Aspen Hysys Software
Aspen HYSYS (or simply HYSYS) is a chemical process simulator used to mathematically model chemical processes, from unit operations to full chemical plants and refineries. HYSYS is able to perform many of the core calculations of chemical engineering, including those concerned with mass balance, energy balance, vapor-liquid equilibrium, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical kinetics, fractionation, and pressure drop.[1] HYSYS is used extensively in industry and academia for steady-state and dynamic simulation, process design, performance modelling, and optimization.[2][3]
Chemical Process Design and Simulation is an accessible guide that offers information on the most important principles of chemical engineering design and includes illustrative examples of their application that uses simulation software. A comprehensive and practical resource, the text uses both Aspen Plus and Aspen Hysys simulation software. HYSYS is supposed to be more user friendly (allegedly) but it is actually dependant on personal taste, I actually prefer Aspen Plus! Typically, HYSYS will be in “run” or “Active” mode, meaning that the simulation is ran every time we change something. Aspen Plus will not be ran until we click in the “N” or “Run” button.
Etymology[edit]
HYSYS is a portmanteau formed from Hyprotech, the name of the company which created the software, and Systems.[2]

History[edit]
HYSYS was first conceived and created by the Canadian company Hyprotech, founded by researchers from the University of Calgary.[4][5] The HYSYS Version 1.1 Reference Volume was published in 1996.[6]In May 2002, AspenTech acquired Hyprotech, including HYSYS.[7] Following a 2004 ruling by the United States Federal Trade Commission, AspenTech was forced to divest its Hyprotech assets,[8] including HYSYS source code, ultimately selling these to Honeywell. Honeywell was also able to hire a number of HYSYS developers, ultimately mobilizing these resources to produce UniSim.[9] The divestment agreement specified that Aspentech would retain rights to market and develop most Hyprotech products (including HYSYS) royalty-free.[10] As of late 2016, AspenTech continues to produce HYSYS.[11]
