Aspen Dynamics 21.0

Aspen Dynamics, developed by Aspen Technology, Inc. (AspenTech), is a dynamic process simulation solution that extends steady-state models created in Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus into high-fidelity dynamic simulations. It helps process, control, and safety engineers analyze transient behavior, design and tune control strategies, validate relief and flare systems, and rehearse startup, shutdown, and upset scenarios before changes reach the plant. By enabling rigorous “what-if” testing and plantwide control evaluation, Aspen Dynamics reduces commissioning risk, improves operability, and supports safer, more reliable operations.

Key capabilities:

• Dynamic conversion of steady-state process models with rigorous thermodynamics and equipment models
• Built-in control elements (e.g., PID controllers, logic, interlocks) for control strategy design and tuning
• Scenario analysis for startups, shutdowns, disturbances, and abnormal events
• Pressure relief and flare system evaluation under dynamic conditions
• Tools to assess compressor surge protection, column stability, and overall plant responsiveness
• Support for integration with engineering workflows to accelerate debottlenecking and process optimization

Typical applications span refining, chemicals, gas processing, and energy, where teams use Aspen Dynamics to shorten project cycles, validate designs under realistic operating conditions, and enhance safety and performance across the asset lifecycle.
