Aspen HYSYS Pipeline Hydraulics—PIPESYS

Pipeline thermal and hydraulics option for the simulation of pipeline systems

Aspen HYSYS Pipeline Hydraulics—PIPESYS integrates powerful capabilities for single and multiphase pipeline flow modeling into Aspen HYSYS®. It was developed by Neotechnology Consultants Ltd. (Neotec) in collaboration with AspenTech, and is built upon Neotec’s proven technologies, with more than 25 years experience supplying pipeline engineering tools to the oil & gas industry. Aspen HYSYS Pipeline Hydraulics—PIPESYS is a core element of aspenONE™ Process Engineering for Exploration and Production.

Features

Aspen HYSYS Pipeline Hydraulics—PIPESYS enables users to:

  • Rigorously model single phase and multiphase flows
  • Perform forward and reverse pressure calculations
  • Determine changes in pipeline flow or conditions and their effect on an entire plant using a Aspen HYSYS simulation
  • Compute detailed pressure and temperature profiles for pipelines that traverse irregular terrain, both onshore and offshore
  • Perform special analysis including pigging slug size predictions, erosion velocity limits, and the likelihood of severe slugging in vertical or near-vertical risers
  • Perform sensitivity calculations to determine the dependency of system behavior on any parameter
  • Determine the possibility of increasing capacity in existing pipelines based on computational effects, pipeline effects, and environmental effects

Benefits

  • Enables the user to properly size pipelines during design, thus avoiding the problems associated with oversizing
  • Enables the user to debottleneck and optimize existing pipelines to maximize throughput while minimizing pressure loss and operational problems due to oversized separators
