Modeling and Simulation in HYSYS

Abstract

Natural gas is a primary fuel obtained from the earth’s crust and it is the mixture of the C₁ – C₈ hydrocarbon with some impurities like CO₂ and H₂S. In the chemical industries natural gas is the main feed for the production of different chemical compounds like gasoline, benzene and para xylene and ammonia. Before uses natural gas as feed there is need of pre-treatment. The CO₂ scrubbing process mainly use MDEA solvent to removed CO₂ gas and Glycol in dehydration unit to remove the moisture from the feed.  The paper presents the generalized technology of natural gas process plant simulation and optimization in HYSYS software. The main aim is to carrying out plant simulation using HYSYS software. In chemical Industries most of the design and simulation of the chemical flow-sheet work is done in the software. It makes our task easy. It is also helpful for cost estimation of chemical plant.
