HYSYS Applications 1
HYSYS Applications
This binder contains several examples which illustrate many of the features of HYSYS.
The various applications include aspects of Steady State modelling and Dynamic
modelling. Every example does not illustrate each of these components, so the areas of
interest in each example are highlighted below.
The HYSYS Applications describe, in general terms, how to completely model particular
processes using various features of HYSYS - detailed methods of constructing the models
are not provided. If you require detailed descriptions on how to construct models in
HYSYS, a comprehensive Tutorial manual is provided in the documentation package for
this purpose.
The examples in the Applications binder provide a broad range of problems related to
various segments of industry and are organized as follows:
Gas Processing
G-1 Acid Gas Sweetening with DEA - Steady State Modelling,

Optional Amines Package, Dynamics Simulation
A sour natural gas stream is stripped of H2S and CO2 in a Contactor (absorber) tower.
The rich DEA (diethanolamine) is regenerated in a Stripping tower and the lean DEA is
recycled back to the Contactor. The optional Amines property package is necessary to
solve this example. A spreadsheet is employed to calculate various loadings and verify
that they are within an acceptable range. The case is then converted to dynamics
simulation by adding new unit ops, assigning pressure flow specifications and sizing the
equipment. Finally appropriate controllers are added to do setpoint analysis.

Refining
R-1 Atmospheric Crude Tower - Steady State

Modelling, Oil Characterization, Dynamics
Simulation
A preheated (450 F) light crude (29 API) is processed in an atmospheric
fractionation tower to produce naphtha, kerosene, diesel, atmospheric
gas oil (AGO) and atmospheric residue products. A complete oil
characterisation procedure is part of this example application. The case
is then converted to dynamics simulation by adding new unit ops,
assigning pressure flow specifications and sizing the equipment.
Finally appropriate controllers are added to do a setpoint change.
R-2 Sour Water Stripper - Steady State Modelling,

Sour Thermo Options, Case Study, Dynamics
Simulation
Sour water is fed to a distillation tower for NH3 and H2S removal. The
use of the Sour Peng Robinson (Sour_PR) is highlighted. HYSYS’s built-
in Case study tool is used to examine the effects of varying column feed
temperatures. Valves are added on the product streams to simulate a
pressure gradient and the pressure flow specifications are assigned to
the boundary streams as well as the column reflux. All the unit
operations in the tower including the tray section, the condenser and
the reboiler as well as the heat exchanger are sized. Finally appropriate
controllers are added to do a setpoint change.
R-3 Dynamics of the Partial Condenser - Dynamic

Modelling
The capabilities of HYSYS’s partial condenser dynamic model are
explained in this example. A feed disturbance is introduced to a
depropanizer column in order to illustrate its effect on the temperature
of the streams exiting the partial condenser.

Petrochemicals
P-1 Propane/Propylene Splitter - Steady State

Modelling, Column Sub-Flowsheet, Dynamics
Simulation
The individual Stripper tower and Rectifier tower components of a
propane/propylene splitter system are modelled. Two separate towers
in the same Column Sub-Flowsheet are used in this example to
illustrate the simultaneous solution power of HYSYS’s Column Sub-
Flowsheet. The case is then converted to dynamics simulation by
adding new unit ops, assigning pressure flow specifications and sizing
the equipment. Finally appropriate controllers are added to do a
setpoint change.
Chemicals
C-2 Ethanol Plant - Steady State Modelling

An ethanol production process is modelled right from the fermentor
outlet through to the production of low grade and high grade
(azeotropic) ethanol products.
C-4 Synthesis Gas Production - Steady State

Modelling, Reaction Manager, Reactors,
Dynamics Simulation
Synthesis gas (H2/N2 on a 3:1 basis) is the necessary feedstock for an
ammonia plant. The traditional process for creating synthesis gas is
explored in this example. Air, steam, and natural gas are the feed stocks
to a series of reactors which result in a product of the correct
stoichiometry. Extensive use of HYSYS’s Reaction Manager is illustrated
as four individual reactions are grouped into three reaction sets which
are used in five different reactors. This example also demonstrates the
use of an Adjust operation to control a reactor outlet temperature. The
case is then converted to dynamics simulation by adding valves and
assigning pressure flow specifications on the boundary steams.
Reactors are sized using the actual gas flow and the residence time. A
spreadsheet operation imports the H2/N2 molar ratio to a ratio
controller, controlling the Air flowrate. Temperature controllers are
used to achieve the reactors setpoint by manipulating the duty streams.

HYSYS Extensibility
X-1 Case Linking - Steady State Modelling

This case is a new addition to the HYSYS Application family. It explores
the use of the User Unit Operation to link two HYSYS simulation cases
such that the changes made to first case are automatically and
transparently propagated to the second case. Within each User Unit
Op, two Visual Basic™ macros are used. The Initialize() macro sets the
field names for the various stream feed and product connections and
creates two text user variables. The Execute() macro uses the GetObject
method to open the target link case and then it attempts to locate the
material stream, in the target case, named by the Initialize() macro.

Example Application Layout 1
Example Application Layout
All of the applications in this binder are presented using a similar format. On the first
page, a process flow diagram (PFD) of the entire process is displayed, followed by a brief
engineering overview of the process. The second page contains a PFD representing the
individual Sub-Flowsheets as well as Column Sub-Flowsheets PFD when applicable. The
rest of application is divided in three part. The first part is setting up the fluid package
and selecting components. Steady State simulation follows next and finally conversion to
Dynamics simulation. After the Steady State simulation, a summary of the complete
results of the simulation, taken from the Workbook, are shown.
Operation Summaries
In most of the examples, the unit operations are summarized in text boxes similar to
those shown below. The name and type of operation will always be shown at the top of
the summary. In this case the operation is a Compressor named E-100.

organized in three columns. The first column contains the tab and page
of the unit operation. For example, for the Compressor, there are five
tabs; Design, Rating, Worksheet, Performance and Dynamics. The
property view for the Compressor E-100 would appear as shown below.
Note that the summary does not state whether the Enable Curves box
should be checked. Because this information is not included in the
summary, the box is left the at the default value. The convention used
in these applications is that if an item on a page (or a tab) is not
included in the summary, it should be left at its default. If a page (or a
tab) is not included in the summary, leave all parameters on that page
(or a tab) at their defaults.
In some of the summaries you will see the heading Comments followed
by a request to perform a specific action in the simulation, such as
adding new unit operations between the existing unit operations and
streams. In this example, you would add the Compressor between the
Separator S-100 and the Ovhd stream.

Acid Gas Sweetening with DEA G1-1
G1 Acid Gas Sweetening with DEA
Figure G1.1
G1.1 Process Description

In this example, a typical acid gas treating facility is simulated. A water-saturated natural
gas stream is fed to an amine contactor. For this example, Diethanolamine (DEA) at a
strength of 28 wt% in water is used as the absorbing medium. The contactor consists of 20
real stages. The rich amine is flashed from the contactor pressure of 1000 psia to 90 psia
before it enters the rich/lean amine exchanger, where it is heated to the regenerator feed
temperature of 200 F. The regenerator also consists of 20 real stages. Acid gas is rejected
from the regenerator at 120 F, while the lean amine is produced at approximately 260 F.
The lean amine is cooled and recycled back to the contactor.

Figure G1.2 : Contactor Figure G1.3 : Regenerator
There are three basic steps in this process simulation:
1. Setup - The Component list includes C1 through C7 as well as N2,

CO2, H2S, H2O and DEA.
2. Steady State Simulation - The case will consist of an absorber
scrubbing the inlet gas using DEA solution, which will be
regenerated in a distillation column. Sweet gas will leave the top
whereas the bottom stream will be sent to a regenerator column.
An analysis on both the SWEET GAS and the ACID GAS will be
performed to satisfy the specified criterion.
G1-2
3. Dynamics Simulation - The steady state solution will be used to

size all the unit operations and tray sections. An appropriate
control strategy will be implemented and the key variables will be
displayed.
G1.2 Setup
The Amines property package is required to run this example problem.
This is a D.B. Robinson proprietary property package that predicts the
behaviour of amine-hydrocarbon-water systems. The components to
be selected are N2, CO2, H2S, C1, C2, C3, i-C4, n-C4, i-C5, n-C5, C6, C7,
H2O, and DEA.
Clone the Field unit set. Change the default units for the Liquid Volume
Flow to USGPM and the Molar Flow to MMSCFD.
G1.3 Steady State

Simulation
The following major steps will be taken to setup this case in steady
state:
1. Installing the DEA Contractor - A 20 stage absorber column will be

used to scrub the SOUR GAS with DEA solution(DEA TO CONT).
The SWEET GAS will leave from the tower from the top whereas
the pollutant rich liquid will be flashed before entering
REGENERATOR.
2. Regenerating the DEA - The liquid stream from the absorber will
be regenerated in a 18 stage distillation column. The ACID GAS will
be rejected from the top and the regenerated DEA will be send
back to the DEA CONTACTOR.

Before installing the column, select Preferences from the HYSYS Tools
menu. On the Simulation tab, ensure that the Use Input Experts check
box is selected (checked), then Close the view.
The contactor can now be simulated. An Absorber column operation is

installed with the specifications shown below. The Amines property
package requires that real trays be assumed in the contactor and
regenerator operations but in order to model this, component specific
efficiencies are required for H2S and CO2 on a tray by tray basis. These
proprietary efficiency calculations are provided in the column as part
of the Amines package. Tray dimensions must be supplied to enable
this feature.

For the Contactor, it is recommended that the program calculate the

efficiencies using the Tray Dimensions shown in Figure G1.4. These
parameters enable component specific efficiencies to be calculated by
estimating height of liquid on the tray and the residence time of vapour
in the liquid. These values can be supplied on the Tray Sections page,
Rating tab, in the Column property view.
Using this information, the component specific tray efficiencies can be

calculated. Run the Column, and once it has converged move to the
Efficiencies page on the Parameters tab. Click on the Component radio

The Stream RICH DEA from the absorber is directed to Valve VLV-100,
where the pressure is reduced to 90 psia, which is close to the
regenerator operating pressure.
Gases which are flashed off from Rich DEA are removed using the rich

represented by a distillation column), where heat is applied to break
the amine-acid gas bonds, thereby permitting the DEA to be recycled to
the contactor.

then type the new efficiencies into the matrix.
Specify a Damping Factor of 0.40 on the Solver page, Parameters tab,

amine from the regenerator with a water make-up. These streams mix
at the same pressure. Define the composition of MAKEUP H2O as
being all water, and specify its temperature to be 70oF. Specify its

In the second part of the application, the steady state case will be
converted into dynamics. The steps that will be used to navigate
through this detailed procedure are as follow:
1. Converting from Steady State - To prepare the case for dynamic

simulation, valves will be installed to define pressure flow relations
and PF specifications will be added to selected streams. The tray
sizing utility will be implemented for sizing tray sections, also all
other unit operations will be sized.
2. Adding Controller - In this step, appropriate controllers will be
installed and defined.
3. Preparing the Dynamics Simulation - In the last step, the
Databook will be set up. Changes will be made to the key variables
in the process and the dynamics behaviour of the model will be
observed.

Equipment Sizing
In preparation for dynamic operation, both column’s tray sections and

G1.6.3 Preparing Dynamic

Simulation
Now that the case is ready to run in Dynamic mode, the next step is
installing a strip chart to monitor the general trends of key variables.
Monitoring in Dynamics
You may enter several variables in the same chart. If you have a large
number of variables which you would like to track, it is best to use
several Strip Charts, rather than cram all of the variables on one chart.
Note also that you may have the same variable in more than one Strip
Chart.
G1-24
For this application case, set up two strip charts, as follows:

100,000 barrel/day of 29o API crude (after passing through a crude preheat train) is fed
into a pre-flash separator operating at 450o F and 75 psia. The vapour from this separator
bypasses the crude furnace and is re-mixed with the hot (650o F) pre-flash liquids leaving
the furnace. The combined stream is then fed to the atmospheric crude column.The
column operates with a total condenser, three coupled side strippers, and three pump

On the Data tab, highlight the Assay you created (it will appear in the
Available Assays column). Select the Add button, and HYSYS will
transfer that Assay to the Oil Flow Information table.
As a guideline, each product stream from the crude column should

contain a minimum of 5 pseudo components whose composition is
greater than 1.0%. Therefore, a total of 30 components should fulfil this
requirement. From the Cut Option Selection drop down, select User
Points, and specify the Number of Cuts to be 30.
HYSYS will calculate the pseudo components, which can be viewed on

the Tables page. Select Molar Compositions from the Table Type group

Install Oil in Flowsheet

The final step is to install the oil in the flowsheet - on the Install Oil
page of the Oil Characterization view, simply enter the name of the
stream (Raw Crude) in to which you would like to "install" this oil.
You can now close the Oil Characterization view and return to the
Basis Manager. Press the Enter Simulation Environment button on the
Simulation Basis Manager view to enter the Main Environment.
R1.3 Steady State

The following major steps will be taken to set up this case in steady
state:
1. Simulate the Pre-Fractionation Train - This determines the feed to

the atmospheric fractionator, and includes the pre-flash
separation, crude furnace and mixer which recombines the pre-
flash vapour and furnace outlet stream.
2. Install the Atmospheric Crude Fractionator - Add the column
steam feeds to the flowsheet and install the crude fractionator
using the rigorous distillation column operation.

In preparation for dynamic operation, the separator, the heater, the
column and the side stripper tray sections and surrounding equipment
must be sized. The steady state column pressure drop is user specified.
In dynamics, it is calculated using dynamic hydraulic calculations.
Complications will arise in the transition from steady state to
dynamics, if the steady state pressure profile across the column is very
different from that calculated by the Dynamic Pressure-Flow solver.

Sour Water Stripper R2-1
R2 Sour Water Stripper
Figure R2.1

The sour water stripper configuration shown in the above PFD is a common unit in
refineries. It processes sour water which comes from a variety of sources including
hydrotreaters, reformers, hydrocrackers and crude units. The sour water is often stored in
crude tanks, thereby eliminating the need for special vapour recovery systems.
A sour water stripper either uses the direct application of stripping steam (usually low
R2-1
R2-2 Introduction
quality, low pressure) or a steam-fired reboiler as a heat source. The
Figure R2.2
intent is to drive as much H2S and NH3 overhead in the stripper as

possible. The sizing of a sour water stripper is of great importance since
its capacity must equal or exceed the normal production rates of sour
water from multiple sources in the refinery. Often refiners find their
strippers undersized due to a lack of allowance for handling large
amounts of sour water which can result from upset conditions (like
start-up and shutdown). Consequently, one often finds a backlog of
sour water waiting to be processed in the stripper. With the increasing
importance of environmental restrictions, the sour water stripper plays
a greater role in the overall pollution reduction program of refiners.
R2.2 Introduction
The Sour Water feed stream goes through a feed/effluent exchanger
where it recovers heat from the tower bottoms stream (Stripper
Bottoms). This new stream (Stripper Feed) enters on tray 3 of an 8 tray
R2-2
distillation tower with a reboiler and a total reflux condenser. A quality

specification of 10 ppm wt. ammonia on the tower bottoms (Stripper
Bottoms) is specified. The tower bottoms, Stripper Bottoms,
exchanges heat with the incoming feed and exits as Effluent.
1. Setup - The Sour Peng-Robinson package will be used and the

components to be selected are H2S, NH3 and H2O.
2. Steady State Simulation - The case will consist of an 8 stage
stripper, used to separate H2S and NH3, and a heat exchanger to
minimize heat loss.
3. Dynamic Simulation - The steady state solution will be used to
size the unit operations and tray section. An appropriate control
strategy will be implemented and the key variables will be
displayed on a strip chart.
R2.3 Setup
The Sour Peng-Robinson property package is required to run this
example problem. It combines the PR equation of state and Wilson’s
API-Sour model for handling sour water systems. The components to
be selected are H2S, NH3 and H2O.
R2.4 Steady State

Simulation
The following major steps will be taken to setup this case in steady
state:
1. Installing the SW Stripper - An 8 stage distillation column will be

used to strip the sour components from the feed stream. The liquid
leaving the bottom of the column heats the incoming feed stream

2. Case Study - A case study will be performed to obtain steady state
solutions for a range of stripper feed temperatures. The results will
help in running the case in dynamics

In this example, a full reflux partial condenser is attached to a depropanizer column. A
feed disturbance will be introduced to the column in dynamic mode to illustrate its effect
on the temperature of the streams exiting the condenser.
The partial condenser has a very distinct role in distillation operations. It receives the

cooling tubes, and separates the phases. The vapour phase exits the
vessel and is processed downstream while the liquid can be returned to
the tower as reflux and/or removed as product for further processing.
In steady state, the vapour and the liquid which are separated in the
condenser have an equivalent temperature.
In most plant situations, the distillation tower and therefore, the

condenser is operating dynamically. In Dynamic mode, the
temperatures of the overhead vapour will not always equal the
temperature of the liquid from the condenser.

R3.4.2 Adding Controllers

The local control used to maintain the liquid level in the reboiler and in
the condenser will be replaced by explicit controllers. Install two level
controllers, as shown on the left. Typically, it is best to install the
controllers for the column in the column subflowsheet.
Controllers will also be utilized to regulate the tower pressure and

temperature. Since the condenser pressure determines the pressure
profile of the tower, one controller will manipulate the flow of the
condenser utility stream to control the condenser pressure. Install the
pressure controller as shown. The specifications for the condenser
utility fluid valve are input in the FCV for Condens Q dialogue box. This
is accessed by pressing the View Control Valve button on the COL PC
Connections page.
The other controller will adjust the reboiler duty to maintain a tray
temperature set point. The tower temperature controller maintains the
temperature of the tray most sensitive to disturbances. A steady state
experiment replacing the reflux ratio spec with a reboiler duty spec was
completed. The tower was converged using ±5% and ±10% of the steady
state reboiler duty value. The temperature profile was analyzed to
determine that the most sensitive tray to disturbances in the reboiler
duty is tray 5. Since tray 5 is the feed tray for the column and will be
prone to many small disturbances which could amplify to downstream
operations, another tray should be selected. Tray 8 is chosen since it is
the second most sensitive tray location and it is situated in the lower
half of the column.
Vapour Valve Control

The last controller is a feedforward controller that will gradually adjust
the overhead vapour flowrate according to the step change in the tower
feed flow. This controller is not an example of a real feedforward
controller and is used in this example for the sole purpose of better
illustrating the events which occur in the partial condenser.
In a spreadsheet, the feedforward controller set point, which will

change with the tower feed rate, will be calculated:

To view the changes that occur in the condenser when there is a
disturbance in the tower feed, strip charts will be created. Open the

• Condenser Pressure
• Ovhd Temperature
• Reflux Temperature
• Tower Feed Temperature
• Condens Q Utility Outlet Temperature
• Ovhd Molar Flow
• Reflux Molar Flow
• Tower Feed Molar Flow
• Condenser Liquid Level
On the Strip Charts tab, add two strip charts, the first of which will

chart will show the molar flow of each condenser product stream, the
flowrate of the tower feed and the condenser liquid level. Along with
the strip charts, it may be useful to open the face plates for the
controllers to monitor each valve output.
To help the strip chart variables line out, switch each controller into
Manual and then back into its original mode prior to starting the
Integrator. This will provide the steady state values for each controller
output.
Start the Integrator and allow the strip variables to line out. Perform an
analysis by manipulating the Tower Feed temperature to 90 F and the
molar flowrate to 100 lbmole/hr.

A propylene-propane splitter is generally an easy column to converge. However, the
critical factor in producing the results is not the ease of solution, but rather the prediction
of the relative volatility of the two key components. Special consideration was given to
these components, along with others, in developing the binary interaction coefficients
for the Peng Robinson and SRK Equations of State to ensure that these methods correctly

These splitters have many stages, and are often built as two separate
columns. This simulation will contain two Columns, a Stripper and a
Rectifier. The Stripper is operated as a Reboiled Absorber and contains
94 theoretical stages. The Rectifier is a Refluxed Absorber containing 89
theoretical stages. The Stripper contains two feed steams, one is the
known stream, FEED, and the other is the bottoms from the Rectifier.
Propane is recovered from the Stripper bottoms (95%) and Propene is
taken off the top of the Rectifier (99%).

Figure C1.1
C4.1 Process Description

The production of synthesis gas is an important and interesting part in the overall
process of synthesizing ammonia. The conversion of natural gas into the feed for the
ammonia plant is modelled using three conversion reactions and an equilibrium
reaction. To facilitate the production of ammonia, the molar ratio of hydrogen to
nitrogen in the synthesis gas is controlled near 3:1. This ratio represents the
stoichiometric amounts of the reactants in the ammonia process.
In a typical synthesis gas process, four reactors are needed. In the model which will be
built, five reactors must be used, since conversion and equilibrium reactions cannot be
placed in the same reaction set and thus cannot be placed in the same reactor. The
C4-1
C4-2 Setup
Combustor is separated into a conversion reactor and an equilibrium

reactor.
Desulfurized natural gas, which is the source of hydrogen in the

example, is reformed in a conversion reactor (Reformer) when it is
combined with steam. Air is added to the second reactor at a
controlled flowrate such that the desired ratio of H2:N2 in the synthesis
gas is attained. The oxygen from the air is consumed in an exothermic
combustion reaction while the inert nitrogen passes through the
system. The addition of steam serves the dual purpose of maintaining
the reactor temperature and ensuring that the excess methane from the
natural gas stream is consumed. In the last two reactors, the water-gas
shift equilibrium reaction takes place as the temperature of the stream
is successively lowered.
1. Setup - In this step the Fluid Package , Reaction sets and Reactions
Components will be selected. The Reaction Component list
includes CH4, H2O, CO, CO2, H2, N2 and O2.
2. Steady State Simulation - The case will be setup in steady state
with the following key unit ops:
• Reformer - A conversion reactor in which most of the methane is
reacted with steam to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide.
• Combustor - Second conversion reactor, which takes the product
of Reformer, an Air stream and a Comb. Steam as feeds.
• Shift Reactors - A series of equilibrium reactor within which the
water gas shift reaction occurs.
3. Dynamics - Before converting the case into Dynamics, the steady
state solution will be used to size all unit ops and implement the
appropriate pressure flow relations.

C4.3.1 Building the Flowsheet
Reformer
The Reformer is a conversion reactor, in which most of the methane is
reacted with steam to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and
carbon dioxide. The outlet gas will also contain the unreacted methane
and excess water vapour from the steam. The overall conversion of the
two reactions in the Reformer is 70%. Rxn-1, which produces carbon
monoxide and hydrogen has a conversion of 40%, while Rxn-2 has a
conversion of 30%.
C4-7
C4-8 Steady State
The two reforming reactions are endothermic, so heat must be

supplied to the reactor to maintain the reactor temperature. Specify the
temperature of the outlet stream, Combustor Feed at 1700 °F, so that
HYSYS will calculate the required duty.

Combustor
The second conversion reactor is the Combustor, which has the
Reformer product, an Air stream and a Comb. Steam stream as feeds.
Air is the source of the nitrogen for the required H2:N2 ratio in the
synthesis end product. The oxygen in the air is consumed in the
combustion of methane. Any remaining methane is eliminated by its
reaction with the entering steam.
HYSYS automatically ranks the three reactions in the Combustor Rxn

Set. Since H2O is a reactant in the combustion reaction (Rxn-1) and is a
product in the two reforming reactions (Rxn-2 and Rxn-3), HYSYS
provides a lower rank for the combustion reaction. An equal rank is
given to the reforming reactions. With this ranking in place, the
combustion reaction proceeds first until its specified conversion is met
or a limiting reactant is depleted. The reforming reactions then

proceed based on the remaining methane.

All three of the shift reactors are equilibrium reactors within which the

cases.
C4.3.2 Adjust Operations
Steam Flowrate
To control the temperature of the combustion reaction, the flowrate of
steam to the Combustor is adjusted. Since the Combustor is modelled
as two separate reactors, target the temperature of the equilibrium
reactor, Combustor Shift. An ADJUST operation is used to manipulate
the Comb. Steam flowrate to maintain the Combustor Shift

Air Flowrate
To control the H2:N2 molar ratio in the Synthesis Gas, we need to
calculate the ratio in a Spreadsheet and then use an ADJUST operation.
The Synthesis Gas should have an H2:N2 molar ratio slightly greater
than 3:1. Prior to entering the ammonia plant, hydrogen is used to rid
the synthesis gas of any remaining CO and CO2.
C4-11
C4-12 Steady State
In the Spreadsheet, change the Spreadsheet Name to SSRatio and

import the following variables:
• Synthesis Gas Comp. Molar Flow of Hydrogen

• Synthesis Gas Comp. Molar Flow of Nitrogen
A spreadsheet cell (B4) is used for the calculation of the H2:N2 ratio.
The ratio is calculated using the following format:
+’cell that contains flow of H2’/ ’cell that contains flow of N2’
For the H2:N2 ratio cell provide a name for the ratio, such as H2N2Ratio.
Goto the Parameters tab and enter the Variable name for the B4 cell as
H2N2Ratio.
It is necessary to create a "dummy stream" to export the ratio created in

the spreadsheet. To do so, create a stream called "Dummy Stream" and
export the ratio to the molar flow of the dummy stream.
Now you can install the ADJUST operation as shown.

even though each adjusted variable will have an effect on the other
operation’s target variable. Please note that the close proximity of the
logical operations in the flowsheet increases the possibility of cycling
behaviour if the Simultaneous method is used. Therefore, it is
advantageous to attempt to iterate on one ADJUST and then solve the
other.

Case Linking X1-1
X1 Case Linking
Figure X1.1
X1.1 Process Description

This example exploits the User Unit Operation to link two HYSYS
simulation cases together such that changes made to the first case
(LinkCase1) are automatically and transparently propagated to the
second (LinkCase2). More succinctly, this application will demonstrate
a method for copying the contents of a stream from one case to another
automatically.
The User Unit Op is pre-configured with Visual Basic™ code. Inside the
User Unit Op you will define two subroutines: the Initialize() and
Execute() macros. The Initialize() macro sets the field names for the
various stream feed and product connections and creates two Text user
variables: LinkCase and LinkStream. LinkCase contains the path and
file name of the target case to be linked. If the variable contains no
value, the Initialize() code will set it to be the path to the currently open
X1-1
X1-2 Building Flowsheet 1
case and the file name LinkCase2.hsc. LinkStream names a stream in

the second case that will have the T, P, Flow and composition copied to
it from the User Unit Op’s feed stream. The target case and stream may
optionally be changed explicitly from the Variables page of the User
Unit Op.
The Execute() macro uses the GetObject method to open the target link
case, which will initially be hidden. It then attempts to locate the
material stream named by the LinkStream variable in the target case. If
a stream is attached to the Feeds1 nozzle of the User Unit Op, the
stream conditions and compostions are then copied between the
streams.
Note that the use of the DuplicateFluid method to copy the

stream parameters requires identical property packages in both
simulation cases. The example code instead uses a technique of
explicitly copying T and P and then searches for components by
name in order to copy their molar flow. Components that are
not available in the target case are simply ignored.
Note that all the stream names are not capitalized.
Also note that the definition of User Unit Op usually involves the
definition of three macros: Initialize(), Execute() and the StatusQuery()
subroutines. For this example, the StatusQuery() macro is commented-

Once you have completed specifying this flowsheet, save the case as
LinkCase2.hsc and close it.
X1.4 Creating a User Unit

Operation
Now that both cases have been created, you may begin creating the link
between them. Open LinkCase1.hsc again. Add a User Unit Op to the
flowsheet. Defining the User Unit Op will consist of writing two
different subroutines.
• Initialize - defines material and energy feed/product streams

and creates user variables
• Execute - opens target case, finds target stream and copies
the stream conditions from the main case.
The definition of the User Unit Op will be done through the Edit
Existing User Variable view. You may access this view by selecting the
Edit button on the Code page of the Design tab.
X1.4.1 Initializing User Unit Op

The following table contains a listing of the code required to implement
this operation, along with a brief description of what is meant by the
code. Please note that partitions placed in the code are merely made to
clearly associate the relevant code with the explanation. Also note that
indentations made in the code are common with standard
X1-5
X1-6 Creating a User Unit Operation
programming practices.
Code Explanation
Signifies the Start of the initialization subroutine. You
Sub Initialize ()
do not have to add it as it should already be there.
You are setting the names that will be associated
with the energy and material (primary and
secondary) inlet and exit connections.
ActiveObject.Feeds1Name = "Feed"
ActiveObject.Products1Name = "Unused Prod1"
ActiveObject.Feeds2Name = "Unused Feed2"
ActiveObject.Products2Name = "Unused Prod2"
Deactivates the secondary inlet and exit connections

ActiveObject.Feeds2Active = False as well as the energy inlet and exit connections. After
ActiveObject.Products2Active = False
the intialization subroutine has been successfully
implemented, the check boxes associated with the
ActiveObject.EnergyFeedsActive = False
secondary material connections and energy
ActiveObject.EnergyProductsActive = False connections should be deactivated as shown in the
figure above.
Dim LinkCase As Object Creates two Text user variables called LinkCase and
Set LinkCase = ActiveObject.CreateUserVariable("LinkCase", "LinkCase", LinkStream. They will appear on the Variables
uvtText,utcNull, 0) page of the Design tab along with their current
Dim LinkStream As Object values.
Set LinkStream = ActiveObject.CreateUserVariable("LinkStream", "LinkStream",
uvtText,utcNull, 0)
Creates a reference to the LinkCase user variable
called myVarWrapper. The value of myVarWrapper
Set myVarWrapper = ActiveObject.GetUserVariable("LinkCase")
is set to a string containing the path of the current
myVarWrapper.Variable.Value = ActiveObject.Flowsheet.Parent.Path +
case and the new case name. Since myVarWrapper
"LinkCase2.hsc"
is a reference, this value is also carried over to the
LinkCase variable.
Changes the reference of myVarWrapper to the
Set myVarWrapper = ActiveObject.GetUserVariable("LinkStream")
LinkStream user variable.
X1-6
Case Linking X1-7
Code Explanation
If the number of streams specified in the primary
feed drop-down is greater than 0 (i.e. at least one
If ActiveObject.Feeds1.Count > 0 Then stream), the value of myVarWrapper (hence the
myVarWrapper.Variable.Value = ActiveObject.Feeds1.Item(0).name value of the LinkStream user variable) is the name
Else of the first item that appears in the list of primary
myVarWrapper.Variable.Value = "feed" feed streams.
End If If the primary feed drop-down list is empty, the
LinkStream variable will be set to the default name
“feed”
Signifies the end of the initialization subroutine. This
End Sub
line does not need to be added.
Once this is entered, press the Ok button to close the Edit Existing User
Variable view. Go to the Code page of the Design tab and select the
Initialize button. The Connections page of the design tab should
contain their new designations. On the Variables page you should see
the user variable LinkCase contain the case LinkCase2 including the
path. If the feed drop list on the Connections page is empty, value of
LinkStream variable should currently be feed.
X1.4.2 Operation Execution

Code Explanation
Signifies the Start of the operation excecution
Sub Excecute () subroutine. You do not have to add this line as it
should already be there.
If an error occurs during the execution of this
On Error Goto EarlyGrave subroutine, go to the line of code designated
EarlyGrave.
If ActiveObject.Feeds1.Count <> 1 Then If the number of streams specified in the Feed list is
Exit Sub not 1 then exit the subroutine.
End If
Dim Case2 As Object Creates a reference to the LinkCase user variable
Set Case2 = GetObject(ActiveObject.GetUserVariable(“LinkCase”).Variable.Value) called Case2.
Dim Case2FS As Object Creates a reference to the flowsheet inside Case2
Set Case2FS = Case2.Flowsheet (LinkCase) called Case2FS.
Dim Case1FS As Object Creates a reference to the current flowsheet called
Set Case1FS = ActiveObject.Flowsheet Case1FS.
Dim Case2Strm As Object Creates a reference to a stream in the other case.
Set Case2Strm = Case2FS.MaterialStreams.Item(ActiveObject.GetUserVariable The stream’s name is the value of the user variable
(“LinkStream”).Variable.Value) LinkStream.
Dim Case1Strm As Object Creates a reference to stream currently in the
Set Case1Strm = ActiveObject.Feeds1.Item(0) primary feed list.
X1-7
X1-8 Creating a User Unit Operation
Code Explanation
Case2Strm.TemperatureValue = Case1Strm.TemperatureValue Sets the Temperature and Pressure values of
Case2Strm.PressureValue = Case1Strm.PressureValue Case2Strm to those of Case1Strm.
Dim Case1CMFs As Variant

Creates an array containing the molar flow of
Case1Strm. Note that Set was not used so changes
Case1CMFs = Case1Strm.ComponentMolarFlowValue
made to Case1CMFs will not affect Case1Strm.
Dim Case2CMFs As Variant

Creates an array containing the molar flow of
Case2Strm. Note that Set was not used so changes
Case2CMFs = Case2Strm.ComponentMolarFlowValue
made to Case2CMFs will not affect Case2Strm.
On Error GoTo NoComp For every component i in the Case2FS, you set the
For i = 0 To Case2FS.FluidPackage.Components.Count - 1 molar flow of component i in the Case2CMFs array
Case2CMFs(i) = 0.0 to the flow of the same component in Case1CMFs
n= array.
Case1FS.FluidPackage.Components.index(Case2FS.FluidPackage.Components.
Item(i).name)
Case2CMFs(i) = Case1CMFs(n)
NoComp:
Next i
On Error GoTo EarlyGrave This passes the value of Case2CMFs to the
Case2Strm.ComponentMolarFlowValue = Case2CMFs Case2Strm.
Signifies the Unit Operation has solved. It is used to
ActiveObject.SolveComplete minimize the number of times the User Unit Op’s
Execute() is called.
EarlyGrave: Marker
Signifies the end of the initialization subroutine. This
End Sub
line does not need to be added.
Once you are finished, you may activate the view by simply selecting
the compressed stream as the Feed on the Connections page of the
Design tab.

• Build a process unit as a Flowsheet Template (e.g., a

refrigeration loop or a decanter system) and store it to disk.
You can then install the Template into another simulation, and
simply attach the necessary feed and product streams as you
would with any other unit operation.
• Use nested flowsheets, i.e. have Sub-Flowsheets inside other
Sub-Flowsheets. The only restriction on nesting is with
columns; that is, you cannot create Sub-Flowsheets inside
column Sub-Flowsheets.

• View - Any “windowed” graphical representation found on the

HYSYS Desktop. Examples include the property view for a
stream (like Energy Stream C3Duty shown above) or unit
operation, or an error message window.
• Property View - A view with multiple pages accessed via tabs.
Property views are used extensively in HYSYS, and provide
access to all information associated with an object (e.g., a
stream or unit operation). The view shown here for Energy
Stream C3Duty is an example of a property view.
• Modal View - Has a thick solid border, and is without one or
both of the Minimize/Maximize buttons in the upper right
corner. You cannot move outside a modal view until you close
it, or provide the required input. The purpose of a modal view is
generally to focus your attention on the current task before

• Button - Invokes a command when pressed. An example is the

Delete button in the above view.
• Tabs - In views with multiple pages of information, such as
property views and Workbooks, the pages are accessed by
tabs at the bottom of the view. In the figure above, Design,
Reactions, Rating, Workbook and Dynamics are the tabs.
• Pages - Most tabs have associated page views. These are
listed in the column on the left-hand side of the view. Above
they are Connections, Parameters, User Variables and
Notes.
• Drop-Down List - A list of available options for a certain input
cell.
• Input Cell - A location inside a view where information is
supplied and/or displayed. Examples include stream names,
temperatures, etc. In many cases an Input Cell has an
associated a drop-down.
• Matrix - A group of cells in tabular format, through which you
can manoeuvre with the mouse or the keyboard arrow keys.
• Check Box - Items or settings which are either On or Off.
Clicking on a blank check box will turn the function On. Clicking
on it again turns it Off. The Ignored check box in the above
view is Off.

• Edit Bar -Found at the top of a view, is used for entering or

selecting numerical or text input.
• Active Highlighted Location - the current active location on a
particular view is always indicated by highlighting.
• Unit Box - associated with the Edit Bar, this provides a drop-
down list of units which are applicable for the parameter type of
the current input cell.
• Object Status Indicator- found at the bottom of each property
view, it shows the calculation status of the associated object.
The indicator displays a status message with an appropriately
coloured background (red for a missing parameter, yellow for a
warning message and green for OK).
• Group Box - an organizational border within a page that
groups related functions together. Each group box has its own
active location.
• Radio Button - A set of options, of which only one can be
active at a time. Radio buttons are always found in groups of at
least two.
• Close Button - The X button in the upper right corner of a
view, used to close the view.
• Minimize/Maximize Buttons-In the upper right corner of a
view, allows you to iconize (minimize) the current view, or
expand a view to its full size.

Composition Input Feature Description

You can input the stream composition in some
Compositional fractional basis other than Mole Fraction, or by
Basis Radio Buttons component flows, by picking the appropriate radio
button before providing your input.

Composition Input Feature Description

The Normalizing feature is useful when you know
the relative ratios of components; for example, 2
parts N2, 2 parts CO2, 120 parts C1, etc. Rather
than manually converting these ratios to fractions
summing to one, simply enter the individual numbers
of parts and press the Normalize button. HYSYS will
compute the individual fractions totalling 1.0.
Normalizing Normalizing is also useful when you have a stream
consisting of only a few components. Instead of
specifying zero fractions (or flows) for the other
components, simply enter the fractions (or the actual
flows) for the non-zero components, leaving the
others <empty>. Then press the Normalize button,
and HYSYS will force the other component fractions
to zero.
As you input the composition, the component
fractions (or flows) initially appear in red, indicating
the final composition is unknown. These values will
become blue when the composition has been
calculated. Three scenarios will result in the stream
composition being calculated:
Note that these are the default • Input the fractions of all components, including
colours; yours may appear Calculation status/ any zero components, such that their total is

Compositional You can input the stream composition in some fractional

basis other than Mole Fraction, or by component flows, by

picking the appropriate radio button before providing your
Buttons input.
4-42
The Normalizing feature is useful when you know the
relative ratios of components; for example, 2 parts N2, 2
parts CO2, 120 parts C1, etc. Rather than manually
converting these ratios to fractions summing to one,
simply enter the individual numbers of parts and press the
Normalize button. HYSYS will compute the individual
fractions totalling 1.0.
Normalizing
Normalizing is also useful when you have a stream
consisting of only a few components. Instead of specifying
zero fractions (or flows) for the other components, simply
enter the fractions (or the actual flows) for the non-zero
components, leaving the others <empty>. Then press the
Normalize button, and HYSYS will force the other
component fractions to zero.
As you input the composition, the component fractions
(or flows) initially appear in red, indicating the final
composition is unknown. These values will become blue
when the composition has been calculated. Three
scenarios will result in the stream composition being

Compositional You can input the stream composition in some fractional

basis other than Mole Fraction, or by component flows, by
Basis Radio
picking the appropriate radio button before providing your
Buttons input.
The Normalizing feature is useful when you know the
relative ratios of components; for example, 2 parts N2, 2
parts CO2, 120 parts C1, etc. Rather than manually
converting these ratios to fractions summing to one,
simply enter the individual numbers of parts and press the
Normalize button. HYSYS will compute the individual
fractions totalling 1.0.
Normalizing
Normalizing is also useful when you have a stream
consisting of only a few components. Instead of specifying
zero fractions (or flows) for the other components, simply
enter the fractions (or the actual flows) for the non-zero
components, leaving the others <empty>. Then press the
Normalize button, and HYSYS will force the other
component fractions to zero.
As you input the composition, the component fractions (or
flows) initially appear in red, indicating the final
composition is unknown. These values will become blue
when the stream composition has been calculated. Three
scenarios will result in the stream composition being
calculated:
Calculation • Input the fractions of all components, including any
status/colour zero components, such that their total is exactly
1.0000. Then press the OK button.
• Input the fractions (totalling 1.000), flows or relative
number of parts of all non-zero components. Then
press the Normalize button then the OK button.
