Description

The INTERMEDIATE Aspen Plus Course will show you how to model and simulate more complex Processes

Analysis of Unit Operation will help you in order to simulate more complex chemical processes, as well as to analyse and optimize existing ones.

You will learn about:

Better Flowsheet manipulation
Hierarchy, Flowsheeting, Sub-flowsheet creation
Logical Operators / Manipulators
Understand Property Method Selection and its effects on simulation results
Study of more rigorous unit operations
Model Analysis Tools such as sensitivity and optimization
Reporting Relevant Results Plot relevant data for Heaters, Columns ,Reactors, Pumps
- Temperature Profiles, Concentration Profile, Pump Curves, Heat Curves, etc…
Up to 3 Case Studies (in-depth analysis)

All theory is backed up by more than 30 Practical Workshops!

At the end of the course you will be able to setup more complex processes, increase your simulation and flow sheeting techniques, run it and debugging, get relevant results and make a deeper analysis of the process for further optimization.

Who this course is for:

Chemical Engineers
Process Engineers
Students related to engineering fields
Teachers willing to learn more about process simulation
