ECONOMIX is a revolutionary integrated process evaluation system that unifies process simulation, equipment selection, sizing, design, and detailed capital evaluation operations into one application. This allows for open interaction between process and project engineers during the design phase of a project.

Applying ECONOMIX gives your company the competitive advantage that you need. It allows you to:

• Reduce overhead by reducing your proposal costs.• Bid on More Projects and Win More Projects (if you must

lose, lose with minimal time and effort).• Increase Accuracy - focus your people on profitable• projects• Faced with your design conclusions, you need answers to

decide on funding, staffing, and choosing one project overanother.

• Evaluate client requests, prepare proposals and lump-sumbids that were once both time consuming and resourcedemanding

• Increase Client Base by providing your clients withalternatives that were once too expensive to create.

• Reduce your process design time and promote the bestdesign forward in the lifecycle based on economics.

With ECONOMIX, you have an easy-to-use application with a variety of interfaces. ECONOMIX has a built-in, fully functional, interactive relationship with HYSYS. You can readily select the entire flowsheet or a single operation for sizing, designing and evaluating. Built on the solid foundation of AEA Technology’s PICASSO framework, ECONOMIX combines AEA’s solid process understanding and knowledge base and the Icarus Corporation’s design and costing knowledge base into one application.

The PICASSO framework is a technology developed by AEA Technology that provides the infrastructure for building component based applications. It allows the assembly of an arbitrary collection of parts, which individually focus on highly specific problems, into one integrated application.

Hence, ECONOMIX is a collection of modules assembled by the PICASSO framework that combines the strengths of various focused applications for the sizing, selection and other rule based utilities with the mechanical design and costing modules from Icarus into one consolidated application.

1-4 The Capabilities of ECONOMIX

1-4

1.1 The Capabilities of ECONOMIX

The following list highlights some of the capabilities of ECONOMIX:

• Two-way integration with HYSYS.Process/Plant.• Automatic equipment selection options that recommend

equipment types based on process conditions andheuristics.

• Rigorously size equipment based on process simulatorderived data using industry accepted methods.

• Update HYSYS.Plant with accurate equipment capacityinformation for simulating in rating or dynamics mode.

• Uses ICARUS Kbase™ to implement a wide variety ofmechanical design standards (ASME, BS5500, JIS, API,and DIN) to conform to engineering and construction bestpractices.

• Uses Kbase™ to simulates vendor methods for cost ofprocess equipment that conforms to design standards andmanufacturing costs based on self-contained and updatedmulti-national cost bases (UK, Japan, US).

• Uses Kbase™ to develop installation bulks independent ofprocess equipment cost, by implementing design methodsfor civil, steel , insulation, electrical, piping andinstrumentation through built-in P&Ids, stored isometrics,control system network schematics, foundation designand volumetric models.

• General project (plants bulk and process equipment)capital cost reporting and engineering, procurement,construction cost modeling and scheduling.


1.1.1 The ECONOMIX DifferenceUnlike traditional cost evaluation systems, ECONOMIX extracts greater value by unifying process simulation, equipment selection and sizing, and detailed capital evaluation operations into one integrated application. This allows your project and process engineers to openly interact during the design phase of the project.

By using ECONOMIX, you can empower your asset teams to quickly evaluate process ideas and conceptual designs by automatically extending your process simulation models into process equipment and design estimates for rating and/or dynamic simulation. All this allows you to make solid capital investment decisions.

1-6 Use of Manuals

1-6

1.2 Use of ManualsYour ECONOMIX documentation package consists of one coil-bound manual and an ECONOMIX Documentation CD-ROM which includes the same material that is in printed form in the manual.

In addition to the printed material, the CD-ROM also contains the Icarus Reference Manual in PDF format. It is provided as reference material for you to use as you work with the software.

1.2.1 Viewing the On-Line Documentation

ECONOMIX On-Line Documentation is viewed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader®, which is included in the Documentation folder of the CD-ROM. Install Acrobat Reader on your computer by following the instructions on the CD-ROM insert card. Once installed, you can view the electronic documentation either directly from the CD-ROM, or you can copy the Docs subfolder (containing all the electronic documentation files) from the Documentation folder and the file named main.pdf to your hard drive before viewing the files.

Manoeuvre through the on-line documentation using the bookmarks on the left of the screen, the navigation buttons in the button bar or using the scroll bars on the side of the view. Blue text indicates an active link to the referenced section or view. Click on that text and Acrobat will jump to that particular section.

Attaching the On-line CD Index

One of the advantages in using the ECONOMIX on-line documentation is the ability to do power searching using the Adobe Acrobat® Query tool. By selecting the Query button or selecting Query from the Search submenu of the Tools menu, you can search simultaneously through all the manuals for keywords.

In order to make use of this powerful searching tool, you must attach the index file to Acrobat using the following procedure:

1. To open the Index Selection view you must do one of the following:

• Select Indexes from the Search submenu in the Tools menu.• Press <Ctrl><Shift><X>

2. Press the Add button. This should open the Add Index view.

For more information on the search tools available in Adobe Acrobat Reader®, consult the Help files provided with the Reader.


3. Ensure that the Look in field is currently set to your CD-ROM drive label. There should be two directories visible from the root directory: Acrobat and Doc.

4. Open the Doc folder. Inside it you should find the Index.pdx file. Select it and press the Open button.

5. The Index Selection view should display the ECONOMIX Documentation Index to be attached. Press the OK button and you may begin making use of the Query tool.

Other Acrobat features include a zoom-in tool in the button bar, which allows you to magnify the text you are reading. If you wish, you may print pages or chapters of the on-line documentation using the Print command under the File menu.

1.2.2 Conventions used in the Manuals

The following section lists a number of conventions used throughout the documentation.

Keywords for Mouse Actions

As you work through various procedures given in the manual, you will be given instructions on performing specific functions or commands. Instead of repeating certain phrases for mouse instructions, keywords are used to imply a longer instructional phrase:

The primary mouse button is the one you use the most. For most users of a standard two-button mouse, the primary mouse button is on the left, and the secondary button on the right.

Keywords Action

Select, choose, pressor click

Position the cursor on the object or button ofinterest, and press the primary mouse buttononce.

Double-clickPosition the cursor on the object of interest, andpress the primary mouse button twice, quickly insuccession.

Click and drag

Position the cursor on the object of interest, pressand hold the primary mouse button, move thecursor to a new location, and release the primarymouse button.

Object inspect Position the cursor on the object of interest, andpress the secondary mouse button once.


A number of text formatting conventions are also used throughout the manuals:

Bullets and Numbering

Bulleted and numbered lists will be used extensively throughout the manuals. Numbered lists are used to break down a procedure into steps, for example:

1. Select the Name cell.

2. Type a name for the project customer.

3. Press <Enter> to accept the name.

Bulleted lists are used to identify alternative steps within a procedure, or for simply listing like objects. A sample procedure that utilizes bullets is:

1. Move to the Name cell by doing one of the following:

• Select the Name cell• Press <Alt><N>

2. Type a name for the project.

3. Press <Enter> to accept the name.

Notice the two alternatives for completing Step 1 are indented to indicate their sequence in the overall procedure.

At this point in the installation, the security feature will check to see if ICARUS has been previously installed. If the ICARUS software is not found, a warning message will appear stating that ICARUS must be installed prior to the installation of HYSYS.Economix. The installation process for HYSYS.Economix will then end so that you may install the ICARUS software.


2.4 The Standalone Key Version of HYSYS

The standalone key version of HYSYS checks for the presence of a GREEN AEA Technology hardware security key on the serial (COM) port of the computer running the software. If you are using a BEIGE Rainbow Technologies Inc. NetSentinel-C security key refer to Section 2.5 - The Network Key Version of HYSYS.

Connecting the Security Device

The arrow on the label indicates the proper orientation of the key (the arrow must point towards the computer). The key can be plugged into either a 9-pin or 25-pin serial port. AEA Technology ships a 9 to 25-pin converter with the key but a standard modem cable can also be used.

The ports on the rear of many PCs are unlabelled. For the serial ports (9 or 25-pin) the "pins" of the connector are visible. For the parallel port and the video port where the monitor is plugged in, a "socket" type connector can be seen. To prevent damage, all equipment should be switched off when connecting/disconnecting devices from ports on the computer.

The security key has limited pass-through capabilities. Certain other serial peripherals may be connected to the back of the key to allow non-concurrent use of the security key and the peripheral. Do not plug a serial mouse into the back of the key. The mouse will operate, but HYSYS will be unable to find the key.

2.4.1 HYSYS (with ECONOMIX) Installation to a Network Server

If HYSYS is to be run on a relatively large number of computers, it may be advantageous to install the software on a network server rather than on individual computer hard disks.

The disadvantage of installing the software on a network server is that HYSYS startup will be slower as the program is loaded over the network from the hard disk of the server into the memory on the local computer.

Do not plug a serial mouse into the back of the green AEA Technology security key.

The following discussion is optional and applies to both the standalone key and network key versions of HYSYS.

Except for the fact that it searches for a security key on the network, rather than on a serial port of the local computer, the network key version of HYSYS is identical to the standalone key version.

2-9

2-10 The Standalone Key Version of HYSYS

2-10

Installing HYSYS onto a server follows exactly the same process as outlined in the previous section. Simply choose the network drive instead of the local drive when on the Select Components screen. To prevent accidental modification or deletion of files, it is recommended that HYSYS users be allowed read-only access to the software. Each HYSYS user should then configure an individual preferences file as follows and store that file on their local hard disk (or write-enabled network drive).

To run HYSYS on users’ computers,

1. Create a shortcut to HYSYS.EXE (on the desktop or in the Start menu).

2. Set the Start In directory to a directory on the local hard disk (e.g. C:\AEA Technology\HYSYS). On startup, HYSYS will search this directory for the user's preferences file (HYSYS.PRF).

3. In this directory, create the subdirectories CASES, PAKS and USER.

4. Start HYSYS and, from the menu bar, select Tools, then Preferences.

5. Go to the Files tab of the Session Preferences view and select Locations.

6. Configure the Default Files and Paths as is shown in the accompanying Figure 2.9. These are suggestions only and some modification may be required depending on the circumstances.

7. Select the Save Preference Set button, and direct the file save operation to the HYSYS working directory on the local disk.

Figure 2.9


2.4.2 Potential Problems Starting the Standalone Key Version of HYSYS

HYSYS displays the message "Error X: This Security Key has an Invalid Serial Number. (Error sub-code X)"

The HYSYS software is coded to operate with either a single security key or a group of security keys in use at your organization. Check the Product Install Code label on the CD case for the number of the security key for which the Product Install Code was produced. If the security key number on the label matches that on the key being used, contact AEA Technology for resolution of the problem.

If the security key number on the label does not match that of the key, but you believe that this key is one of a group of keys that are interchangeable, contact AEA Technology for resolution of the problem. When contacting AEA Technology, provide both the security key number and the Product Install Code.

HYSYS displays "Error X: Cannot find a Security Key on a serial port of this computer. (Error sub-code X)".

Use the following checklist to diagnose the problem:

1. Check that the green AEA Technology security key is correctly connected to the serial port of the computer.

The arrow on the key must point towards the computer. If it is pointing away from the computer, it is plugged into the parallel port (connecting the key to the parallel port may de-program the key).

While the key can connect directly to a 25-pin serial port, a converter (supplied with the key) is required to attach the key to a 9-pin serial port. A standard external modem cable can also be used for this purpose. Consider the possibility that the fault lies in the cable, if one is being used.

2. Ensure that a serial mouse is not plugged into the back of the key. The mouse will work, but HYSYS will not find the security key.

3. Check for another operating Windows program that is configured to use the serial port. There does not need to be an external device (e.g. modem) actually connected to the port for this to be the problem. A recurring problem which fits this description is monopolization of the serial port by the “hotlink” software for personal digital assistants (PDA) like the Palm Pilot.

2-12 The Standalone Key Version of HYSYS

2-12

4. If HYSYS still cannot see the security key, the two possibilities that remain are that the key has been de-programmed (they are quite robust and this rarely occurs) or the serial port of the computer is non-functional (disabled, misconfigured or suffering from a hardware problem).

If the opportunity exists, this is a good time to install the software and key on another computer(s). If HYSYS still cannot see the key on a second computer, there is a good possibility that the key is non-functional.

Another valid test is to check the key on another computer that has other AEA Technology software installed that also uses the same kind of key (most AEA Technology "standalone" software uses the same green hardware key). Even if not configured to work with this new key, the software will display an error message making it obvious whether or not the key was found. If the key is found by the software, the error message will be similar to “Invalid Serial Number” or “This security key is not licensed to run this program.” If the software does not see the key, the error message will be of the form, “Could not find security device.” If the key cannot be found by AEA Technology software on several computers, you should contact AEA Technology Technical Support for further information.

If HYSYS is able to see the security key on another computer, then the problem on the first computer lies with the serial port. Contact your company’s IT personnel for assistance in solving this problem. Because these problems are machine specific, AEA Technology's Technical Support staff can be of limited assistance. These cases and are best handled by on-site personnel.

Security Key Tips for IT Personnel

An excellent test (Win 2000/NT/98/95) to determine if the serial port is functional is to disconnect the normally used mouse and attach a serial mouse to the port. If Windows reports that a mouse could not be found on startup, then the port is not working. If Windows does find the mouse, the port itself may still be disabled, preventing its use by other peripherals, so that needs to be checked (in the CMOS setup). Windows will "override the disable" on the port if it finds a mouse there.

It is not a valid test to disconnect a working serial mouse on a powered-up Windows computer, connect the security key in its place, and start HYSYS. Windows will still be holding the port for exclusive use by the mouse, so HYSYS will not find the key in this situation. To test the key on a serial port which normally services a serial mouse, restart the computer with the key in place of the


mouse. Use keyboard commands to initiate HYSYS (Ctrl-Esc opens the "Start" menu, then use the arrow keys to manoeuvre through the menus, and Enter to select the software).

As portable computers become more prevalent, a recurring problem reported to AEA Technology Technical Support involves the infrared (IR) communications port common to many portables. Most portables can have either the single serial port OR the IR port enabled, but not both. Check the CMOS setup or the manufacturer's configuration utility to confirm that the serial port is enabled and the IR port disabled.

5. Very rarely, the key and the serial port are proven to be working properly, but HYSYS is still unable to find the key. In this instance, try starting the software with a command line option that tells it on which COM port the key is located. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the HYSYS directory. Right-click on HYSYS.EXE and select "Create Shortcut" from the menu. Once the shortcut has been created, right-click on it and select "Properties" from the menu. Go to the "Shortcut" page and modify the "Target:" to the format:

"C:\Program Files\AEA Technology\HYSYS\HYSYS.EXE" -c2

The path may be different on your computer. Note the location of the double-quotes required because of the space in "Program Files". Use -c1 for COM1, etc. Initiate HYSYS by double-clicking on the shortcut. The main HYSYS item in the Windows Start Menu is also a shortcut, located in the Windows directory. This shortcut can be modified instead, if desired.

6. If all else fails, the addition of a very inexpensive serial expander card may be the solution to the problem (for desktop computers, of course). This has solved several unexplained problems in accessing what appear to be perfectly functional on-board serial ports.

2-14 The Network Key Version of HYSYS

2-14

2.5 The Network Key Version of HYSYS

The network version of HYSYS uses a BEIGE Rainbow Technologies Inc. NetSentinel-C security key to allow centralized management of licenses required to run the application. The key is attached to the parallel port of a computer on the network (the "keyserver" computer). Keyserver software is run on that computer to manage requests from HYSYS users on the network for access to licenses on the key. If you are using a GREEN AEA Technology hardware security key refer to Section 2.4 - The Standalone Key Version of HYSYS.

On program startup, the network key version of HYSYS inquires from the keyserver computer over the network if a license is available. If a license is available, it is allocated to that user, and the number of available licenses on the key is decreased by one.

2.5.1 Quick Start - Using the Network Key in Local Mode

A useful feature with the network key version of HYSYS is the ability to use the network key as a "standalone" (single-user) HYSYS key. That is, the key can be used to enable the operation of HYSYS on a single computer. No network connection or keyserver software is required.

On Windows 2000/NT computers, it is necessary to install the NetSentinel System Driver Software - see Section - Install the NetSentinel System Driver Software for more information.

Once the network key is attached to the parallel port of the computer, start the network key version of HYSYS with the command line option "-local" to enable local mode. To do this perform the following steps.

Except for the fact that it searches for a security key on the network, rather than on a serial port of the local computer, the network key version of HYSYS is identical to the standalone key version. Because of the added complexity involved in setting up the central resource that manages the multi-user network key, it is recommended that the setup of the network key version of HYSYS be undertaken by your organization's IT personnel.


1. Open the Windows Explorer and navigate to the HYSYS directory.

2. Right-click on HYSYS.EXE and select Create Shortcut from the menu.

3. Once the shortcut has been created, right-click on it and select Properties from the menu.

4. Go to the Shortcut page and modify the Target to the format:

“C:\Program Files\AEA Technology\HYSYS\HYSYS.EXE" -local

The path may be different on your computer. Note the locations of the double-quotes required because of the space between “Program” and “Files”. If there are no spaces in the path name quotes are not required.

Initiate HYSYS in local mode by double-clicking on the shortcut. The main HYSYS item in the Windows Start Menu is also a shortcut, located in the Windows directory. This shortcut can be modified instead, if desired.

2.5.2 Setting Up the Network Key for Normal Operation

The following discussion assumes the use of a Windows 2000/NT/98/95 computer as the “keyserver computer” (the computer with the network key attached to it). For other operating systems, please consult the Rainbow Technologies website at http://www.rainbow.com.

Because the keyserver computer must be operational for HYSYS users to run their software, the best choice for the keyserver computer is a one that is left on continually. The most trouble-free installation will result from a keyserver computer used only for the keyserver function. This avoids conflicts with other software.

Note that the keyserver computer does not need to be a powerful or fast computer. The powerful personal computer of a HYSYS user is one of the poorer choices for the keyserver computer. This computer can be switched off behind locked doors for the weekend, rebooted after lockup in another software program (terminating HYSYS users), or require reconfiguration to suit the needs of a new software program, causing difficulties for existing programs (like the keyserver software).

2-15


2-16

Install the Key on the Key Server Computer

To avoid damage to the computer or key, the computer should be powered down before installation of the network key. Install the key on the parallel port (printer port) of the computer that will be performing the keyserver function. The key has an arrow on it, indicating which end should be plugged into the computer.

It is possible to cascade two or more Rainbow NetSentinel-C keys on the same port if those two keys have different family codes. The family code is an identifier burned into the key by the manufacturer. A utility program from Rainbow Technologies for interrogating a NetSentinel-C key for the family code is available from AEA Technology Technical Support ([email protected]).

Install the NetSentinel System Driver Software

The Rainbow NetSentinel System Driver software is required only on computers that have the network key attached. This will generally be only the keyserver computer, but could include computers on which HYSYS is run in "local" mode (see Section 2.5.1 - Quick Start - Using the Network Key in Local Mode). The System Driver software enables communication with the key, either by the keyserver software or by HYSYS itself, when run in "local" mode.

Windows 2000/NT computers require the System Driver software. On Windows 98/95, the System Driver software may or may not be required. Try operation without the System Driver software, but if the keyserver software or HYSYS in local mode is unable to find the key, load the System Driver software as the first diagnostic step.

To install the System Driver software on Windows 2000/NT, run SETUPX86.EXE located in the \NETDISK\DRIVERS\WIN_NT subdirectory of the HYSYS software CD.

To install the System Driver software on Windows 98/95, run SSNTW9X.EXE located in the \NETDISK\DRIVERS\WIN_9X subdirectory of the HYSYS software CD.


Install and Run the NetSentinel Keyserver Software

There are two choices of keyserver software that can be run on the keyserver computer. Do not run both of them. The following table describes the capabilities of each.

To Install NSRVGX.EXE

1. Copy NSRVGX.EXE from the \NETDISK\SERVERS\WIN32 subdirectory of the HYSYS software CD to a location on the hard disk of the keyserver computer.

2. Execute NSRVGX.EXE. The following table lists all available command line options. NSRVGX.EXE displays a copyright message as it loads. The program will load minimized. To view connection information, maximize the server.

3. To unload NSRVGX.EXE, close the program.

KeyServer Software Configuration

NSRVGX.EXE

Can be run on Windows 2000/NT/98/95.

Concurrently supposts TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBIOSand NetBEUI as network protocals.

To run HYSYS on users’ computers,

1. Create a shortcut to HYSYS.EXE (on the desktop or in the Start menu).

2. Set the Start In directory to a directory on the local hard disk (e.g. C:\AEA Technology\HYSYS). On startup, HYSYS will search this directory for the user's preferences file (HYSYS.PRF).

3. In this directory, create the subdirectories CASES, PAKS and USER.

4. Start HYSYS and, from the menu bar, select Tools, then Preferences.

5. Go to the Files tab of the Session Preferences view and select Locations.

6. Configure the Default Files and Paths as is shown in the accompanying Figure 2.10. These are suggestions only and some modification may be required depending on the circumstances.

7. Select the Save Preference Set button, and direct the file save operation to the HYSYS working directory on the local disk.

Figure 2.10


2.5.4 Potential Problems Running the Network Key Version of HYSYS

While using TCP/IP as the network communications protocol, HYSYS.Network is unable to connect to the network security key.

Unless directed to do otherwise, HYSYS generates a general broadcast message on startup, in search of the keyserver computer. Depending on the IP address of client and keyserver computer, broadcast mask in use and router configuration on the network, this general broadcast message may not be received at the keyserver computer. To resolve this problem, HYSYS can be configured to send a directed message to the IP address of the keyserver. To do this, create a text file called HYSYS.INI in the main HYSYS directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\AEA Technology\HYSYS) containing the following two lines (making the appropriate IP address substitution).

[RainbowKey]BroadcastAddress=192.139.200.134

Note the square brackets on the first line and the lack of any spaces on the second line. This fix will not impact on WINMON's (the monitor tool installed with the network key version of HYSYS) failure to communicate with a network keyserver.

While using IPX/SPX as the network communications protocol, HYSYS.Network is unable to connect to the network security key.

Check to see if routers between the client and keyserver computer are filtering SAP broadcast messages with an ID of 0361.

There is a suspicion that other operating copies of the keyserver software on the network are interfering with the ability of HYSYS.Network to connect to its network key.

Unless directed to do otherwise via a command line option, the keyserver software initiates with the default "department name" of NETINEL.

2-23


2-24

It is necessary for each keyserver to have a unique identifier. To ensure this, the keyserver software broadcasts a message on startup requesting that like-department-named keyservers respond. If no other keyservers respond, an initiating copy of the keyserver software using the default "NETINEL" department name would take the unique name NETINEL0. If a previously operating NETINEL0 had responded to the broadcast message generated by this copy of the keyserver software on startup, this second keyserver would have taken the name NETINEL1.

There can be a maximum of five keyservers with the same department name visible to each other on the network (the defaults would be NETINEL0 - NETINEL4). Unless directed to do otherwise, when HYSYS initiates, it begins its search for its network key by interrogating NETINEL0, followed by NETINEL1 and so on up to NETINEL4.

The network key technology used by HYSYS is used by other non-AEA Technology software. It is possible that another "NETINEL" named keyserver cannot be added to the network for use with the HYSYS key because there are already five operating keyservers. It is also possible (although unlikely) that some configuration issue on the network allows, for example, a NETINEL0 keyserver to be initiated servicing the HYSYS key while at the same time there is a pre-existing NETINEL0 keyserver servicing another key on the network.

To move away from the default "NETINEL" department name for HYSYS.Network, modifications must be made to the keyserver software, the monitor software (WINMON.EXE) and to HYSYS itself.

Use the command line option "/dn:" to specify a non-default department name for the keyserver software on startup.

The easiest way to reconfigure WINMON.EXE to search for non-default department-named keyservers is to directly edit the configuration file MAPFILE.TXT.

To direct HYSYS to search for non-default named keyservers, create a text file called HYSYS.INI in the main HYSYS directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\AEA Technology\HYSYS) containing the following two lines (making the appropriate substitution for the work "HYSYS", if desired).

[RainbowKey]DepartmentName=HYSYS


Note the square brackets on the first line and the lack of any spaces on the second line. Multiple entries can be make in the [RainbowKey] section of the HYSYS.INI file, as follows.

[RainbowKey]DepartmentName=HYSYSBroadcastAddress=192.139.200.134

HYSYS displays the message "Error X: No more users are allowed on this Network Security key or there are no valid operating AEA Technology network Security Keys. Use one of the supplied Rainbow Technologies key monitoring programs for further information. (Error sub-code -10)"

Other software also uses the third-party network keys used with HYSYS. Every AEA Technology NetSentinel-C key has an Algorithm ID of 498D (one of the parameters displayed in the WINMON interface). When HYSYS started up and searched on the network for operating copies of the keyserver software, it found one of two possible things.

1. It didn't find any copies of the keyserver software that were servicing 498D keys, but it did find one or more that were servicing non-498D keys.

2. It did find a 498D key, but all of the licenses on the key were in use.

HYSYS displays the message "Error X: Cannot find a Security Key Server on the network. No operating copies of the necessary Security Key Software can be found. (Error sub-code -12)

When HYSYS started up, it looked for operating copies of the appropriately department-named keyserver software on the network, but didn't find any. Running WINMON.EXE at this point, on the same computer, should yield the same results, assuming that HYSYS and WINMON are configured to search for keyservers of the same “department name.” Check the first two items in this trouble-shooting section for reasons as to why this may be happening.

2-25


2-26

HYSYS displays the message "Error X: A AEA Technology network Security Key was found that has an Invalid Serial Number. No more licenses were available on other valid AEA Technology network Security Keys. Use one of the supplied Rainbow Technologies key monitoring programs for further information. (Error sub-code -14)"

HYSYS found a 498D (AEA Technology) key, gained a license on it, interrogated the key to ensure that the key was coded for operation with this software, discovered that was not the case, released the license on that key, went looking for another, and didn't find one.

HYSYS displays the message "Error X: Invalid Network Protocol selection for connection to the network Security Key. (Error sub-code -19)"

If operating HYSYS in "local" mode, ensure that the "NetSentinel System Driver Software" has been installed. If operating in normal network mode, this error message indicates that HYSYS is unable access the network protocols on the computer.

3.1 Interface Basics

3.1.1 Windows FunctionalityECONOMIX has the same basic features as found in other Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0 based programs.

• Minimize , Maximize/Restore and Close buttons located in theupper right corner of most views.

• Close box located in the upper left corner of most views, whichcontains the normal Windows 3.x menu.

Most of the different views which are found in ECONOMIX are resizable to some degree. The following list provides a brief description on resizable views:

• Minimize , Maximize/Restore and Close buttons available -view can be resized vertically and horizontally

• Minimize and Close button available - view can be resizedvertically only

• Close button or Close and Pin buttons available - view cannotbe resized.

3.1.2 Primary Interface ElementsAlthough information can be supplied and accessed a variety of ways, there are four primary interface elements for interacting with ECONOMIX.

• The PFD is a graphical environment for building your Flowsheetand examining process connectivity. Process information canbe displayed for each individual stream or operation as needed.

• The Basis Input Data property view which contains multipletabs wherein you can supply the necessary information toperform the rating and economic calculations for the project.

• The Reports Output Data property view which containsmultiple tabs and pages which display the results of thecalculations that were carried out based on informationcontained on the Basis Input Data property view.

3.1.3 ObjectsThe term Object is used extensively throughout the documentation to refer to an individual stream or operation. Within ECONOMIX, information associated with an object can be displayed in a variety of ways (Workbook, PFD, Property View, etc.). Through the object oriented design of ECONOMIX, the information displayed by each interface element is tied to the same underlying object. The result is that if a parameter changes in the Flowsheet it is automatically updated in every location.

Associated with the display of information is the procedure of Object Inspection. Displays of an object (for example an icon in a PFD) are tied to appropriate commands for that object, i.e., printing, direct access to a property view, etc. On the following pages we will illustrate how the pieces and capabilities of the ECONOMIX interface work together.

On the following pages the major interface elements of ECONOMIX, with some of the time saving features built into each, are discussed. Each of these elements can be opened simultaneously, and offer different representations of the same information. No matter where you are working - supplying information or installing new streams or operations - every interface element automatically updates with the new

Active View/Active Location

Although several views can be displayed on the Desktop at any time, only one view is Active or has Focus. This is indicated by the view’s title bar being highlighted. Within that view, there is again only one location that is Active. Depending on the location of the “focus” (cell, button, etc.) the exact form of the highlighting can vary. In the previous view, (Figure 3.5), an example of an Active Location is shown, the input cell for Design Pressure Adder has the focus in this case.

Group BoxOrganizational border within a page that groupsrelated functions together. Each group box hasits own active location.

3.1.6 The Property ViewA Property View is a view that contains multiple tabs, contained within a single border. These are used extensively in ECONOMIX to allow access to all information associated with an item in a single view.

A common structure has been adopted for the Property Views. Once you have become familiar with the format and usage of one Property View, each additional one you encounter will behave and be structured in a similar manner.

One example of a typical property view is shown above in Figure 3.6.

Accessing Property Pages Via the Page Tabs

Moving between tabs can be done in several ways:

• Select the desired tab with the mouse.• Use the Hot Key combination <Ctrl><Shift><N> , which will

cycle you through the tabs (<Ctrl><Shift><P> cyclesbackwards).

• Place the mouse pointer to the direct left or right of the tabs(remaining inside the border of the property view). The cursorwill change to a ‘tab switch’ cursor which points in the directionin which the tabs will be cycled. Click the primary mouse buttonto cycle through the tabs.

Several time saving features have been built into the Property View:

• ECONOMIX will always remember which tab you were last on,returning to that tab automatically the next time you open thatview. Each Property View remembers its settingsindependently; for example, two different streams couldautomatically open to different tabs.

• There are various ways of moving from one tab to the nextincluding selecting the desired tab or by using the Hot Keycombination.

Supplying or specifying input is accomplished in a variety of manners. Some definitions and terminology will be presented in order to adequately explain the functionality and capabilities of ECONOMIX.

The mouse pointer will not change if the first or last page tab is active AND the pointer is placed to either the left or right, respectively, of the tabs.

3-13


3-14

Tabs

Each Property View is made up of several tabs, which are displayed at the bottom of the View. These tabs provide a logical grouping for the object information. Note that in Figure 3.6, the Plant Bulks tab is highlighted and appears to be on top of the other tabs, which indicates that it is the current tab.

Pages

In general, each tab will provide access to more than one page or view The section on the left side of the property view has the same name as the current tab. Within this section is a list of available pages, with the current page being highlighted. The information contained on a specific page may be accessed by simply selecting the page from the list. This ‘page index’ is always present for the specific tab and its appearance is not dependent upon the selection of the page.

Cells

This is a location in a view for supplying or viewing information, e.g., stream names, temperatures, etc. Cells can be present as single fields (Input Stream cell on a unit operation) or contained within a group as part of a Matrix. An example of Matrix Cells are those found in the Worksheet tab of every unit operation views.

In many cases, cells present as a single field have an associated drop down list, indicated by a down arrow next to the field. This produces a list of available options associated with that field. If the cell is in a Matrix, then the drop down list may be in the Edit Bar.

Highlight Location

The current active location is always indicated by highlighting. Typically this occurs on two levels. First, the actual view (property view for example) will have the title bar appear in a different colour than other open inactive views. Second, the active input cell will be indicated with a heavier border, and may also have the contents appear with a highlight. Figure 3.6 shows various types of highlighting. The dashed box in the Plant Areas Categories group box is one type and the enlarged size of the page tab for Plant Bulks is another highlighting indicator.

See Section 1.2.4 - Supplying Input in the HYSYS User’s Guide for a more detailed description of the Edit Bar.

Interface 3-15

3.1.7 Selecting ItemsSelecting refers to either picking a specific item from a list, or invoking a button command. There are four types of selecting in ECONOMIX.

3.2 Manoeuvring Through the Interface

ECONOMIX uses Windows conventions regarding interaction between the user and the application. These are described in the following sections.

3.2.1 Hot Keys - <Alt><Key>Most Labels, including the items on the Menu Bar, input cell identifiers, and Button labels, have a single letter underlined. This letter works in conjunction with the <Alt> key as a Hot Key combination, the result of which varies depending on the label type.

• For Menu Bar Items (Edit for example), pressing <Alt> <E> willopen the drop down menu under Edit.

Method Description

Selecting a cellUsing the mouse, move the cursor to thelocation and use the primary mouse button toselect.

Selecting a button

Select with the primary mouse button, or movethe focus location (using the <Tab> key or<Shift><Tab> combination) and press<Enter> .

Selecting from a dropdown menu or list

Move the focus location into the drop down,and use the mouse pointer or keyboard arrowsto highlight the selection, then press <Enter> toselect.

Multiple list selections

Press the primary mouse button and drag thecursor over the items you wish to select(provided they are all sequential in the list).Release the mouse button after you haveselected the desired items. Alternatively, youcan highlight sequential items by selecting thefirst item in the list, holding down the <Shift>key and selecting the last item in the list. If theitems are not sequential, select the first itemwith the primary mouse button and then selectadditional items with the mouse while holdingdown the <Ctrl> key.

HYSYS uses a number of Hot Keys for performing commands. For a list, refer to preface of the HYSYS User’s Guide or to the HYSYS Quick Reference Guide.

The mouse can be used to move the active location to any cell by moving the pointer over the cell and pressing the primary mouse button.

3-15

3-16 Manoeuvring Through the Interface

3-16

• For Input Cell Identifiers (Name, for example), pressing<Alt><N> will move the active location directly to that input cell.

• For Buttons (Close , for example), pressing <Alt><C> willinvoke the button command.

Keep in mind that any keyboard input applies to the active view. For example, if an input cell identifier on the active view has the letter F underlined, you cannot directly open the File Menu by <Alt> <F>, as your input will be applied to the active view.

The <Alt> key by itself automatically advances the active location to the first item in the Menu Bar (File). The keyboard arrows move left and right through the row, and the down arrow opens the active menu item. If a drop down menu has underlined letters, you can invoke the command by using that letter only. For example, with the File menu open, you can Save a case by pressing the <S> key.

3.2.2 Moving Through a ViewWhen moving through a view using the keyboard functions, you will notice that each input cell and button is accessed sequentially. You can move the active location using the <Tab> (forward) and <Shift><Tab> (reverse) keys. If the active location is on a cell in a matrix, the <Tab> key will not advance you to the next cell in that matrix, but to the next active location in the view. This location may be a button or another group.

ECONOMIX indicates the active location of the cursor in a view in one of two ways:

• In the case of an input cell, the active location is indicated by athicker border around the cell.

Figure 3.7

Interface 3-17

• In the case of a button, the perimeter of the button will behighlighted and the label will be surrounded by a dashed box.

3.2.3 Supplying Input

Text Input

In ECONOMIX, input is required on the Basis Input Data property view. When the required input is textual there are instances where you are required to either supply the input from the keyboard (e.g. company name) by simply entering the text and pressing <Enter>, or choose the input from the Edit Bar at the top of the property view (as shown in Figure 3.5.

Figure 3.8

Shows input cell asthe Active Location

If this radio button was the active location, pressing <Tab>would advance to the General Equipment Sizing andDesign group, while <Shift><Tab> would move back to theRestore Default Basis button at the bottom of the view.

If Run All Phases was the active location, pressing<Tab> would advance the highlight to Save NewBasis button, while <Shift><Tab> would reverse thehighlight to the Run Phase button.

3-17


3-18

Input is selected from the Edit Bar drop down list when the input is related to the ICARUS database to ensure that the naming conventions and spelling are correct (relative to ICARUS). To supply input for this type of cell, do one of the following:

• Click in the input cell and then click on the Drop Down Listbutton beside the Edit Bar. A drop down list appears whichdisplays all the available inputs from which you can select byclicking on the appropriate input with the mouse.

• Click in the input cell and then press the <SpaceBar> to openthe Edit Bar drop down list. Manoeuvre through the list ofinputs using the up and down arrow keys and then press<Enter> to select the input.

Numerical Input

If the input is numerical, the approach is slightly different. Views that accept numerical input use the Edit Bar, which is redrawn to include a Unit Box, as shown in Figure 3.5. The Unit Box will display the current default unit for the input cell property. When you begin supplying a number for a numerical input cell, your input is echoed in the Edit Bar. When you have supplied the number and have pressed <Enter>, ECONOMIX assumes that the default unit was correct and transfers the value back to the input cell.

Drop Down List Button

Figure 3.9

Interface 3-19

If you are supplying the number with a different unit than the default, there are two methods available for identifying it.

Figure 3.10

As numerical input for aparameter (e.g. temperature)is supplied for the first time, itis echoed in the Edit Bar atthe top of the view.

While ECONOMIX is matching your input to the list of units, you can stop entering text and use any of the other methods for locating the unit (such as selecting it with the mouse or using the up and down arrows).

Method Action

KeyboardInput a space after the number and then begin typing inthe unit. The unit becomes highlighted in the Unit Boxdrop down list.

MouseAfter supplying the numerical value, but before pressing<Enter> , open the drop down list and locate the desiredunit

3-20

Drop Down Lists and Scroll Bars

Drop down lists are used extensively in ECONOMIX to provide an efficient means of locating existing streams, operations, or units. These menus can be accessed either via the mouse, or by using keyboard input. Once a drop down list is opened, you manoeuvre through the list using the mouse or keyboard.

A drop down list for a Text input cell, can be opened at any time by using the primary mouse button to select the applicable arrow box. This not only opens the menu, but moves the active location to that input cell. You can also open the drop down list for the current active cell by pressing the keyboard down arrow. If the stream is being attached for the first time, the highlight in the drop down list will be at the top of the list. If the input cell already has a stream in it, the highlight will be on that stream.

Figure 3.11

Display the Unit Box drop downlist after supplying a numericalvalue by selecting the downarrow.

As you supply more of the unit, thehighlight will move through the listcovering the unit that most closelymatches your input. Pressing<Enter> accepts both the numberand the unit. The value isrecalculated using the default unitand is transferred to the ActiveLocation.

When you begin entering the units, the UnitBox drop down menu automatically opens.

The <F2> key opens the drop down list in the Edit Bar.

Interface 3-21

For a numerical input cell, the drop down list is located next to the Edit Bar at the top of the view, and contains the Unit Box. This automatically opens as soon as you stop supplying numerical input (signified by a <space>) and begin entering the unit. Alternatively, the drop down list can be opened at any time (which terminates the number entry) by selecting the arrow box.

Once a drop down list is opened, you can manoeuvre through it in several ways:

• The most convenient method is via type-matching. Once adrop down list is open, keyboard input is interpreted to find thefirst menu item which best matches your input. As you continueto supply input, the matching continues. Pressing <Enter>terminates the string and accepts the highlighted item. You canalso use the keyboard arrow keys to move to any item.

• If the menu contains six items or less, it appears without ascroll bar. In this case, you can use the mouse to directly selectthe desired item, or use the up and down keyboard arrows tomark the item and then select it with the <Enter> key.

• The <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys move the menu byone page, and the <Home> and <End> keys take you to thefirst and last item respectively. The desired item is selected byhighlighting it and pressing <Enter> .

Figure 3.12

• The Scroll Bar/Scroll Button provides similar functionality.Selecting the Up and Down Scroll Arrows advance the menuby one item. The scroll button can be selected with the primarymouse button and dragged up and down to quickly scroll themenu.

• Selecting the space between the scroll button and the scrollarrow advances the menu up or down one page. The desireditem can then be selected with the primary mouse button.

3.2.4 Editing InputEditing input can be done in two ways. When the input cell is active, any information you supply will overwrite the previous input. Likewise, you can use the drop down list to replace previous input.

Interface 3-23

You have a choice when editing numerical input.

• If you simply type in a new value and press <Enter> ,ECONOMIX accepts the input and assumes it is in the defaultunits.

• You can change the units using the methods describedpreviously.

• Another method is via selective modification. With this route,you place an insertion point somewhere in the string and makeselective changes. Pressing <Enter> or selecting the AcceptChange box to accept the changes. You can abort them byselecting the Cancel Change box.

3.2.5 Closing ViewsThere are four ways to close a view:

• Double click on the Close Box in the upper left hand corner ofthe view.

• Click once on the Close Box to open the drop down menu. theClose function in this drop down menu has the C underlined.Press the <C> to close the view.

• <Ctrl><F4> closes the active view.• Click on the Close button in the upper right hand corner of the

view.

To make an Insertion Point somewhere in the number, use the mouse or press <F2> and use the arrow keys. You can then make selective changes.

Example 2 5-3

This tutorial will provide you with an opportunity to interact with the ECONOMIX environment in detail and to modify various settings and parameters in the Project Input Data view. The example will guide you through the whole process which starts from opening a HYSYS simulation case, importing the simulation into ECONOMIX, modifying input data in the Project Input Data view and finally generating a cost and design report in the Reports Output Data view. You will use the Tutor3.hsc case stored in the HYSYS.Plant\Samples directory to complete this example.

In this Get Started example, a flowsheet for the production of propylene glycol is presented. Propylene oxide is combined with water to produce propylene glycol in a continuously-stirred-tank reactor (CSTR). The reactor outlet stream is then fed to a distillation tower. The flowsheet for this case is shown below:

You need to have HYSYS running before proceeding any further. Consult your HYSYS manual for further details.

Opening the Case

To open an existing case in HYSYS, do one of the following:

• Select Open Case from the File Menu.• Press the Open Case button on the Tool Bar.

Figure 5.4

Example 2 5-7

are now ready to move into ECONOMIX.

8. To enter the ECONOMIX environment, press the Enter Economix Environment button on the button bar.

ECONOMIX Environment

When you enter the ECONOMIX Environment, the initial view that appears is the Project Input Data view where you are brought to the Basis Phase tab. This view allows you to enter various parameters for creating a customized design and cost report.

Information is entered in phases outlined in four distinct tabs. You can only enter data in a sequential format in this environment. Once each phase (tab) is complete, the Run Phase button will move the phase tab to the next phase utilizing data from the previous phase(s). The Run All Phases button would run all the phases non-stop and generate a cost and design report automatically without requiring any further

Note that ECONOMIX treats the Tower (column) unit operation from HYSYS as a combination of three main unit operations: a Tray Section, Reboiler and Condenser. Furthermore, the Condenser unit will also have two sub unit operations attached to it: a Separator drum and a Pump. Thus importing an entire column into ECONOMIX, in fact imports the column as five individual unit operations, as illustrated in this example.

Enter Economix Environment Button

Note that the transition between HYSYS and the ECONOMIX environment might take from a few seconds to several minutes based on your system configuration and availability of resources.

parameters.

Let us begin by modifying some of the default global settings in the Basis Phase.

Basis Phase

The Basis Phase tab allows you to define default global settings for the current case. Allowing the user to define global selection and design settings can be useful for large flowsheets with many similar unit operations. These global settings will assist the user in the remaining Selection, Sizing and Design phases.

9. Move to the General Project page if not already selected and click the Minimum Basis radio button.

10. Select on the Project Installation Type cell.

By default, ECONOMIX has chosen the type as Grass Roots/Clear field. Suppose you would like to modify this field to define the type as a plant

Example 2 5-9

modification instead.

11. Open the drop-down list of items in the Edit Bar by clicking on it and select Plant Modification/Revamp from the list.

12. Select on the Contingency Percent cell.

By default, ECONOMIX has defined a 20% contingency factor. Suppose the contractor uses a 15% contingency instead:

13. With the cell selected, type 15 and then press <Enter>. The contingency percent has changed to 15.0000:

14. Select the Project Basis radio button and examine the information listed.

15. Click on the Process Control cell.

By default, ECONOMIX has chosen the type as Digital. Assume, the operation will be controlled using PLCs.

16. Select PLC: Programmable Logic Controllers using the drop-down list in the Edit Bar. The control type has changed to PLC:

17. Select the Title Block radio button and examine the information listed.

Figure 5.6

5-10

If you wish, you may modify the various cells from the Title Block radio button. These cells display report information (Project Name, Job Number etc.) which will be displayed in the printed report.

18. Move to the Global Selection page.

This page allows you to define global default settings for each equipment type by selecting the appropriate radio button from the Equipment Categories list.

NOTE: You must turn the auto select Off to have an equipment type change take effect.

Note that you can still modify each individual equipment item’s settings from the Selection Phase tab; however, the defaults, you initially see in the Selection Phase, will be based on these global selection settings. Since we have only four imported equipment items, global selection settings are really not very relevant to this example since we can modify each item’s settings on the Selection Phase tab later. Global selection settings are more useful for large flowsheets with many similar unit operations.

19. Move to the Global Sizing/Design page.

This page allows you to define the default design settings for each equipment type by selecting the appropriate radio button from the Equipment Categories list.

Examine the various information detailed for each equipment category by selecting the appropriate radio button. An extensive range of design details exists for each category. To illustrate the use of global selection settings, do the following:

Figure 5.8

Example 2 5-11

20. Select the Towers radio button from the Equipment Categories list. This category defines the default design parameters for all Tower types.

21. From the Tower Type group, select the Trayed radio button.

22. The Trayed Tower Design group should appear below. Select the General radio button if not already selected.

23. Click on the Tray type cell. By default, ECONOMIX has chosen the type as Sieve Tray. Change this default setting to Bubble Cap Trays using the drop-down list in the Edit Bar.

24. Press the Run Phase button to move to the Selection Phase tab.

NOTE: The Reset to Basis Phase button can be clicked at the end of any phase if you are not satisfied with the previous phase selections or you would like to rerun the same case with different settings. You must be aware that this will delete all previous modifications to the input values.

Included in the functions that can only be accessed via the Menu Bar are setting the Session Preferences (units, default naming schemes, etc.) and accessing the Script Manager.

In this section, a description of each of the options that are available through the Menu Bar will be provided. In cases where the options have been described elsewhere in greater detail, only a quick review will be provided. Others, such as Session Preferences and Scripting will be described completely.

You can access the Menu Bar options in three ways:

• Select the desired Menu Bar item using the primary mousebutton, which will automatically open the associated menu.

• Use the <Alt> key in combination with the underlined letter inthe Menu Bar title. For example, <Alt><T> will open the Toolsmenu.

• Use the <Alt> key by itself to move the active location to theFile option in the Menu Bar. Once the Menu Bar becomes theActive location in HYSYS, you can manoeuvre through it usingthe keyboard. The up and down arrows move through themenu associated with a specific item, while the left and rightarrows move you to the next Menu Bar item, automaticallyopening the associated menu.

If you want to switch focus from the Menu Bar without making a selection, press the <Esc> key or the <Alt> key.

The purpose of this document is to outline the Equipment Selection and Sizing procedures used in ECONOMIX.

12.1 SelectionECONOMIX “Selection” refers to the process of creating one or more pieces of physical process equipment from a given HYSYS unit operation. Many unit operations have an automatic selection option, where ECONOMIX will select a piece or pieces of equipment based on process conditions and some pre-defined rules. All unit operations have a "manual" selection option, where the user can specify the equipment type to be used for a given unit operation. When the Selection Phase is run, the selection method (either automatic or manual) will be applied to unit operations in the case. The user can then edit the selected equipment type for each unit operation on the Selection Phase tab.

12.1.1 Automatic Selection MethodsThe following section gives details of the automatic selection rules.

Separator, 3-Phase Separator

If an energy stream is attached to the separator, a jacketed process vessel is selected. Otherwise, a standard process vessel is selected. There is also an option for automatic selection of separator orientation. If the vapour mass loading (i.e. the mass fraction of vapour in the combined feed stream) is greater than the maximum allowed for a horizontal separator, the orientation is vertical; otherwise it is horizontal. You can set the maximum vapour loading in the Separator Sizing and Design Basis.

12-3

12-4 Selection

12-4

Tank

The following table describes the selection logic for storage tanks.

In the case of Liquid as the stored product type, the Selection proceeds from top to bottom; i.e. a condition takes precedence over another condition which appears below it in the table. For example, if a liquid storage vessel has a design temperature of -100o F, it will be selected as a Cryogenic Storage Tank regardless of Design Pressure and Design Vacuum.

Partial Condenser, 3-Phase Condenser

The same selection logic as with separators applies to the orientation of the reflux accumulator drum for these condensers. Note that the total condenser is not included, because the reflux drum feed is always 100% liquid.

Compressor

Each compressor equipment type has allowable operating ranges for actual volume capacity, required driver power, inlet and outlet temperature, and inlet and outlet pressure. Each of the equipment types is given a rating based on the operating conditions of the compressor unit operation. A given operating variable is given the highest rating if it falls in the midpoint of the allowable range. If the operating variable falls outside the allowable range, the variable is given a zero rating. The composite rating of the compressor is the product of the individual variable ratings. The compressor with the highest composite rating is then selected. You can specify to use this methodology on the set of gas compressors only, air compressors only, or both.

Theory 12-5

Plug Flow Reactor

If packing exists (i.e. Void Fraction < 1.0), a Single-diameter Packed Tower is selected. If there is no packing, a Vertical Standard Process Vessel is selected. If there is no packing and an energy stream is attached, a Vertical Jacketed Process Vessel is selected.

CSTR

If there is an energy stream, an Agitated Tank - Enclosed & Jacketed is used. If the CSTR is operating within 1 psi of atmospheric pressure, and Agitated Tank - Open Top is used. Otherwise, an Agitated Tank - Enclosed is used.

Cyclone

If the Number of Parallel Cyclones is 1, or if the inlet actual volume flow is less than 900 ft3/min, a single Cyclone Dust Collector is selected. Otherwise, a Multiple-Cyclone Dust Collector is used.

Heater

If the outlet temperature is less than the temperature of the hottest available utility fluid (taking into account the minimum approach temperature), a floating-head shell and tube exchanger is selected. Otherwise, an A-frame Type Process furnace is selected.

12.2 Sizing

General (applies to all Equipment Types)

For all unit operations, Design Pressure, Design Vacuum and Design Temperature are calculated. ECONOMIX determines the minimum and maximum operating pressure and temperature by checking all streams attached to the unit operation. The Design calculations are as follows:

(12.1)Design Pressure1 Maximum Operating Pressure (gauge)Design Pressure Multiplier

×=

12-5

12-6 Sizing

12-6

If the unit operation is not operating under pressure (i.e. vacuum conditions), the Design Pressure is 0 psig. If the unit operation is a Tank, and it is operating below 15 psig, Design Pressure1 is used only.

If the minimum operating pressure is below atmospheric (i.e. < 0 psig), vacuum design is required:

The minimum allowable Design Vacuum is -14.7 psig.

Design Temperature is calculated simply by applying the adder to the operating temperature:

If the unit operation is operating below the Design Temperature Cold Point, the adder is not applied and Design Temperature = Operating Temperature.

Separator, 3-Phase Separator (Equipment Type: Process Vessel)

The ECONOMIX Sizing routines are based on the publications of Svrcek & Monnery1,2. These sizing methods apply to separators and 3-phase separators selected as Standard, Jacketed or Multi-Walled Process Vessels.

Depending on the sizing input specifications, multiple solution sets may be generated for a given separator. ECONOMIX will select a solution set based on the selection criteria (minimum weight, minimum diameter, or minimum height/length). If desired, the user

can change the selected solution set. The selected solution set dimensions will be committed to the Design Phase.

Tank (Equipment Type: all possible Tank selections)

Tanks are sized based on the following equations:

If the Total Capacity exceeds the Maximum Capacity per Tank, multiple tanks are created by rounding up Equation (12.9) to the nearest whole number, i.e.,

The required tank dimensions are then calculated based on the Tank Capacity (min.) and L/D or H/D ratio:

where: Factor = 4 for cylinder, 6 for sphere or spheroid

Ratio = L/D or H/D ratio

The dimensions are always rounded up to the nearest 6", so the tank capacity is then re-calculated:

12-8

Tray Section (Equipment Type: Standard Tower, Trayed or Packed)

Tray sizing in ECONOMIX is similar to the auto-section feature in the HYSYS tray sizing utility. The actual tower equipment design type (single-diameter or double diameter) depends on the user selection (in the Selection Phase) and the number of sections calculated by sizing.

For example, if tray sizing calculated 3 sections with diameters of 4ft, 6ft and 8ft, and you have selected a single-diameter design, the tower will be 8 ft diameter. If you select a double-diameter design, it will have a bottom section diameter of 8ft and a top section diameter of 6ft. Note that double-diameter towers can be used only if sizing calculates more than one section.

Air Cooler (Equipment Type: Aerial Cooler)

The HYSYS Cooler, Air Cooler, and all Condensers can be selected as an Aerial Cooler equipment type. Aerial cooler sizing is based generally on the method outlined in the Gas Processors Suppliers Association Engineering Data Book, Revised Tenth Edition, 1994, Volume I, Section 10. It is an iterative procedure involving the convergence of a number

The tubeside pressure drop is calculated using the Beggs & Brill correlation. Both single-phase and two-phase pressure drop is supported. If the calculated pressure drop exceeds the maximum allowable, the number of tube passes is reduced by one until the pressure drop specification is satisfied.

Tubeside Heat Transfer Coefficient

The tubeside heat transfer coefficient calculation depends on whether the aerial cooler is operating in condensing or single-phase service.

Condensing Service

For condensing service, the condensing coefficient is calculated according to the method of Boyko and Kruzhilin (from “Process Heat Transfer” by Hewitt, Shires and Bott, CRC Press, 1994, pp. 682-683):

The overall tubeside coefficient is the average of the inlet and outlet condensing coefficients:

Air Properties, Flow and Heat Transfer Coefficient

The average air properties (mass density, thermal conductivity, heat capacity and viscosity) are calculated using the inlet and outlet air temperature. The required mass flow of air per bay is calculated as follows:

The air velocity is then calculated based on the air properties and mass flow, as well as the exchanger and tube geometry. The air Reynolds and Prandtl numbers are calculated, and finally the air heat transfer coefficient is estimated.

Fan Calculations

The fan diameter is calculated according to the following equation:

Initially the Number of Fans per Bay is set to the minimum specified. If the calculated fan diameter exceeds the maximum allowable fan diameter, the Number of Fans per Bay is incremented by one and the fan diameter is re-calculated.

The power per fan is then calculated using the air properties, air flow, exchanger geometry and fan diameter.

Cooler, Heater, Heat Exchanger, Reboiler, Condenser (Equipment Type: Shell & Tube Exchanger)

ECONOMIX shell and tube exchanger sizing is based on AEA Technology’s Shell and Tube exchanger design program HTFS.TASC. For each exchanger, the TASC calculation engine, which is embedded into ECONOMIX, runs in Design mode. A TASC input file produced by ECONOMIX is located in the <HYSYS Install Path>\Scripts \HeatExchangers directory and is called Hestdes.TAI. The data contained in this input file will always be for the exchanger which was most recently sized by ECONOMIX. The file can be opened using a full version of TASC in order to perform a more detailed thermal design.

Refer to the TASC documentation for further information. The HYSYS Heat Exchanger, Cooler, Heater, Condenser (all types) and Reboiler (all types) can be mapped to a Shell and Tube Exchanger equipment type.

Heater, General Reactor (Equipment Type: Furnace)

A very simple sizing calculation is performed for Furnaces:

The HYSYS Heater and the General Reactors (Gibbs, Equilibrium, Conversion) can be selected as a Furnace equipment type. For the General Reactors, the Absorber Duty will come from an attached energy stream (if present).

Compressor (Equipment Type: Air or Gas Compressor)

The following equations are used for sizing:

Plug Flow Reactor (Equipment Type: Packed Tower)

A HYSYS PFR may be selected as a standard Packed Tower. The Packed Tower will have the same cross-sectional area as the multiple tubes, i.e.:

The Vessel inside Diameter is then rounded up to the nearest 6", and the Total Area is calculated as shown below.

Packing Height is then rounded to the nearest 6”. The Vessel Height, is at least 1ft greater than the Packing Height, e.g.

Plug Flow Reactor (Equipment Type: Process Vessel)

The user must supply a reactor volume in the HYSYS case. ECONOMIX does not default the reactor volume or space time, etc., because of the multitude of reaction types and kinetics available. The user-supplied reactor volume is then used to calculate the reactor dimensions:

where: Factor = 4 for cylinder, 6 for sphere or spheroid

Now the dimensions are rounded up to the nearest 6". So, the actual reactor capacity is calculated:

If there is liquid flow in the reactor,

And if the reactor is vertical,

CSTR (Equipment Type: Agitated Tank)

The same methodology as with the PFR as a Process Vessel (described above) applies to the CSTR. The Agitated Tanks have Vertical orientation.

General Reactor (Equipment Type: Agitated Tank, Process Vessel, Packed Tower, Sphere, Spheroid)

General reactor includes Gibbs, Equilibrium and Conversion type reactors. The same methodology as with the PFR as a Process Vessel (described above) applies to the General Reactor when selected as a vessel.

General Reactor (Equipment Type: Process Furnace, Box-type Reformer without Catalyst, Pyrolysis Unit)

General reactor includes Gibbs, Equilibrium and Conversion type reactors. The same methodology, as with the Heater as a Process Furnace, applies to the General Reactor when selected as a Furnace or Furnace Reactor.

Baghouse Filter (Equipment Type: Baghouse)

Baghouse filters are sized in HYSYS because the process calculations (i.e. outlet stream conditions and composition) depends on the performance/size of the baghouse. Therefore, ECONOMIX uses the HYSYS values for Bag Diameter, Area per Bag, Number of Bags Per Cell, Area per Cell, Number of Cells and Total Cell Area. One additional sizing calculation performed by ECONOMIX is:

ECONOMIX also calculates the solid, gas and total Actual Volume Flow and Mass Flow on a per Baghouse (i.e. per Cell) and Overall basis.

Cyclone (Equipment Type: Cyclone Dust Collector)

Like the Baghouse, Cyclones are sized in ECONOMIX using the HYSYS values for Cyclone Body Diameter and Number of Cyclones in Parallel. ECONOMIX calculates the solid, gas and total Actual Volume Flow and Mass Flow on a per Cyclone and Overall basis.

Hydrocyclone (Equipment Type: Water-only Cyclone - Mineral Separation)

The methodology used for the Cyclone also applies to the Hydrocyclone. ECONOMIX calculates the solid, liquid and total Actual Volume Flow and Mass Flow on a per Hydrocyclone and Overall basis.

Rotary Vacuum Filter (Equipment Type: Rotary Drum or Disk Filter)

ECONOMIX uses the HYSYS values for Filter Radius to calculate the Filter Diameter (Filter Radius * 2, rounded up to the nearest 6") and Filter Width (rounded up to the nearest 6"). The following additional calculations are also done by ECONOMIX:

ECONOMIX also calculates the solid, liquid and total Actual Volume Flow and Mass Flow on a per Filter and Overall basis.
