Cutting the Assay

Process Modeling by using Aspen HYSYS Engr. S. Zaheer Abbas

21

HYSYS calculated the Blend based on the following default values for the boiling point ranges and number of cuts per range: IBP to 800 F: 25 F per cut, generating [(800IBP)/25] hypo components 800 to 1200 F: 50 F per cut, generating 8 hypo components 1200 to 1400 F: 100 F per cut, generating 2 hypo components
