Oil desalting process in Hysys

[alex.gutu]

Hello everyone dear colleagues,

I would like to ask you if there is way to simulate oil desalting process using process simulation tool, especially using Aspen Hysys tool (UniSim, Hysys).

If it can't do using Aspen Hysys, what other simulation tool could simulate oil desalting process.
As far as I know, in industrial processes, before entering in the long chain of refinery processes (CDU, VDU, etc.), oil support a desalting process, or in other situations demulsifier process.
So, the question that I'm interested in is, if can I simulate a desalting process using Hysys software.

Thank you in advanced.

Kindly, Alex

You can use "component separator" in HYSYS as a desalter.

Hy Javan
Do you mean "component splitter". Is that unit operation where I remove undesirable component by giving a value between 0 and 1, depending how deep I want to remove a certain component?

I'm waiting for an explanation.
Thank you Javan

Yes "component splitter" from object pallet and remove water from stream. Depend on 1st stage or 2nd stage of desalting you can remove water (for example 50% or 90% of water).

Thanks a lot Javan for your opinion. In this way it will work.
To be honest, I didn't realize that this can be a solution.

Thanks again

Best Regards,
Alex

I need to how to aspen hyses in pipeline

I've a suggestion to Aspen center in order to include simulation about desalters of oil
maybe in the next version V7.4 they 'll recognize well that
