View costs and energy efficiency.

Activated Analysis in Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus displays energy efficiency and capital and operating economics while modeling is being performed.  The process engineer can optimize based on these key performance indicators without needing to consult specialists.  See Additional Resources at the bottom of the page for more videos and tutorials.

Maximize energy savings early on.

Activated Energy analysis helps the designer to compare actual heating and cooling utilities against targets based on pinch technology, identify design improvements, track greenhouse gas emissions and costs, and forecast utility expenditures.

Evaluate economics on the fly.

Activated Economics empowers the process engineer to determine the economic impact of design decisions immediately, estimate capital cost for the plant, predict utility costs, and analyze costs for specific equipment-- all without leaving the process simulator.

Size heat exchangers and monitor performance directly from the flowsheet with Activated EDR.

Activated Exchanger Design & Rating (EDR) makes it easy to design a rigorous heat exchanger from within Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS. With rigorous heat exchanger models, users can streamline exchanger design, monitor operational performance, and avoid costly operational problems.
