-Xylene. The general number of component groups and sub groups are shown in the PONA tree diagram (see Figure 2.27). If you supply values at a component group level, you cannot define any information in the sub group level, and vice versa. For example, if you define N C6, you cannot define N C6 cycC5 or N C6 cyc-C6. If you define a component data at sub level you cannot define N C6.

The Petroleum Assay Property View

In the Estimation Methods property view, you can select different estimation method (using the appropriate dropdown list) for the properties in the Assay Properties Estimation list. The first column in the Assay Properties Estimation table displays the list of components in the petroleum assay. The Values column displays the current component values of the selected petroleum property. These values are specified by you in the Information tab or imported from the petroleum assay properties files (*.csv, *.pet, *.xml, and Spiral). The Estimated column displays the component values of the selected petroleum property if they were to be estimated. The Aniline Point, MON (Clear), Refractive Index, and Sulfur Content are estimated using methods from the following documents:

The Accept button allows you to discard the current component values and replace them with the estimated values.

If the estimated value is <empty>, HYSYS was unable to calculate an estimate value. If you tried to accept the estimated value one of two events occur:

If the current value is also <empty>, HYSYS leaves the selected petroleum property value as unknown. If the current value is not <empty>, HYSYS leaves the selected petroleum property value as the current value.

Introduction

3.1 Introduction
The Assay Manipulator allows you to change the petroleum assay properties of a material stream, without the need to supply any theoretical equations or calculations to obtain the property values. The common reasons to change the petroleum assay property values are: HYSYS does not have an operation that simulates a piece of equipment, in the actual plant, which changes the petroleum assay properties. There are no petroleum assay data that mimic the actual petroleum assay curves. The output petroleum properties of a HYSYS operation does not imitate the output petroleum properties from an actual plant operation. There is a need to conduct a sensitivity analysis on the simulation plant to see if a slight change in petroleum properties will affect the quality of the products.

Assay Manipulator supplies two ways to modify the petroleum assay properties: Change properties. In this option, you can modify values of an individual petroleum property (for example, sulfur content of a hypothetical component). Shift properties. In this option, you can specify a target bulk value of a petroleum property in the stream (for example, the RON of a stream), and the assay manipulator automatically adjusts the values of all the individual petroleum properties to meet the new bulk value.

4.1 Introduction
The Reformer model in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is a state-of-the-art Catalytic Naphtha Reformer Unit simulation system that can be used for modeling a CCR or Semiregenerative reformer unit as a standalone unit operation or as part of a refinery-wide flowsheet. The Catalytic Reformer operation includes feed characterization system, reactor section, stabilizer and product mapper. The reactor section includes reactors, heaters, compressor, separator, and recontactor. The reactor model is based on rigorous kinetics. The feed characterization system and product mapper are designed to work together with the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining assay system so the Reformer model can be simulated in a refinery-wide flowsheet.

Introduction

Feed Characterization System


The Reformer within Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining has its own set of library and hypothetical components. The table below list the components for the Catalytic Reformer environment:
Hydrogen Methane Ethane Ethylene Propane Propene i-Butane n-Butane 1-Butene i-Pentane n-Pentane O5* Cyclopentane 22-Mbutane 23-Mbutane 2-Mpentane 3-Mpentane n-Hexane O6* Mcyclopentan Benzene Cyclohexane 22-Mpentane 23-Mpentane 24-Mpentane 2-Mhexane 3-Mhexane 3-Epentane n-Heptane O7* 11Mcycpentan Ecyclopentan Toluene Mcyclohexane MBP8* SBP8* O8* n-Octane 5N8* E-Benzene o-Xylene m-Xylene p-Xylene 6N8* IP9* n-Nonane 5N9* A9* 6N9* IP10* n-Decane 5N10* A10* 6N10* IP11* n-C11 5N11* A11* 6N11* P12* N12* A12* P13* N13* A13* P14* N14* A14*

The hypothetical component names can be interpreted by identifying the prefix with the component type and the suffix with the carbon number. The prefix component types are: O: Olefin MBP: Multi-branch paraffin SBP: Single-branch paraffin 6N: 6-Carbon Ring Naphthenic IP: Isoparaffin (no distinction on number of branches) 5N: 5-Carbon Ring Naphthenic A: Aromatic P: Paraffinic (no distinction on isomer type) N: Naphthenic (no distinction on number of carbons in ring)

These components are either used directly in the kinetic reactor model or they are easily mapped into the components used within the kinetic reactor model. The transition between the Main Environment and the Catalytic Reformer Environment will handle the calculation of the composition of the Reformer components. In order to do this, however, you must specify the feed type. The feed type will specify the ratios of various isomers within the feed to the

Reformer. These ratios, along with the distillation and PONA data from the attached inlet stream will be used to calculate the Reformer component compositions.
Feed Component Ratios nP5 /Total C5 Ratio Normal P6 / Total P6 Ratio MB P6 / Total P6 Ratio MCP / [MCP+CH] Ratio Normal P7 / Total P7 Ratio MB P7 / Total P7 Ratio iP5 /Total C5 Ratio N10 N5/[N5+N6 Ring] Ratio iP11 / Total P11 Ratio N7 N5/[N5+N6 Ring] Ratio Normal P8 / Total P8 Ratio MB P8 / Total P8 Ratio N8 N5/[N5+N6 Ring] Ratio iP9 / Total P9 Ratio N9 N5/[N5+N6 Ring] Ratio iP10 / Total P10 Ratio N11 N5/[N5+N6 Ring] Ratio

In the Catalytic Reformer Environment, you have more options for calculating the composition of the feed. The you can calculate the composition based on a boiling range of an assay, based on the specified bulk properties, or based on the specified the kinetic lumps. For the assay option, you select an assay to associate with the feed. The feed type is specified along with the initial and final boiling point to generate a composition of the feed. For the bulk properties option, you specify the feed type along with distillation data and total naphthenics and aromatics in the feed. For the kinetic lumps option, you specify the feed type along with the composition of the components that is desired. You may optionally input a value for N+2A or N+3A to adjust the composition. If no value is entered for either N+2A or N+3A, the composition entered will be used directly.

The component names can be interpreted by identifying the prefix with the component type and the suffix with the carbon number. The prefix component types are: P: Paraffinic (no distinction on isomer type) O: Olefin 5N: 5-Carbon Ring Naphthenic MBP: Multi-branch paraffin SBP: Single-branch paraffin NP: Normal paraffin 6N: 6-Carbon Ring Naphthenic IP: Isoparaffin (no distinction on number of branches) A: Aromatic N: Naphthenic (no distinction on number of carbons in ring)

Reaction Kinetic - Expressions


The reaction kinetic expressions for the Reformer are power law rate expressions based on concentrations. Here the dehydrogenation reaction is used as an example to illustrate the reaction kinetic expressions used to model these reactions.
CycloHexane Benzene + 3 H2 Rate = Activity k f ( [ 6 N 6 ] [ A 6 ] [ H 2 ] K eq ) PF where: Activity = product of catalyst activity, metal site activity, and dehydrogenation specific activity kf = Arrhenius form of the forward reaction rate multiplier [6N6], [A6], [H2] = concentration of cyclohexane, benzene, and hydrogen Keq = Arrhenius form of the rate equilibrium factor PFx = pressure factor, default x=0.02 for dehydrogenation

Deactivation of Reformer Catalyst


Reformer catalyst is a bifunctional catalyst, and the catalyst activity definition used in modeling must include separate terms for the metals and acid functions. The activity of the catalyst in a reformer is a function of several factors, a few of these are: 1. Coke laydown on the catalyst 2. Water/Chloride environment 3. Temporary poisons such as sulfur 4. Permanent poisons such as lead, zinc, and copper 5. Catalyst surface area 6. Platinum crystal size 7. Sintering 8. Shift from gamma alumina to alpha alumina 9. Catalyst breakage

Introduction

Items #5 through #9 are basically mechanical changes in the catalyst and occur primarily during catalyst regeneration. These mechanical changes in the catalyst, which effect activity, can only be accounted for through direct analysis of the catalyst or indirectly from measurement of plant operation. Fortunately, to predict reformer operation on an on-going basis, these changes can be lumped together in the deactivation model and thus do not create a problem in the reaction modeling. Permanent catalyst poisons such as those listed in item #4 are normally very gradual and can be handled with routine activity model updates, using the same lump mechanism used for items #5 through #9. When a significant quantity of permanent poison is deposited on the catalyst over a short period of time, the deactivation model will need to be updated from plant operating data. This is true provided the unit will remain in service. In most cases where a significant quantity of a permanent poison is deposited on the catalyst, the reformer is taken off line and the catalyst replaced. The changes in catalyst performance due to the factors listed in items #4 through #9 require that the Reformer model be updated after each catalyst regeneration of semi-regenerative units, and every 6 to 12 months for cyclic and continuous catalyst circulation units. Temporary sulfur poisoning will need to be addressed in the Reformer deactivation model. The difficult aspect of this will be determining how much of a change in catalyst activity is due to the temporary poison and how much is due to another mechanism. Once the quantity of sulfur is known, the prediction of activity recovery will be very straightforward. The effect of coke laydown on activity creates two areas of major concern. The first is the actual prediction of coke laydown, and the second is estimating the impact of coke deposition on catalyst activity. The following sections describe how these are handled in the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining Reformer model.

Coke Make Model


There are several theories on coke laydown, one or more of them may be correct. The general concept with the greatest acceptance is that coke is formed from the condensation of polycyclic hydrocarbons. A second generally accepted concept is that polycyclics are formed from an intermediate olefin created primarily during the cyclization (and to some degree during isomerization) of naphthenes from paraffins, and from aromatics. The diagram below is a schematic of the coke make mechanism.
Figure 4.3

Because the reaction rate of C6 ringed naphthenes to aromatics is extremely high, it can be safely assumed that very little coke is made from C6 ringed naphthenes. Also, the extremely low concentrations of naphthenes (both C5 ringed and C6 ringed) in the second and subsequent reactors, make it nearly impossible to generate accurate rate data from experimental data. Correlations of laboratory measurements of coke make and paraffin of C5 ringed naphthene concentration are further confused by the fact that the paraffins and naphthenes are existing in equilibrium, and the concentrations of both species decrease dramatically through the reactor systems. This is particularly true of the C9 and heavier material where: the vast majority of the coke originates

Introduction

both species approach zero concentration in the last reactor where the majority of the coke is formed.

Literature reports give the reaction rates of the paraffin/ naphthene intermediate olefin in terms of the paraffin (or paraffin and naphthene) concentration. For commercial catalytic reformer modeling purposes, it can be assumed that the coke make is a function primarily of the C5 ring naphthenes and aromatics. Coke make in the Reformer is modeled via the reaction of paraffins, C5 ringed naphthenes, and aromatics to coke via a first order reaction mechanism. All C5 ringed naphthenes share a common activation energy as do the aromatics and paraffins. The frequency factors vary by carbon number and species. Each reactor has a coke make activity, as well as a total coke make activity for all reactors. The reaction rate is in the general form:
EP -----------RT EN -----------RT EA -----------RT

k P = A S A RXI F Pi e k N = A S A RXI F Ni e k A = A S A RXI F Ai e where:

(4.2)

kP = rate factor of paraffins, carbon number i to coke kN = rate factor of C5 ringed naphthenes, carbon number i to coke kA = rate factor of Aromatic, carbon number i to coke AS = Coke Activity of the Reactor System ARXI = Coke Activity of the individual Reactor FNi, FAi = Frequency Factors for C5 ringed naphthenes and aromatics, carbon number i EN, EA = C5 ringed naphthenes and Aromatics activation energies

The rate factors are then used in the reaction equations in the following general format:
dC ------ = ( k P [ TotalP ] + k N [ Total 5 N ] + k A [ TotalA ] ) PF H 2 HCF dt where: dC ------ = coke/time dt kP = Paraffin to coke rate factor [TOTALP] = concentration of total paraffins kN = C5 ringed naphthene to coke rate factor [TOTAL5N] = concentration of total C5 ringed naphthenes kA = Aromatics to coke rate factor [TOTALA] = concentration of total aromatics PF = factor to adjust for changes in pressure H2HCF = factor to adjust for changes in H2/HC ratio

(4.3)

Each feed has an associated coke make multiplier. Default values are 1.0. This allows you to put a linear weighting on feeds with higher or lower coking tendencies than the base feed stock. This term is a simple multiplier on the coke rate expressions.

Catalyst Activity Model


Catalyst activity is divided into a metals activity and an acid activity. These activities affect the reaction mechanisms as shown in the following table:
Reaction Type Isomerization Ring Closure/Open Ring Expansion Dehydrogenation Hydrogenolysis - Para Acid X X X X X X X Metal Pressure Multiplier X X

Acid X X X

Metal X

Pressure Multiplier X X

Also shown in the table above are the reaction mechanisms that are affected by pressure changes. The acid and metals activities are independent functions of carbon on catalyst (COC) expressed as percent of catalyst. The general form for both the acid and metals activity functions is:
2

Activity = Intercept + Poly 1 COC + Poly 2 COC + 3 4 Poly 3 COC + Poly 4 COC

(4.4)

System Pressure Control


The pressure points through the system are all based upon a single specified pressure. For the Catalytic Reformer in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining this is the product separator pressure. The Catalytic Reformer uses a modified Bernoulli equation to calculate the following pressure drops based upon the base case pressure drops and flowing conditions and the specified flowing conditions: Product Separator to last Reactor Outlet Last Reactor Outlet to Last Reactor Inlet Last Reactor Inlet Pressure to Reactor(i) Inlet Pressure Reactor(i) Inlet Pressure to Reactor(i+1) Inlet Pressure First Reactor Inlet Pressure to Compressor Discharge

Reactor Temperature Control


The reactor inlet temperatures are calculated based upon the delta inlet temperature entered for each reactor. In this model a base temperature is used as a reference temperature for biasing the individual reactor inlet temperatures.
Reactor(i) Inlet Temperature = Base Temperature + Reactor(i) Temperature Bias (4.5)

This allows any one of the following to be a constant and the severity target: Base Temperature WAIT WABT RON for C5+ or C6+ Aromatics Production

Stabilizer Configuration
The stabilizer is a conventional rigorous tower simulation using the HYSYS Petroleum Tower model. A vapor and liquid draw are taken off the overhead receiver, and the reformate off the reboiler.

Parameter General Kinetic Calibration Factors

Description The General Kinetic calibration factors enable you to adjust the activities for a specific reaction type (using the activity for the reaction type) or to adjust the reactions rates of all reactions simultaneously (using the Global Activity). The Activity Profile Constants enable you to adjust the activity profile through a reactor. The only real valid reason for adjusting the Activity Distribution is to match measured internal reactor temperatures. Great care must be taken in this effort to insure that the exact locations of internal thermocouples are known. It is not recommended to tune to internal temperatures unless duplicate thermocouples are located in the beds at the same levels but in different quadrants of the reactor.

5.1 Introduction
The Hydrocracker model in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is a state-of-the-art Hydrocracker Unit simulation system that can be used for modeling a single-stage, two-stage Unicracker, or two-stage Isocracker hydrocracker unit as a standalone unit operation or as part of a refinery-wide flowsheet. The Hydrocracker unit operation includes feed characterization system, reactor section, recycle gas loop(s), product separation, and product mapper. The reactor model is based on rigorous kinetics. The feed characterization system and product mapper are designed to work together with the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining assay system so the Hydrocracker model can be simulated in a refinery-wide flowsheet.

5.1.1 Feed Characterization System

An N followed by a number indicates the number of naphthenic rings in a component. An A followed by a number indicates the number of aromatic rings in a component. An ANA indicates two aromatic rings separated by a naphthenic ring. An S in a compound indicates a sulfidic structure followed by a number indicating the number of carbon atoms. Medium (M) components ending with LO have 14 carbon atoms, medium components ending with HI have 18 carbon atoms. Heavy (H) components have 21 carbon atoms. Vacuum Resid (V) components have 47 carbon atoms.

These components are either used directly in the kinetic reactor model or mapped into the components used within the kinetic reactor model. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining provides a transition command between the main flowsheet environment and the Hydrocracker subflowsheet environment to handle the calculation of the composition of the Hydrocracker components. In order to use the transition command, you must specify a feed type. The feed type will specify a base composition of components in the kinetic reactor model basis. This base fingerprint, along with the distillation, gravity, sulfur content, nitrogen and basic nitrogen content, and bromine number can be used to generate the composition of the kinetic lumps used by the model. In the Hydrocracker subflowsheet environment, you have more options for calculating the composition of the feed. For example, you can calculate the composition based on a boiling range of an assay by specifying bulk properties or by specifying the kinetic lumps.

Introduction

For the assay option, you can select an assay to be associated with the feed. The feed type is specified along with the initial and final boiling point to generate a composition of the feed. For the bulk properties option, you can specify the feed type along with distillation data, gravity, sulfur content, nitrogen and basic nitrogen content, and bromine number. You can optionally input data for refractive index, viscosity, and Ca content. For the kinetic lumps option, you can specify the feed type along with the composition of the components that is desired. You can also enter a bromine number to generate the inlet composition of olefins in the feed.

5.1.2 Reaction Kinetics


The reactor model in the Hydrocracker model in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is based on rigorous kinetics. There are 97 components in the reaction network and 177 reaction pathways. The components and reaction networks are consistent with typical Hydrocracking reactions.

Components
The component slate chosen to represent the feed and the product streams of the Hydrocracker plant is comprised of 116 components covering the full range from hydrogen to hydrocarbons with 47 carbon atoms (B.P. 1300 C). In the reactor model, the 19 olefin components are assumed to be completely saturated in the first reactor bed. These olefins are saturated in an Aspen extended reaction block before the kinetic model for the first reactor bed. The Aspen extended reaction block calculates the enthalpy of reaction for the olefin saturation. This heat is distributed through the first reactor bed. This method reduces the number of components throughout the reactor section in order to improve the model performance. The Component Slate for the Hydrocracker Reactor Model table shows the corresponding components in the reactor model. The total number of components in the reactor model is 97.

The Component Slate for Hydrocracker Model only in the feed table shows the corresponding olefin components in the feed but not in the reactor model.

The light ends will be defined using discrete components through C3. For C4 to C10 hydrocarbons, one pure component is used to represents several isomers. For example, the n-butane represents both n-butane and iso-butane. For higher boiling point components, only compounds with carbon number 14, 18, 26, and 47 are used to represent a wide range of boiling point components. The components also cover different classes of hydrocarbons that include one-ring naphthenics to 4-ring aromatics. The 13 sulfur components are separated into 8 groups: thiophenes, sulfides, benzothiophenes, tetrahydrobenzothiophenes, dibenzothiophenes, tetrahydrodibenzothiophenes, naphthabenzothiophenes, and tetrahydronaphthabenzothiophenes. The nitrogen compounds are represented by 10 components that include both basic and non-basic nitrogen compound.

Introduction

Dealkylation and HDS for unhindered sulfur lumps

The figure below shows the importance of modeling aromatics saturation reversible.
Figure 5.1 Hydrocracker Example for Aromatics Crossover

Above a certain temperature, equilibrium effects start to outweigh kinetic effects, and additional saturation becomes difficult. This temperature-dependent aromatics crossover causes the degradation of middle distillate properties - kerosene smoke point and diesel cetane - near the end of hydrocracker catalyst cycles.

The figure below illustrates the importance of including both hindered and unhindered sulfur components in the reaction scheme.
Figure 5.2 Reaction Pathway Illustration: Sulfur-Containing Components

As discussed in recent publications: aliphatic sulfur compounds are relatively easy to remove with hydroprocessing thiophenes, benzothiophenes, and dibenzopthiopenes are somewhat more difficult substituted benzo- and dibenzothiophenes are very hard to remove.

In the Direct Mechanism for the hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene: Dibenzothiophene adsorbs to the catalyst surface The catalyst abstracts sulfur Biphenyl desorbs from the catalyst surface Hydrogen removes sulfur from the catalyst as H2S

Alkyl substitution of dibenzothiophene at the 4-position, the 6position - or both - sterically hinders this pathway. Before these hindered molecules can be desulfurized, they must first be saturated (which converts a planar aromatic ring into a more flexible saturated ring) or dealkylated.

Introduction

As shown in the previous figure, the reaction scheme for the Hydrocracker in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining prohibits direct desulfurization of 4,6-alkyl dibenzothiophenes. The figure below reflects this feature of the models.
Figure 5.3 Hydrocracker Example of H2 Consumption vs. Product Sulfur

As the extent of desulfurization increases, hydrogen consumption rises geometrically, in part because the model requires alternative HDS pathways for substituted dibenzothiophenes, and in part because at the higher required temperatures other saturation and cracking reactions are accelerated.

Reaction Kinetic Expression


Rate equations are based on the Langmiur-Hinshelwood (adsorption-adsorption/reaction/ desorption) mechanism. H2S inhibits HDS reactions, and both NH3 and organic nitrogen inhibit acid-catalysed reactions. For each reaction type, an adsorption term is calculated as a multiplier for the rate expression. Each reaction type is first order with respect to the hydrocarbon and each reaction type has a unique order for hydrogen. There are also a set of activity factors that affect various reactions based on the type of reaction and the boiling point of the component.

Introduction

Deactivation of Hydrocracker Catalyst


The Hydrocracker model includes a deactivation model which allows the model to predict the number of days remaining in a catalyst cycle. The deactivation is a function of the severity, the amount of multi-ring aromatics in the feed, and the H2 partial pressure of the system. The user specifies the number of days in service and the weight average boiling point (WABP) for the end of the cycle.

System Pressure Control


For the Hydrocracker in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining, the user always specifies the High Pressure Separator pressure and the pressure for the recycle gas loop compressors. The pressures are calculated backwards from the High Pressure Separator based on specified pressure difference.

Reactor Temperature Control


The Hydrocracker model in Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining allows the user to control the severity of the reactors in a variety of ways: Specify the inlet temperature for each reactor bed. Specify the outlet temperature for each reactor bed. Specify the WABT (weight average bed temperature) for each reactor bed. Specify the WART (weight average reactor temperature) for each reactor and the temperature difference rise between each bed within each reactor. The nitrogen in the effluent from reactor 1 can be used instead of the WART for reactor 1. Similarly, the conversion and bottoms flow can be used instead of the WART's for reactors 2 and 3.

When you select the checkbox, the Validation Wizard view of the selected data set appears. The Validation Wizard property view displays the mass flows of feed and product streams (derived from the input data), and coke flow and wt% hydrogen in coke (calculated using air rate and flue gas analysis). The information displayed enables you to analyse the measurement data before accepting the data set for the calibration run. If the total product mass rate is greater than the total feed mass rate by about 2-3%, you should review the flow rate and gravity information of the products. If you think the error is acceptable, you can decide how you would like to distribute the mass imbalance by assigning the bias to any of the product streams (except coke). Once the bias is assigned, the Validation Wizard adjusts the mass flow of the selected product stream(s) to match the feed total mass by re-normalization. If the coke flow and wt% hydrogen in code values are not reasonable, the air rate measurement and flue gas analysis should be reviewed before calibration is run.

In the Coke and Sulfur Balance group, you must specify the following values for the Calibration of coke and sulfur balance: Wt% feed sulfur in code (default = 5%) Wt% coke from stripper (default = 15%) Stripper efficiency (default = 75%)

Introduction

6.1 Introduction
The Petroleum Column provides users with the capability to model columns in a refinery. The Petroleum Column has been specifically designed to help users with solving the following problems: Simulation of a Petroleum Column for a wide range of crude oils within an optimization or gradient generation scenario. In this situation, the column needs to be simulated over and over again, and the column should converge quickly and consistently in all scenarios. Manually calibrate the Petroleum Column from plant data.

If you require significant internal details of the column such as vapor-liquid traffic or temperature profiles matching very closely to plant data, or if you are interested in extreme flexibility in the specifications or the topology of the column, you need to use the standard HYSYS column.

The focus of the Petroleum Column is to model the imperfect separation of crude and other feeds that occur in the refining industry as possible. The modeling of imperfect fractionation plays a very important role in overall refinery economics. Conversely the focus is not to use the tool as a detailed design tool. The Petroleum Column model has the following capabilities: Allows one feed. Allows you to place reboiled or steam-striped sidestrippers. Allows you to place pump-arounds. Allows you to specify the flow-ratio of each product with respect to the feed, or the TBP cut-point of a product with respect to the feed. Calculates the composition, distillation curves, temperature and flow for each of the products. Calculates the petroleum properties for each of the products of the Petroleum Column. Calculates pump around duties.

The Petroleum Column supports the use of two solution strategies: Zone-by-zone and Stage-by-stage.

6.1.1 Petroleum Column Conventions


Column Tray Sections, Overhead Condensers, and Bottom Reboilers are each defined as individual unit operations. Condensers and Reboilers are not numbered stages, as they are considered to be separate from the Tray Section.
By making the individual components of the column separate pieces of equipment, there is easier access to equipment information, as well as the streams connecting them.

The following are some of the conventions, definitions, and descriptions of the basic columns:
Column Component Tray Section Stages Description A HYSYS unit operation that represents the series of equilibrium trays in a Column. Stages are numbered from the top down or from the bottom up, depending on your preference. The top tray is 1, and the bottom tray is N for the top-down numbering scheme. The stage numbering preference can be selected on the Connections page of the Design tab on the Column property view. The overhead vapour product is the vapour leaving the top tray of the Tray Section in simple Absorbers and Reboiled Absorbers. In Refluxed Absorbers and Distillation Towers, the overhead vapour product is the vapour leaving the Condenser. The overhead liquid product is the Distillate leaving the Condenser in Refluxed Absorbers and Distillation Towers. There is no top liquid product in simple Absorbers and Reboiled Absorbers. The bottom liquid product is the liquid leaving the bottom tray of the Tray Section in simple Absorbers and Refluxed Absorbers. In Reboiled Absorbers and Distillation Columns, the bottom liquid product is the liquid leaving the Reboiler. An Overhead Condenser represents a combined Cooler and separation stage, and is not given a stage number.

6.2 Petroleum Column Theory


The Petroleum Column has two methods to solve and converge the column: Zone-by-zone and Stage-by-Stage.

6.2.1 Zone-By-Zone Method


The Zone-by-zone solution strategy is based on fractionation indices and has the following features: Applicable over a very wide range of feeds. Consistent between simulation and calibration. Moderately accurate beyond the region of calibration.

For example:
Consider a simple distillation column with one feed and two products only. For near ideal systems such as hydrocarbon systems, it is possible to correlate the distillate and bottoms flow as shown in the figure below:
Figure 6.1

If one plots the quantity ln(Di/Bi) vs. NBPi for each component i, the plot is typically bilinear.
where: Di = molar component flow of component i in the distillate Bi = molar component flow of component flow of component i in the bottoms NBP = normal boiling point of the component

The slope of the curve signifies the extent of imperfect fractionation. As S tends to zero, there is virtually no separation, and inversely as S tends to negative infinity, the separation is almost perfect. The position of the curve horizontally is decided by the overall distillate and bottoms flow distribution. HYSYS assume that the slopes of the curves drawn above are only a characteristic of the structure of the column, and are independent of the feed or the pressure or other operating conditions. This assumption enables HYSYS to calculate the product composition of the distillate and bottoms streams, for a wide range of feed conditions. Furthermore, HYSYS assume that all Petroleum Columns are in indirect sequence of simple columns. Based on these assumptions the composition of the streams coming out of each sections of the column can be calculated using the following equations described below: For each section:
d N, i 1 ------------------ln b N, i = D, N ( NBP i ) + K D, N 1 = ---------( NBP i ) + K B, N B, N f N, i = d N, i + b N, i DN =

The sections are numbered from bottom of the column to the top of the column.

The above system of equations is then solved for dN,i, bN,i, fN,i, KD,N, and KB,N.

Water Handling
The above equations are based on the assumption of a waterfree basis. As a result the quantity of water calculated through the above equations is zero. A separate water balance is performed on the whole column after the hydrocarbon component flow rates have been calculated. It is assumed that each of the product streams is 75% saturated with water. Knowing the water-free composition of each (liquid) product stream, HYSYS compute the saturation amount of water. This enables HYSYS to calculate the composition of the water in liquid product streams. The remaining water leaves from the top of the column.

Condenser Handling
The condenser is dealt with separately. The feed to the condenser is the distillate from the top section. From your specification of the amount of vapor and liquid product from the condenser, HYSYS can calculate the composition of each of the vapor and liquid products as well as the quantity of the water that will be in the vapor phase and the quantity of water that will be in a separate aqueous phase. The temperature of the condenser will also be calculated.

6.2.2 Stage-By-Stage Method


The Stage-by-stage solution strategy as the name suggests, uses the Stage-by-stage HYSIM IO solver to solve the mass and energy balance in the column. This solution strategy has the following features: Accurate over a wide range of feeds, extrapolates well. Accounts for pressure effects of separation. Accounts for change in vapor-liquid equilibrium behaviour with the feed and other operating conditions. Will fail to solve if the specifications provided are infeasible. A typical example of an infeasible spec is a very low liquid flow in the bottom of the column, even though the feed is not hot enough. A strategy for calibrating with this solution strategy is under development and is not available in this version.

The Stage-by-stage solver uses the standard HYSIM I/O algorithm, and the Petroleum Column automatically generates all the specifications required by the HYSIM I/O solver. The Petroleum Column applies the following structural assumptions to generate the specifications: Each pump-around draw and return is one theoretical stage. Each side-stripper draw and return is on the same theoretical stage. A pump-around may or may not exist for each separation zone. If the pump-around exists, it is placed on the stage below the side-stripper draw (and return).

The following set of specifications are generated: Bottoms flow rate calculated from the TBP or the flow spec that you provide. Every side-stripper product flow-rate calculated from the TBP or flow-specs that you provide. Each pump-around DT is set to 50C. For each pump-around the liquid flow on the tray above is set to nearly zero. You must specify steam-flow or side-stripper reboiler duty.

6.2.3 TBP Cut Points


The petroleum column uses the TBP cut point specification to determine the quality of the product streams. The TBP cut point can be best described using the example in the figure below:
Figure 6.2

Overhead

Naphtha

Kero

Gas Oil

Residue

100C

250C

280C

320C

500C

In the above case, the intention is to inform the column to split the crude oil into five product streams. The five product streams will have the following qualities: top product is cut from the initial boiling point of the crude up to 100C naphtha product is cut between 100C and 250C kero product is cut between 250C and 280C gasoline product is cut between 280C and 320C residue product is cut from 320C to the final boiling point of the crude

These cut points are translated into molar flow fractions of the feed.

In a crude column, there are no degree of freedom to exactly achieve the specified cut points at both ends of the column. Furthermore, the column achieves perfect separation only at infinite number of stages. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is able to model the imperfect separation and therefore achieve the separation as shown in the

6-33

If Zone-by-zone solving method is selected, the options in the Solving Options group are hidden.

Maximum Number of Iterations


The Column convergence process terminates if the maximum number of iterations is reached. The default value is 10000, and applies to the outer iterations. If you are using Newton's method, and the inner loop does not converge within 50 iterations, the convergence process terminates.

Equilibrium and Heat/Spec Tolerances


Convergence tolerances are pre-set to very tight values, thus ensuring that regardless of the starting estimates (if provided) for column temperatures, flow rates, and compositions, HYSYS always converges to the same solution. However, you have the option of changing these two values if you want. Default values are: Inner Loop. Heat and Spec Error: 5.000e-04 Outer Loop. Equilibrium Error: 1.000e-05

Because the default values are already very small, you should use caution in making them any smaller. You should not make these tolerances looser (larger) for preliminary work to reduce computer time. The time savings are usually minor, if any. Also, if the column is in a recycle or adjust loop, this could cause difficulty for the loop convergence.

Equilibrium Error
The value of the equilibrium error printed during the column iterations represents the error in the calculated vapour phase mole fractions. The error over each stage is calculated as one minus the sum of the component vapour phase mole fractions. This value is then squared; the total equilibrium error is the sum of the squared values. The total equilibrium error must be less than 0.00001 to be considered a converged column.

6-34

Petroleum Distillation Column

Heat and Spec Error


The heat and specification error is the sum of the absolute values of the heat error and the specification error, summed over each stage in the tower. This total value is divided by the number of inner loop equations. The heat error contribution is the heat flow imbalance on each tray divided by the total average heat flow through the stage. The specification error contribution is the sum of each individual specification error divided by an appropriate normalization factor. For component(s) flow, the normalization factor is the actual component(s) flow; for composition, it is the actual mole fraction; for vapour pressure and temperature it is a value of 5000; etc. The total sum of heat and spec errors must be less than 0.0005 to be considered a converged column. The allowed equilibrium error and heat and spec error are tighter than in most programs, but this is necessary to avoid meta-stable solutions, and to ensure satisfactory column heat and material balances.

Save Solution as Initial Estimate


This option is on by default, and it saves converged solutions as estimates for the next solution.

Super Critical Handling Model


Supercritical phase behaviour occurs when one or more Column stages are operating above the critical point of one or more components. During the convergence process, super critical behaviour can be encountered on one or more stages in the Column. If HYSYS encounters super critical phase behaviour, appropriate messages appear in the Trace Window.

Petroleum Column

6-35

HYSYS cannot use the equation of state or activity model in the super critical range, so an alternate method must be used. You can specify which method you want HYSYS to use to model the phase behaviour. There are three choices for super critical calculations:
Model Refer to Chapter 1 Interface in the HYSYS User Guide for details on the Trace Window. Simple K Description The default method. HYSYS calculates K-values for the components based on the vapour pressure model being used. Using this method, the K-values which are calculated are ideal K-values. When supercritical conditions are encountered, HYSYS reduces the pressure on all trays by an internally determined factor, which can be seen in the Trace Window when the Verbose option is used. This factor is gradually decreased until supercritical conditions no longer exist on any tray, at which point, the pressure in the column is gradually increased to your specified pressure. If supercritical conditions are encountered during the pressure increase, the pressure is once again reduced and the process is repeated. When supercritical conditions are encountered on a tray, HYSYS searches for the closest tray above which does not have supercritical behaviour. The nonsupercritical conditions are substituted in the phase calculations for the tray with supercritical conditions.

Decrease Pressure

Adjacent Tray

Trace Level
The Trace Level defines the level of detail for messages displayed in the Trace Window, and can be set to Low, Medium, or High. The default is Low.

Initialize from Ideal Ks


When this checkbox is selected, HYSYS initializes its column solution using ideal K values which are calculated from vapour pressure correlations. The ideal K-value option, which is also used by HYSIM, increases the compatibility between HYSIM and HYSYS. By default, the Initialize from Ideal K's checkbox is cleared. HYSYS uses specified composition estimates or generates estimates to rigorously calculate K-values.

The calculation is based on the composition of the liquid in the column. Tray Total Fluid. The calculation is based on the overall composition of the fluid in the column.

Tighten Water Tolerance


When this checkbox is selected, HYSYS increases the contribution of the water balance error to the overall balance error in order to solve columns with water more accurately. The default setting for this checkbox is clear.

Auto Reset On
When this checkbox is selected, HYSYS resets the column values once during convergence calculation, if during the calculation the heat and spec errors do not reduce by more than 15%.

Cumulative Volume Interchange Plot


In the Cumulative plot, the complete picture of stream separation in the entire column appears. The distilled volume percent values (of all the feed and product streams) with respect to temperature appear as curves on the plot. Each curve shows the live boiling point behaviour for each stream. The curves from the product streams are normalized with respect to the feed stream, and the curves are arranged in increasing order of heaviness.
Figure 6.36

The volume interchange curves on the plot allows you to interpret the amount of material from the feed stream is exiting each product stream. For example, a product curve which starts boiling at 10% and ends the boiling at 30% implies that 20% of the material from the feed stream is allocated to this product curve. The product curve also implies that 10% of the feed stream material has been allocated to the lighter product curves, and 70% of the feed stream material has been allocated to the heavier product curves. The temperature associated to the volume interchange curves indicates the temperature of when the material in a stream curve starts and finishes boiling. The greater the overlap of temperature between the product and feed curve, the better the separation and vice versa.

Petroleum Distillation Column

An overlap in temperature between two adjacent product curves indicates that some material from the light product stream will enter the heavy product stream and vice versa. This overlap is referred to as "tails".

Incremental Volume Interchange Plot


In the Incremental plot, the derivative curve of the cumulative volume interchange plot appears. The volume rate values (of all product streams) with respect to temperature appear as curves on the plot. The area under a product curve in the Incremental plot equals the flow rate of the product stream.
Figure 6.37

The degree of imperfect fractionation appears more clearly in the Incremental plot. The overlaps in the plot, as shown in the figure above, indicate the imperfect separation between the two adjacent product streams. The spikes in the product curves are the result of the discrete nature of the HYSYS modeling of crude oil thermodynamics. A crude, which typically has several thousand components, is modelled using only 50 to 80 lumps (where each lump represent a group of components with similar characteristics). This lumping of components causes the spikes in the Increment plot.

Introduction

8.1 Introduction
If you do not have the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining license, you cannot add a Petroleum Yield Shift Reactor.

The Petroleum Yield Shift reactor unit operation supports efficient modeling of reactors by using data tables to perform shift calculations. The operation can be used for complex reactors where no analytical model is available, or where models that are too computationally expensive.

8.1.1 Theory
Shift reactor models are empirical models representing the response of the output of a reactor to changes in its operating conditions. These models are not based upon the underlying scientific theory for the reactor, or upon the chemistry of the reaction, but simply upon an observation of how the output responds to certain stimuli. The models are generally linear and are only applicable within a fairly tight range of a particular base condition. The petroleum yield shift unit operation calculates the flow rates of a defined set of product streams based upon the difference between the current value of an independent variable and a supplied base value. Dependent variables other than the flow rates can also be specified. The following general equations are used for the calculation of a dependent variable yk:
y k 0 - ( xj xj ) dyk ,j = ------ xj
0

yk = yk +

8.3 About PIMS Submodel Calculator


The PIMS Submodel can be added into the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining Petroleum Yield Shift Reactor either manual or by importing a file. Currently Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining does not have all the necessary models to fully simulate a refinery. With this new feature, Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining users will be able to create the missing models as needed. users can take the equivalent PIMS models dat (in the form of a smc file) and import it either manually or automatically into a Petroleum Yield Shift Reactor (PYS Reactor). The PYS Reactor will behave as a simplified version of refinery reactors such as a hyrdrotreater. Another purpose of this feature is to allow the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining user to simplify and speed up some parts of the plant simulation. For areas where a reigour model is not needed, the user can use a simplified version imported in from PIMS to represent the rigorous model instead. This feature is intended to help bridge the gap between refinery planning and engineering/operations. PIMS Models are ubiquitous within the refining customer base, this project will provide a way for re-use of these models to the benefit of planners and engineers.

Introduction

9.1 Introduction
The Product Blender allows you to mix several streams together, and calculate a blended property value or optimize the properties in the product stream by back calculation and determine the optimum mix ratios for the inlet streams. This unit operation is like a black box consisting of splitters and mixers. Each inlet stream enters a Tee or splitter, which splits the stream based on the specified flow ratio. Then the split streams enter the appropriate mixer. Each mixer represents the blended product stream. The Product Blender also has a surplus stream that is used to maintain mass balance in the unit operation system. For example, consider the figure below of a Product Blender with three inlet streams, two product streams, and one surplus stream.
Figure 9.1

Product streams E and D are a mixture of inlet streams C, B, and A as indicated by the colored lines. The surplus stream provides an exit flow for left over fluid from the inlet streams, as shown in the above figure for inlet streams A, C, and B.

9.2 Theory
The Product Blender has two different calculation mode to determine the flow rate in the product streams: Simulation and Optimization.

9.2.1 Simulation Calculation Mode


In the Simulation calculation mode, the inlet streams entering the Product Blender must be completely solved, in other words the status bar at the bottom of the Material Stream property view must read OK.
Refer to Section 9.3.2 Parameters Tab for more information.

The characteristics of the product and surplus streams are based on the specified flow ratio from the inlet streams and the automatic pressure assignment option.

9.2.2 Optimization Calculation Mode


In the Optimization calculation mode, the Hyprotech SQP optimizer is used to determine the optimum values required to achieve the specified objective functions.
For more information about the SQP optimization calculation refer to Chapter 7 Optimizer Operation in the HYSYS Operations Guide.

The Hyprotech SQP is a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm incorporating an L1-merit function and a BFGS approximation to the Hessian of the Lagrangian. The algorithm features step size restriction, decision variable and objective function scaling, a basic watchdog method, and a problemindependent and scale-independent relative convergence test. The algorithm also ensures that the model is evaluated only at points feasible with respect to the variable bounds.

Theory

Switching from Simulation to Optimization


When you switch from Simulation to Optimization calculation mode, HYSYS automatically place a stream cutter between the Product Blender outlet streams and the connected downstream operations. The figure below display a Product Blender in Simulation mode with a valve connected to the product stream C. When the Product Blender switch to Optimization mode, a stream cutter is added to stream C.
Figure 9.2

The cutter is added to reduce the calculation time required during the PFD calculation process. If all the operations and streams in the PFD need to be recalculated every time the optimizer generates a possible solution, then the entire calculation would take too long or lose required information for the entire PFD to solve. So HYSYS place a cutter that will temporary separate the Product Blender from the rest of the PFD during the optimization calculation. When the optimum value is found, the value is propagated back into the PFD. The stream cutter is also inactive only during the optimization calculation process in the Product Blender. Before and after the

calculation process, the stream cutter is active and allows information from the Product Blenders output streams to flow to the rest of the process flowsheet diagram.
The stream cutter is only placed when there is an operation downstream to the Product Blender (in other words, an operation connected to the outlet streams of the Product Blender).

9.3 Product Blender Property View


There are two methods to add a Product Blender to your simulation: 1. From the Flowsheet menu, select Add Operation [or press F12]. The UnitOps property view appears. 2.

Allows you to toggle between simulation and optimization calculation modes. If you select the optimization mode without first adding any variables (optimization variable, process constraints, or objective functions), HYSYS will auto generate derivatives and optimizer for optimum product flow rate with inlet stream flow ratios as the optimization variables. If you select the optimization mode after adding any variables (optimization variable, process constraints, or objective functions), HYSYS will keep the previous variable values. Ignored checkbox Allows you to ignore the operation during calculations. When the checkbox is selected, HYSYS completely disregards the operation (and cannot calculate the outlet stream) until you clear the checkbox.

If 50% of stream A is entering stream C and 25% of stream A is entering stream D. Type 0.50 in the cell along row A and under column C, and type 0.25 in the cell along row A and under column D. HYSYS automatically calculates the amount of stream ratio left for stream A, which is 25%, and sends the amount to the Surplus stream.
The values in the rows of the Flow Ratio table represent split ratios of the inlet streams, so the sum of values along each row must equal 1.

Automatic Pressure Assignment


To select the automatic pressure assignment, click the appropriate radio button in the Automatic Pressure Assignment group. The default is Set Outlet to Lowest Inlet, HYSYS assigns the lowest inlet pressure to all the outlet stream pressures. If you specify Equalize All, HYSYS gives all attached streams the same pressure.

If you are uncertain of which pressure assignment to use, choose Set Outlet to Lowest Inlet.
Only use Equalize All if you are completely sure that all the attached streams should have the same pressure.

Column Normalization

Description When the Jacobian matrix is first calculated (first pass evaluation) the Normalization property for the constraint is set to be the largest Jacobian entry in the row (Sparse Row) of the Jacobian matrix corresponding to this constraint. This number is used to normalize the rest of the given Jacobian row, for all remaining Optimizer search steps (in other words, it is not recalculated). When calculating the gradient of a given constraint with respect to each variable, the internal scaled variable is perturbed away from the current point by adding the number specified in the Optimizer Perturbation property. The new value of the constraint is found corresponding to the new variable value, and the change in constraint, divided by the change in the variable, is the corresponding Jacobian element. The constraint Base property stores the pre-perturbation value of the constraint. Under certain circumstances, however, the Base property itself can change during the Jacobian calculation. This is due to the fact that removing a perturbation from a perturbed variable, and re-running the plant model, will not reproduce the previous Base property within the constraint Current property; this is due to noise in the model arising from non-zero convergence tolerances (in other words, the de-perturbed constraint Current differs slightly from the pre-perturbed Current). Therefore, under certain circumstances (when the Pert_Reset flag property of the Optimizer is checked) the Optimizer will remove the perturbation from the variable, rerun the plant model, and then re-set the Base property of the constraint to match the re-calculated Current property. This eliminates associated noise from the Jacobian matrix.

Base Value

Price

Displays the shadow price (Lagrange multiplier) for the given constraint, calculated by the Optimizer. If a feasible solution is found by the Optimizer, then a simple interpretation of the Lagrange multiplier is that it gives the gradient of the cost function along the corresponding constraint normal. Thus, the shadow price indicates the approximate change to the objective function when increasing (in other words, relaxing) the given active bound by a unit amount.

Positive values are used as-is, negative values use the factor abs(scale*F) (where F is the initial objective function value) and a value of 0.0 a factor is generated automatically.

Object Gradient Calculation Method dropdown list Diagnostic Print Level drop-down list Accuracy Tolerance field

Description Allows you to select one-sided (forward) or two-sided (central) differences for gradient calculations. In both cases, the perturbation size used for the Optimizer internal variables is given by the Perturbation property. Allows you to select the amount of information to include in the Optimizer diagnostic file. A relative accuracy tolerance used in the test for convergence. The following convergence test is used,

ConvergenceSum OptimalityTolerance max ( F ( x ) , 1.0 )


where:
M

ConvergenceSum = F ( x ) d +

j=1

uj Cj ( x )

The ConvergenceSum is a weighted sum of possible objective function improvement and constraint violations, and has the same units as the objective function. This allows the same tolerance parameter to be used for different problems, and makes the convergence test independent of objective function scaling. Step Restriction field A line search step-size restriction factor used during the first 3 iterations. Values greater than 1.0 result in no step restriction. Set the factor to 1.0, 10-1, 10-2, etc. to impose larger restrictions. The change in size of the scaled variables is used in gradient evaluation. Individual variables are scaled according to the variable Minimum and Maximum properties (or the Range property if the Fix Variable Spans property checkbox is selected). If the Optimizer algorithm is set to MDC_SQP / MDC_SLP, this parameter gives the maximum number of Optimizer iterations allowed to find the first feasible solution. If the Optimizer algorithm is set to NAG_SQP, this parameter gives the maximum number of minor iterations. A minor iteration in this case represents a sequence of local improvements to the linearized problem within a major iteration.

Introduction

10.1 Introduction
The utility commands are a set of tools, which interact with a process by providing additional information or analysis of streams or operations. Similar to the HYSYS utilities, the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining utilities become a permanent part of the Flowsheet and are calculated automatically when appropriate. They can also be used as target objects for Adjust operations. Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining utilities can be added through the Available Utilities property view or the Utilities page on the Attachments tab of a stream's property view.
Figure 10.1

A utility added through either route is automatically updated in the other location. For example, if you attach an Envelope utility to a stream using the Available Utilities property view, the Envelope utility automatically appears on the Utilities page of the Attachments tab in the property view of the stream to which it was attached.

10.2 Delta Base Utility


The Delta Base utility generates the required derivatives for use in delta base linear programming models, which in turn provides a simplified model that can be imported into programs such as PIMS. PIMS is a program that allows you to determine the best operating conditions at minimum cost using numerical optimization method. PIMS calculation consists of linear models and simplified assumptions. Sets of independent and dependent variables are selected from within the flowsheet. Base values are specified for the independent variables and HYSYS will calculate the change in the dependent variables with respect to changes in the independent variables. The utility works by perturbing each of the independent variables from the assigned base value, solving the flowsheet at the perturbed value, and determining the delta change in each of the specified dependent variables.

Adding a Delta Base Utility


1. In the Tools menu, click the Utilities command. The Available Utilities property view appears. You can also access the Available Utilities property view by pressing CTRL U. 2. From the list of available utilities, in the right pane, select the Delta Base utility. 3. Click the Add Utility button. The Delta Base utility property view appears.

Equations to Calculate Derivatives


The following is an example on calculating the derivatives from independent variables:
y1 y0 y Derivative value = ----- = --------------x x1 x0 where: x1 = x0 + x y1 = new dependent variable value based on x1 x0 = base value of the independent variable y0 = base value of the dependent variable x = perturbation value of the independent variable

(10.1)

The following is an example on calculating the derivatives from proxy variables:


y Derivative value = ----x where: w1 = w0 + w w0 = base value of the proxy variable w = perturbation value of the proxy variable x = x1 x0 x0 = base value of the independent variable x1 = new independent variable value based on w1 y = y1 y0 y0 = base value of the dependent variable y1 = new dependent variable value based on w1 (10.2)

Simulated distillation data including TBP, ASTM D86, D2887, D1160(Vac), and D1160(Atm), as well as petroleum properties for each cut point are calculated. The data can be viewed in a tabular format or graphically. The object for the analysis can be a material stream, a stream phase in any stage of a tray section, a stream phase in a separator, a stream phase in a condenser, or a stream phase in a reboiler.

The Control Period field is used to specify the frequency that the utility is calculated. A value of 10 indicates that the utility be recalculated every 10th pressure flow step. This can help speed up your dynamic simulation since utilities can require some time to calculate. The Use Default Periods checkbox allows you to set the control period of one utility to equal the control period of any other utilities that you have in the simulation. For example, if you have five utilities, and require them all to have a control period of 5 and currently the value is 8, with this checkbox selected if you change the value in one utility all the other utilities change. Alternatively, if you want all the utilities to have different values you would clear this checkbox. The Enable in Dynamics checkbox is used to activate this feature for use in Dynamic mode.

Swing Cut Utility

10.4 Swing Cut Utility


The Swing Cut utility, which is used in conjunction with the Petroleum Distillation column, allows you to generate and export assay tables with user-specified swing cuts in PIMS format. Aspen PIMS (Process Industry Modeling System) is a production planning and optimization tool that is widely used in the refinery industry. It allows you to determine the best operating conditions at minimum cost using Linear Programming (LP) and simplified assumptions. The Swing Cut utility provides tighter integration between Aspen Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining and Aspen PIMS to achieve a wider refinery modeling solution. LP crude assays consist of yields and properties of heart cuts and swing cuts. Heart cuts refer to material that must always be allocated to a given refinery stream. For example, the kerosene heart cut is material that will always be taken from the crude column kerosene draw. Swing cuts represent material that can be allocated to two adjacent crude column draws. For example, the naphtha/kerosene swing cut is material that can be drawn out of the crude column with the naphtha stream, or kerosene stream. The allocation of the swing cut is determined by the cut point on the actual crude column; this is set by specifying the TBPs.

Adding a Swing Cut Utility

Introduction

A.1 Introduction
This appendix is contains the blending rules of the physical and petroleum properties in petroleum assays, the definition of a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file, and the format of an XML file containing a petroleum assay data.
If you do not have the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining license, you will not be able to access the petroleum properties.

A.2 Physical Property Calculation


For more information on physical property calculations, refer to Appendix A - Property Methods & Calculations in the HYSYS Simulation Basis guide.

All the physical properties of a stream with petroleum assays are calculated/estimated based on three critical information: molecular weight, centroid boiling point, and specific gravity. These three property values are often provided with the petroleum properties values of a petroleum assay.
If the three critical property values are not provided, estimated values are calculated based on blending the components property values. The components considered are the components that are active in the petroleum assay.

When two petroleum assays are blended together, their physical properties are recalculated/re-estimated using the blended value of the molecular weight, centroid boiling point, specific gravity, and heat of formation.

A.3 Petroleum Property Calculation


In Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining there are two levels of calculation for the petroleum properties: Component Level. In this calculation method, individual component properties in a stream are used to calculate the petroleum property.

Component level blending occurs in all situations when two or more streams enter a unit operation. For example, in mixers, separators, and distillation columns with two or more feeds.

For example, consider the streams mixing in the figure below. To calculate the blended Aniline Point for component B in stream 3, the Component Level method uses the B component property from stream 1 and 2. You can also select the type of blending rule (mass, mole, or volume) to calculate the new Aniline Point.
Figure A.1

Stream Level. In this calculation method, the overall stream properties are used to calculate the petroleum property. For example, consider the streams mixing in the figure above. To calculate the blended Aniline Point for stream 3, the Stream Level method uses the petroleum property from component A, B, and C. In the case of Stream Level there is only one type of blending equation available.

There are three main blending calculations that most of the petroleum properties use: Mass, Mole, and Volume.

HYSYS User Property Aliases for Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining


When you import a HYSYS assay into Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining, the user properties defined in the HYSYS oil environment should be transferred to their corresponding Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining properties. However, because HYSYS names are limited to 12 characters, they will frequently not match their corresponding Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining names, which may be longer. As a workaround for this, Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining is set up to recognize certain under-12 character property names from HYSYS, and to pass their values to the correct Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining property names. After the HYSYS assay import, you should rename the HYSYS user properties using the aliases shown below, so their values will be applied to their associated Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining properties. The table lists the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining user property names on the left, and the associated aliases on the right. When the HYSYS user property is renamed using the alias, and the assay is recalculated, the imported HYSYS properties are applied to the correct Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining property names.
