The foundation of any refinery model is the (Assay Management). HYSYS allows users to import crude oil data (like API gravity, distillation curves, and sulfur content) to create a representative molecular characterization. EHY2102 teaches you how to use the "Petroleum Refining" property package to turn a lab report into a digital feed. 2. The Atmospheric Distillation Unit (CDU)

🛠️ Step-by-Step Simulation Breakdown: Atmospheric Crude Unit
EHY2102 is a specialized training module designed by AspenTech. It focuses specifically on the environment within the HYSYS software. Unlike general steady-state modeling, this unit deals with the unique challenges of "black oil" or crude assays, where the feed isn't just a few simple molecules, but thousands of different hydrocarbons. Core Components of the Refining Unit Simulation The foundation of any refinery model is the
Moreover, as refineries pivot to renewable feedstocks (co-processing bio-oils, plastic waste pyrolysis oils), the HYSYS skills from EHY2102 allow you to model – a booming sector.

Simulating how crude is warmed before entering the column.
The course guides users through the crucial steps of building accurate simulation models, including: Handling assay data.
Positioned between the Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC) and the Alkylation unit, Unit O is responsible for removing undesirable components (sulfur, nitrogen, dienes) and concentrating propylene and butylenes. Without this unit, downstream catalysts in polymerization or alkylation would fail within hours.
The course is a specialized training program designed to teach engineers how to build, troubleshoot, and optimize comprehensive refinery simulations. This course moves beyond basic process modeling to focus on the complex, integrated nature of a modern petroleum refinery. 1. Advanced Petroleum Assay Management
