Terrain-induced slugging can cause damage to processing equipment, but predicting slug volumes for sizing slugcatchers is challenging. Learn how Aspen HYSYS can be used to predict slug volumes due to terrain-induced slugging.  

BLOWDOWN Technology is available in Aspen HYSYS V9 and above. The tool’s rigorous calculations and intuitive workflows can help you save CAPEX in greenfield and revalidation projects — with fewer engineering hours. This Q&A will give you a better understanding of this helpful depressurization tool.

With extensive industry experience and detailed knowledge of process simulation, Process Ecology, a consultancy based in Calgary, Canada, provides solutions for many operations in the oil and gas industry—including gas plant rating, flare system analysis, heat recovery and optimization. The company utilizes Aspen HYSYS Upstream to simulate flow through natural gas pipelines and preventing critical flow assurance issues such as hydrate formation and corrosion.

Aspen Energy Analyzer helps you maximize energy efficiency using the insights and energy-saving suggestions.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) wanted to review the structure of its batch production record and associated workflows as part of a continuous improvement process. Reducing batch review time usually results in faster batch cycle time, meaning higher throughput at the production facility and faster cash-to-cash cycle time. AspenTech was selected for this process due to integration with other solutions, such as Aspen InfoPlus.21® and GSK’s existing plant automation software (DCS). The pilot project was a resounding success, reducing order preparation time by 95% and record review time by over 50%.

AspenTech's integrated model-based estimating tool helps deliver bids with optimized designs faster from concept design through 3D model development.
