Operations Guide19

The document discusses sub-flowsheet operations in HYSYS which allow breaking up a large process simulation into individual process units modeled as "sub-flowsheets". Each sub-flowsheet has its own property view, fluid package, flowsheet objects like units and streams, process flow diagram (PFD), and workbook like the main flowsheet. Sub-flowsheets provide a flexible way to build complex simulations by modeling each process unit separately.

Sub-Flowsheet Operations 2-3

2-3
2.1 Introduction
The sub-flowsheet operation uses the multi-level flowsheet architecture
and provides a flexible, intuitive method for building the simulation.
Suppose you are simulating a large processing facility with a number of
individual process units and instead of installing all process streams and
unit operations into a single flowsheet, you can simulate each process
unit inside its own compact sub-flowsheet.
Once a sub-flowsheet operation is installed in a flowsheet, its property
view becomes available just like any other flowsheet object. Think of this
view as the outside view of the black box that represents the sub-
flowsheet. Some of the information contained on this view is the same
as that used to construct a Template type of Main flowsheet. Naturally
this is due to the fact that once a Template is installed into another
flowsheet, it becomes a sub-flowsheet in that simulation.
Whether the flowsheet is the Main flowsheet of a simulation case, or it is
contained in a sub-flowsheet operation, it possesses the following
components:
Fluid Package. An independent fluid package, consisting of a
Property Package, Components, etc. It is not necessary that
every flowsheet in the simulation have its own separate fluid
package. More than one flowsheet can share the same fluid
package.
Flowsheet Objects. The inter-connected topology of the
flowsheet. Unit operations, material and energy streams, utilities
etc.
A Dedicated PFD. A HYSYS view presenting a graphical
representation of the flowsheet, showing the inter-connections
between flowsheet objects.
A Dedicated Workbook. A HYSYS view of tabular information
describing the various types of flowsheet objects.
A Dedicated Desktop. The PFD and Workbook are home views
for this Desktop, but also included are a menu bar and a tool bar
specific to either regular or Column Sub-flowsheets.
