Dynamic Analysis of

Cyclohexane Production with


Aspen HYSYS® V8.0

Revised: Nov 27, 2012

© 2012 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved


Objectives

 Convert steady-state simulation to dynamic.


 Become familiar with Aspen Dynamics user interface
 Investigate sudden changes in hydrogen feed rate on
product composition and flowrate

Background

 Cyclohexane can be produced from the following reaction:


3H2+C6H6  C6H12

 Aspen HYSYS Dynamics allows users to see how a system


switches from one steady-state condition to another one due
to changes in the operating conditions.

 Being able to predict how a system will respond to


disturbances helps process engineers avoid undesirable
results

Key Teaching Points

 Pressure driven dynamic simulation requires specification of


inlet and outlet pressures.
– Flowrates are determined from pressure drop.

 Valves can be sized automatically by HYSYS Dynamics and


manually be specifying a conductance value.
– Conductance values can be changed once the results of a dynamic
simulation are observed

 Reactor feeds can be controlled to maximize product


production

Problem Statement

 Conversion reactor
– 1080 ft3
– Hydrogen feed 310 lbmole/hr
– Benzene feed 100 lbmole/hr

 Dynamic sequence
– Run simulation for 1 hour
– Ramp hydrogen feed from 310 lbmole/hr to 300 lbmole/hr over 1 hour
– Run simulation for 1 hour
– Over 1 hour, ramp hydrogen feed up to 320 lbmole/hr
– Run simulation for 1 additional hour
