The petroleum characterization

Introduction

The petroleum characterization method in HYSYS will convert laboratory analyses of condensates, crude oils, petroleum cuts and

coal-tar liquids into a series of discrete hypothetical components

These petroleum hypo components provide the basis for the property package to predict the remaining thermodynamic and

.transport properties necessary for fluid modelling 

Assay

The assay contains all of the petroleum laboratory data, boiling

point curves, light ends, property curves and bulk properties. 

HYSYS uses the supplied Assay data to generate internal TBP, molecular weight, density and viscosity curves, referred to as Working Curves.

Problem Statement 

With the aid of the Oil Characterization option in HYSYS,

.model a crude oil with the following data

• The crude is the feed stock to oil

refining process

- Fluid Package: Peng Robinson

- standard Density = 29 API_60
