Dear Fellows,

 

I think that Aspen Plus should be very good for Ammonia Plant simulation. What about Hysys or Unisim? Has anybody ever done a simulation using Hysys or Unisim on a real project? How is it compared to Aspen plus?

 

For myself, I have never used Aspen.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Leo

I don't believe there is anything special about an ammonia plant. I haven't designed one, but I believe both HYSYS and Unisim will give good results.

Dear Leo,

                 I have been using aspen plus for last 11 years successfully for more than 40 ammonia plants performance evaluation, bottleneck study, revamping,projects, checking licensor design or  preparing basic engineer package. It has been wonderful so far with the updated property packages.

However, the CO2 removal unit is well suited in aspen Hysis where you can use amine property package and it gives very good results.

I do know there are other software which can be used, but aspen plus is quite user friendly and most commonly used by ammonia plant designers and manufacturers.

I would recommend for use of aspen plus for ammonia plant.

Kind regards,

Satyajit

Hi Leo,

            Thanks. I was not active in the forum for couple of months and so I missed.

Hope to remain updated in the future.

Kind regards,
