Searchable List of Aspen Plus Components. If you want to write a program that can add and remove components to Aspen Plus (or HYSYS) simulations automatically then you must know the unique component identifiers used by AspenTech internally via Aspen Properties. To make this and other processes easier, I have created a searchable table of. ASPEN PLUS TM allows you to create your own process model, starting with the flowsheet, then specifying the chemical components and operating conditions. ASPEN PLUS TM will take all of your specifications and, with a click of the mouse button, simulate the model. The process simulation is the action that executes all necessary calculations. Aspen Plus® is a process flowsheet simulator. A flowsheet simulator is a computer software that. Is used to quantitatively model a chemical processing plant. In general, a chemical processing.

Teach Yourself The Basics Of Aspen Plus

by Ralph Schefflan, Teach Yourself The Basics Of Aspen Plus Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Teach Yourself The Basics Of Aspen Plus books, Aspen Plus is on of the most popular process simulation software programs used industrially and academically. Though the software is available at many corporations and universities, there are no textbooks which are dedicated to teaching the step-by-step use of the software. This book is designed to fill that need. The structure of the book is unique in that it emulates a lecture /workshop classroom environment. Each chapter starts with the equivalent of a classroom lecture followed by workshops which provide experience in the chapter's subject matter. The enclosed CD contains solutions, both in Aspen Plus and text formats, to examples imbedded in the text as well as to all the workshops. There are also notes at the end of each chapter designed to aid readers that have difficulty with the workshops. Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

If you want to write a program that can add and remove components to Aspen Plus (or HYSYS) simulations automatically then you must know the unique component identifiers used by AspenTech internally via Aspen Properties.

To make this and other processes easier, I have created a searchable table of components found in the standard databank of Aspen Plus (via Aspen Properties). It is not a simple data dump of component names, but a list of component identifiers found in Aspen Plus cross-linked to other databases online like e.g. the Dortmund Data Bank and NIST Chemistry WebBook.

This information should be very useful to developers, students and professionals doing advanced research in computer-aided process engineering, or others who just like to tinker like I do :) I’ll be using this components list in later articles involving the ActiveX Automation interface.

Background

The component identifier used by AspenTech is based on the empirical formula of components, but can get messy when many possible combinations exist e.g. search for the aspen alias name C₁₀H₁₆ in the table below. For repeat offenders, components are then distinguished by adding a suffix to make the identifiers unique i.e. to index the database.

In an attempt to increase the usability of the component list, I have cross-referenced the components from the standard Aspen Plus data bank (which is simply the AIChE DIPPR database) with other resources:

• The Dortmund Data Bank (DDB), the largest factual data bank in the world for thermodynamic properties e.g. ~25% more VLE data sets than NIST (and many more types of data too).
• The NIST Chemistry WebBook, with some “free” data available online (quality should be checked).
• ChemSpider (nice Wikipedia description here), which is easy for me to scrape information from.
• Chemeo, which allowed me to include chemical similarity search results by SMILES string.

The easy part was getting the data and links from these services.

The hard part was cross checking the results, which sometimes did not match between databases. To a reasonable degree of certainty, I resolved any major differences between the various linked resources. Please let me know if you find any mistakes.

Organization

• DDB component numbers are linked to the pure component summary pages online at the Dortmund Data Bank, which can also direct you to the summary-list of all available mixture properties for the selected component.
• Aspen alias, name and classes are displayed EXACTLY as they are stored in the pure component databank of Aspen Properties (APV88 Pure32). This is so that you can find the component as it is stored in Aspen Plus (which may not be correct e.g. see the component information for CAS-RN 1795-18-2).
• IUPAC names were scraped from ChemSpider. I originally tried to use NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver (see the article Convert CAS Registry Number to Other Identifiers) but I found ChemSpider to be more reliable.
• CAS Registry Numbers (CAS-RN) are linked to the pure component summary pages online at NIST Chemistry WebBook (the public version).
• ChemSpider Identifiers (CSID) are linked to the pure component summary pages online at ChemSpider (which is good for scraping component structural information like e.g. SMILES).
• Simplified Molecular-Input Line-Entry System (SMILES) strings are linked to the search results for chemically similar species online at Chemeo.
