Can anybody please give me tutorials or materials that involves modeling of Flow station with Hysys.
Thank you.

And what is a "Flow station"?

And what is a "Flow station"?

Flow stations are oil facilities where water, gas and other impurities are removed from crude oil before it is fed into export terminals.

You'll probably not going to get a straight answer to your question. What you likely end up doing is to piece the answer together yourself from:
1. what you know (or learn) about flow stations
2. what you know (or learn) about process simulations in Hysys.

Best starting point is a (simplified) flowsheet of a flow station, knowing what equipment is there and how it is connected, and what the operating conditions are. You also need to know the feed, i.e. crude oil, that goes into the flow station, and what the product specifications are. These facilities are not hugely complicated, so I am sure you can come a long way on your own. Please post specific questions if you get stuck, or want to have a 'second opinion'

Thank Joerd, your contribution is very enlighten.

i want a description of how crude oil impurities is being remove in a flow station
