Introduction
Process simulation and engineering documentation are essential for designing, analyzing, and optimizing industrial processes in oil & gas, petrochemicals, and energy sectors. Aspen HYSYS is a leading tool used for steady-state and dynamic simulation, while Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) are critical for translating process designs into operational systems.
This 5-day intensive training program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides a practical and integrated approach to process simulation using HYSYS and the development of accurate P&IDs. It combines simulation fundamentals with engineering documentation practices to support real-world process design and operation.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in building simulation models, analyzing process performance, and generating P&IDs aligned with industry standards.
