AspenTech launches aspenONE Version 8.6 software for process industries

Aspen Technology Inc (AspenTech), a provider of optimisation software for the process industries, has launched Version 8.6 of aspenONE software for addressing oil, gas, chemicals, and engineering & construction (E&C) companies’ challenge to design and operate safe plants, and to accurately estimate project costs – from concept to construction – under tight deadlines.
 
The new AspenTech software includes an activated dynamics analysis – a dynamic modeling of compressors is a high value task requiring both expertise and experience. Version 8.6 of Aspen HYSYS software automates dynamic modeling with a single button click to speed up model setup and enable more process engineers to perform compressor operability screening. All companies operating compressors, especially those processing gas in upstream and midstream, will benefit from better flow assurance and reduced maintenance cost.
 
Expanded pressure safety valve design and rating in Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS makes the aspenONE solution more comprehensive. In V8.6 new fire analysis scenario calculations - accounting for latent heat and temperature change- and rupture disk sizing have been added. All functionality is available in both Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS, improving chemical and energy operators’ compliance with API 520 and 521.
