“Safety Analysis in HYSYS provides a pragmatic means of estimating relief loads, PSV relieving area and Inlet/outlet line sizes in a quick and productive manner. The scenario management system in HYSYS v8.3 allows the review of relief contingencies and the expected back pressure all in one place. This addition to aspen HYSYS may be used both as a design and as an educational tool.”
Hamid Arabshahi, PhD, P.Eng. – Process Dept Lead, AMEC In-Situ
Petrofac “The new Aspen HYSYS’ safety analysis functionality is great for the relief analysis of the process unit. We can now quickly estimate relieving fluid properties / conditions, size the relief valves and produce required documentation all without leaving HYSYS! This will minimize errors, improve the quality and speed up our work significantly. Nitesh Jain (Graduate Engineer) Mehul Gandhi (Sr. Process Engineer) Lakshmi Venkatesh (Dy General Manager-Process), Petrofac“

“The most important utility of this incorporation for the user is that he does not have to transfer data from one software to the other since it takes the needed data directly from the Aspen HYSYS stream… The interface created for this utility in Aspen HYSYS is fast, clear and comfortable for the user. It permits him to be flexible and to have a fast overview of the different PSVs, scenarios and data in sizing the PSVs…” Stefano Signor (Lead Services Engineer) and Jordi Guerrero (Simulation Engineer) at INPROCESS Cons.& Tech.
