Leading Gas-to-Liquids Producer Reduces Costs and Engineering Hours Using Aspen HYSYS®
ORYX GTL Limited, a gas-to-liquids (GTL) diesel and naphtha producer, needed a new propane unit design that would incorporate a blowdown system to discharge hydrocarbon liquid under potential fire scenarios.
Recognizing the safety risk to both personnel and infrastructure, they implemented a design that enabled them to:
- Increase plant safety significantly
- Save over $130M USD in downtime costs
- Avoid the need to implement the High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS), saving nearly $7M USD
- Reduce project completion time by nearly 73%
Download this case study to learn how digital solutions can help you maximize plant safety, optimize operations and avoid unnecessary CAPEX from overdesign.

| Example: Creating a Case Study in Aspen HYSYS analyzing how to vary the mass flow. The Case Study tool allows you to monitor the steady state response of key process variables to other changes in your process. It contains built-in reporting tools to easily present your results in tabular or graphical formats. In this example, a recombination of test separator data creates a crude oil stream that is mixed with a light gas stream to recreate a source production fluid. This fluid is then sent to two stages of separation so that the gas and liquids are separated at two different pressure levels. To create the Case Study follow the steps: form, select the tab. In the section, click the Find Variables button. are calculated by HYSYS and are shown in black numbers and the are specified by the user and are shown in blue numbers. | and click Add to add the variable. Then click Done to close the window. | and click Add. , you can define the calculation states of your independent variable you wish to manipulate. In this case, HP Gas Pressure is the independent variable and it will be evaluated over the following range:

Now we could plug about 200 different combinations of temperature and size in by hand, but what would be the point when HYSYS has so thoughtfully provided us with a tool to do just that. It's called a Case Study (very similar to Sensitivity Runs in Aspen) and is available as part of the DataBook.
This video is about the simulation of the different types of case studies in Aspen HYSYS. The case studies are Sensitivity, Nested, Discrete, and Base& Shift.
The aim of the first case study is to demonstrate the capability of the automation process by sending specific values to the simulator and collecting data from it once the case is converged.
To help us, the HYSYS has a great tool called "Case Studies". With this tool you can extrapolate operational conditions and see the behavior of your equipment and process.
