Jump Start: Using Aspen HYSYS ® Dynamics with Columns
Introduction
Columns are an integral part of most processes. They are used to separate components in mixtures where the material
exiting columns often have stringent purity and flow constraints to maintain. It is also important to maintain flow through
columns to ensure safety.
For these reasons—and more, control schemes are usually implemented on columns in order to ensure that variables
such as temperature, pressure, and flow at critical points throughout the column remain constant. Control schemes also
help to maintain product purity and flow, ensuring that acceptable materials exit the column.
In order to obtain working simulation for a column in steady-state operation, Aspen HYSYS can be used. To obtain a
simulation of a column with an implemented control scheme, Aspen HYSYS Dynamics should be utilized. Using both
of these programs in concert provides a comprehensive summary of how a column will perform under varying plant
conditions and perturbations to the column’s normal steady-state operation.
This guide will begin with a brief walkthrough of the process for setting up a steady-state column model. The steps
required towards developing and implementing a working control scheme, and studying column dynamic response using
Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, will then be outlined.
Four Aspen HYSYS files come compressed with this guide. The file “Debutanizer – SS Starter.hsc” is the steady-state
simulation for the debutanizer column. “Debutanizer Solution – RefluxBoilup1 Control Case.hsc” is a dynamics-ready file.
This guide will show the steps necessary to add the control equipment to the steady-state debutanizer file that is present
in the LV-1 control case.
In addition, two other alternative control scheme HYSYS files are included. These files are “Debutanizer Solution –
RefluxBottoms Control Case.hsc” and “Debutanizer Solution – DistillateBoilup Control Case.hsc”. The Aspen HYSYS
flowsheet for each of these files and a short description of the control schemes are included in the conclusion section of
this guide.
This document is not meant to be used as a stand-alone reference document. We recommend that a range of other
resources be called upon to give the user a comprehensive view of how to use Aspen HYSYS Dynamics. These may
include:
• AspenTech support website (support.aspentech.com) – this website has a wealth of information on the use of
AspenTech products and provides answers to frequently asked questions.
• AspenTech courseware available in on-line and in-person versions
• AspenTech business consultants
This document will show how to prepare a column and analyze its response to varying conditions using Aspen HYSYS
Dynamics. It assumes that the user has Aspen HYSYS V8.0 or higher installed on his or her computer and a functional
process design completed, as well as a very basic knowledge of dynamic simulation using Aspen HYSYS Dynamics.

Preparing a Steady-State Model
In order to properly use Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, a working steady-state process simulation model must first be obtained
in Aspen HYSYS. For more information about using Aspen HYSYS, please refer to the separate Aspen HYSYS Jump Start
Guide available at www.aspentech.com/JumpStart_HYSYSV8.
For the purposes of this Jump Start Guide, a complete dynamic simulation of a column will be demonstrated utilizing
a previously completed steady-state Aspen HYSYS process involving a debutanizer column. The process developed is
shown in Figure 1.

Debutanizer Column Specifics
It is important to appropriately design and rate the column that is going to be the focal point of the dynamic simulation by
double-clicking the column model block on the flowsheet. The parameters in Figure 2 were specified for the debutanizer,
including 15 separation stages, a feed on stage 8, a condenser pressure of 13.12 barg, and a reboiler pressure of 13.47 barg.

Figure 2. Column Design Parameters
Additional required column specifications of the reflux ratio, butane recovery from the condenser, and C5 exiting the
reboiler can be made in the “Specs” window. For the particular debutanizer column in this guide, the butane recovery is
96.25% and the C5+ in the condenser is set at 2.5%, which makes the percentage of C5+ in the bottoms 97.5%. From
these parameters, Aspen HYSYS calculates a reflux ratio of 3.697 and a molar reflux flow of 777.0 lbmole/hr. Figure 3
shows the “Specs” window and the setting up of the butane recovery in the condenser.

Figure 3. Setting Column Specifications
Once a steady-state column has been solved in Aspen HYSYS, the user can then continue to develop a control scheme
and add dynamic equipment to the flowsheet in order to begin a dynamic simulation using Aspen HYSYS Dynamics.
Development of a Control Scheme
To develop a control scheme for the column, the column’s response to feed changes should be studied. Initially, for the
simulation set up in Figure 1, Feed 1 has a flowrate of 18,000 lb/hr, while Feed 2 has a flowrate of 9,000 lb/hr. Using the
“Column Profiles” window under the “Performance” tab for the column, it can be seen that the current feed flow scheme
results in the stage parameters shown in Figure 4.

Jump Start: Using Aspen HYSYS ® Dynamics with Columns
Figure 4. Column Profile for Debutanizer
In order to develop an appropriate control scheme, the differentials in temperature between stages were studied under
the column profiles. Stage 5 through stage 11 all have high temperature differentials. For the purposes of this guide, stage
6 was chosen for implementation of the control scheme described in the following section.

Table 1. Changes in Column Performance with Feed Changes
The temperature on tray 6 in the debutanizer increased and decreased according to a respective increase or decrease of
the flowrate of the Feed1 stream. Also, with an increase in the flowrate of Feed1, an increase in the i-C5 mass fraction and
decrease of condenser and reboiler duty was observed. For these reasons, the control scheme described in the following
section should be implemented.

Preparation of Flowsheet for Dynamic Simulation
(Note that the Dynamic Assistant can be used to guide the user in preparing a flowsheet for dynamic simulation. The
Dynamic Assistant will suggest all the steps covered in this section.)
Implementing and Sizing Control Valves
Dynamic simulation requires the proper equipment to be modeled on the flowsheet in order to work properly. The first
pieces of equipment that should be added are valves. For the case being used in this guide, four valves will be necessary
based on the control scheme identified. The valves should be connected to inlet streams Feed 1 and Feed 2 and outlet
streams Butanes and C5+, as depicted below in Figure 5. All valves should have a pressure drop of 7 psig.

Activating Dynamic Specifications
The next step in moving towards dynamic simulation is to activate the pressure specifications under the “Dynamics” tab
for streams “To Feed1”, “To Feed2”, “Butane Product”, and “Liquid Product”, by checking the box shown in Figure 7.

Jump Start: Using Aspen HYSYS ® Dynamics with Columns
Figure 7. Activating Dynamic Parameters
In a similar fashion, check the flow specification box for the streams “Vent” and “Reflux”. “Reflux” is located within the
column subflowsheet environment. Also ensure that no dynamic specifications are checked for streams “Feed1” and
“Feed2”.
Column Equipment Sizing
Next, the reboiler, condenser, and tray section must be given sizes. In order to define the reboiler and condenser volumes,
open the column window and move to the “Rating” tab and click “Vessels” in the navigation pane, shown in Figure 8.
Enter 530 ft3 for both the reboiler and condenser for the purposes of this guide.

To size the trays for the column, open the “Tray Section” window and then double click the named Tray/Packed Section,
shown in Figure 9. This will open the sizing form for that tray section.
Figure 9. Sizing Tray Section
Enter a tray diameter of 4.5 ft, a tray spacing of 1.8 ft, a Weir height of 0.15 ft, and a Weir length of 4.0 ft to complete tray
sizing.
Adding and Specifying Controllers
Six controllers should be added to the flowsheet for process control. The process variables, output targets, and acceptable
tuning parameters for each valve are listed in Table 2. After configuring all of the controllers based on the table below, be
sure to switch the controller action from manual to auto.

After implementing the control scheme from the above table, the flowsheet should then appear as Figure 10 displays
below. For Cond PC and Column TC the control valves on the duty streams need energy ranges specified. To do this, open
the form for the controller and then click on the button labeled “Control Valve...” at the bottom right of the form. For the
condenser duty, choose a “Direct Q” duty source instead of “From Utility Fluid”. For both duty streams’ control valves,
specify a minimum flow of 1 btu/hr and a maximum flow of 1*107 btu/hr.

Strip Charts
Strip charts help users to view the results of dynamic simulation to disturbances. Four strip charts are automatically
available under the “Dynamics” tab once the control scheme is implemented. These strip charts show the liquid percent
level in the condenser and reboiler versus time, the two feed mass flows versus time, condenser pressure and column
stage 6 temperature versus time, and the composition in the Butanes product stream versus time. These strip charts
can be found by clicking the “Strip Charts” button under the “Dynamics” header in the ribbon, then selecting the desired
graph, shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Opening Strip Charts
Execution of Dynamic Simulation
After following the steps towards setting up a steady-state flowsheet for dynamic simulation, the dynamic simulation can
be run. To accomplish this, click the “Dynamics” tab on the main ribbon in Aspen HYSYS, shown below. Alternatively,
hitting F7 with Aspen HYSYS open will automatically enter dynamics mode. Once the “Dynamics” tab has been opened,
activate Dynamics Mode by clicking the appropriate button, shown in Figure 12. Then, to run a dynamic simulation, either
click the “Run” button, or press F9.
Figure 12. Navigating to the Dynamics Tab from the Main Ribbon and Running a Dynamic Simulation
If the steps in this guide are followed, the Dynamics Assistant will indicate that there are changes suggested before
running the dynamic simulation. The suggested changes would revert some of the set up steps listed in this guide. Simply
press “No” when prompted to run the dynamic simulation.
11
Jump Start: Using Aspen HYSYS ® Dynamics with Columns
Implementing Disturbances
Some process modification suggestions to view dynamic response for the control scheme implemented include:
• Change the feed flowrate
• Change the feed composition
• Change the temperature setpoints
• Change the pressure setpoints
• Change both temperature and pressure setpoints
To change the composition or feed flowrates, once the dynamic simulation has been initialized, the feed stream’s
definition worksheet can be opened by double clicking the appropriate stream. Then, the stream’s flow or composition
can be modified. Additionally, flow controller setpoints can be modified to initiate disturbance in the simulation.
To change the setpoints for either temperature or pressure, the controller’s “Parameters” tab can be used or the face
plate for a controller can be opened by double clicking the appropriate controller and selecting the “Face Plate…” option,
shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Changing the Setpoint and Opening a Face Plate for a Controller
12
Jump Start: Using Aspen HYSYS ® Dynamics with Columns
In the “Parameters” tab, the setpoint can be manually typed to the desired value. If the face plate is used, the setpoint can
be modified by dragging the red arrow highlighted in Figure 14.
Figure 14. Face Plate with Highlighted Setpoint Control
To test the implemented control scheme, a dynamic simulation was run. After letting the process come to steady-state
operation, the flowrate of the stream “To Feed1” was increased from 18,000 lb/hr to 28,000 lb/hr. The control response
was evident in the Feed Flows strip chart, shown below in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Feed Flows Strip Chart from Dynamic Simulation of Debutanizer
The increased flow to 28,000 lb/hr to the column can be seen, as well as a small perturbation to the Feed 2 stream from
the steady-state value of 9000 lb/hr.
13
Jump Start: Using Aspen HYSYS ® Dynamics with Columns
Additional strip charts showing the dynamic response for the simulation can be generated for the temperature on tray 6
of the column and condenser vessel pressure. This strip chart is shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16. Strip Chart Showing Tray 6 Temperature and Condenser Pressure
It can be observed that both the temperature and condenser pressure show fluctuations when the column feed
experienced disturbance—before each parameter returned to its original value due to the control response.
Figure 17 shows another strip chart for the liquid level percent present in the reboiler and condenser.
Figure 17. Strip Chart Showing Liquid Percent Level in Condenser and Reboiler
For this strip chart, neither the liquid level percent in the reboiler nor the condenser fully reaches its steady-state value of
50% before the feed flow disturbance is activated. However, upon control response, the liquid levels both move towards
their steady-state values.

Conclusion
Dynamic simulation is a very powerful tool that allows users to view how processes will behave when deviations from
steady-state operation occur. Aspen HYSYS Dynamics is the premier dynamic simulator, combining the simulation power
of Aspen HYSYS with the ability to view rigorous dynamic process response.
Aspen HYSYS Dynamics is especially effective for its use in viewing column dynamic response and exploring various
control schemes to limit steady-state operation deviations in columns. The control scheme shown in this guide is a
reflux-boilup control. Reflux-boilup control responds well to feed disturbances. The reflux flow rate controls the distillate
composition while the heat input to the reboiler controls the bottoms composition.
Other suggestions for control schemes to be implemented on the debutanizer column, as well as the scheme shown in
this guide, are included in Table 3.
