AspenONE Version 8.4
Version 8.4 of aspenONE® Software Expands Activation Capability to Optimize Energy, Economics, and Heat Exchanger Designs
Other enhancements include a new crude assay data system and new reactor models in Aspen HYSYS® for heavy crudes and expanded solids models in Aspen Plus®
BURLINGTON, Mass — November 25, 2013 —
Aspen Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AZPN), a leading provider of software and services to the process industries, announced the availability of aspenONE V8.4 software, featuring new Activated Exchanger Design and Rating (EDR) and updates to Activated Energy and Activated Economics in Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus.In addition, the new software adds crude assay data and new reactor models for refinery modeling with Aspen HYSYS and expands solids models for chemicals in Aspen Plus.
A Unified Engineering Environment
First introduced in aspenONE V8 software, AspenTech’s breakthrough Activation capability in Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS enables process engineers to do instant analysis of heat exchangers, energy, and economics without specialist knowledge of these engineering disciplines.This unified engineering environment enables engineers to work more efficiently and achieve better results within tight project timelines.The new Activation capabilities in V8.4 software include:
• Activated EDR – The new release introduces Activated EDR, an all-new Activation capability to optimize heat exchanger design and operation.From within the new Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS engineering environment, users can do rigorous heat exchanger design and view heat exchanger status to quickly perform revamp studies and debottlenecking.
• Activated Energy – The latest Activated Energy, which automates pinch analysis for non-experts, adds the ability to group process units in a flow diagram and optimize energy across the grouping.Activated Energy also identifies optimum design modifications for energy savings and automatically recommends lower cost utilities that are available.
• Activated Economics – Powered by AspenTech’s proprietary costing engine and the process industry’s only cost estimation software, Activated Economics in V8.4 adds cost overlays to process flow diagrams, annual updates for cost estimation, and enhanced features for upstream safety standards.
Faster, More Accurate Refinery Modeling for Heavy Crudes
In V8.4, AspenTech continues to integrate the workflow between Planning and crude evaluation and Process Simulation and design.By automating the import of crude data from Aspen Assay Management into Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining, AspenTech eliminates the manual process of entering hundreds of crude data points in order to accurately model a crude slate.In addition, Aspen HYSYS V8.4 adds models for Visbreaker and Delayed Coker units required for processing heavy crudes.
Expanded Conceptual Solids Models for Specialty Chemicals
Building on solids modeling technology released in Aspen Plus V8, V8.4 bridges process engineering and particle science and extends solids modeling to non-experts.Using AspenTech’s solids models, including two new operating units, spray dryers and fluidized bed reactors, both process engineers and particle scientists are able to build designs in parallel using a common frame of reference for faster and more efficient process design.With the latest version of Aspen Plus, AspenTech expands its lead as the only company that offers process modeling of fluids and solids in one simulator.
The V8.4 release of aspenONE software, including the new releases of Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus, is available immediately.For more information, visit http://www.aspentech.com/products/v8-release/.

Jacobus Kloos, Process Engineer, Dow
“AspenTech’s new Activated Exchanger Design and Rating brings a new level of ease to trouble-shooting heat exchanger operations in processes.Activation makes any exchanger issues very apparent during the process simulation.I am confident this exciting new capability will be of immense value to my process engineering colleagues – and to me – on a day-to-day basis, helping us to operate our processes more efficiently, at lower energy cost and with greater operating reliability.”
Jay Gulotta, Process Engineer, Ambitech
“The new delayed coker unit adds another rigorous reactor model to the Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining reactor suite that I can easily tune and adjust to match plant data.The robust solver provides a stable model guaranteeing accurate results.”
Kunle Ogunde, Principal Investigator, DuPont
“The new spray dryer and fluidized bed reactor models are very useful extensions to Aspen Plus. They allow us to simulate a wider range of processes.”
Dr. Hans-Rolf Lausch, Head of Computer Aided Process Engineering & Automation, Evonik Industries AG
“Conceptual models are easy to use and enable Evonik's process engineers to describe solids equipment without being solids experts, allowing them to model and optimize entire processes. Our engineers in the CAPE & Automation department can work with the particle technology department to make the model more rigorous, leading to better collaboration and more efficient projects.”
Manolis Kotzabasakis, Executive Vice President, Products, AspenTech
“Today, process engineering is the critical intersection of process design, cost, energy use, and safety analysis.Our products bring these factors together and make it easy for engineers to evaluate them as one.This latest release of Activation – Activated EDR, Energy, and Economics – continues our vision to bring these engineering disciplines and roles closer together to share information and improve decision making.”

刚装上aspen 8.0，一看这8.4里面居然有fluidized bed reactor了，我怒啊！！！！！！
在Plus8.2中已经有fluidized bed reactor模块，但是不能添加反应，在新的版本中fluidized bed reactor可以添加反应。 zxc_000 发表于 2013-11-28 12:16
也该加减粘裂化和延迟焦化模型了。。。。对于hysys模拟炼油分馏塔，模型难收敛，KBC提出的分段计算Distop模 ...
HYSYS早就有分段计算法了，就是没KBC那么完善 也该加减粘裂化和延迟焦化模型了。。。。对于hysys模拟炼油分馏塔，模型难收敛，KBC提出的分段计算Distop模型，不知道新一代的hysys有没有这样的功能？ 古道路风 发表于 2013-11-29 09:31
HYSYS早就有分段计算法了，就是没KBC那么完善
请教一下如何使用hysys的分段算法！ 刚装上aspen 8.0，一看这8.4里面居然有fluidized bed reactor了，我怒啊！！！！！！ 还好我用的8.2，不算太落后。关键是pj技术也要更新得快才行呀 为什么不习惯更新那，增加新功能，模块更完善，难道要守旧100年！ 不错，好东西啊。这几天想学PRO 折腾了几次没装上 有谁提供下载？破解的都是些什么神仙，能赶上吗？ 什么时候有下载连接啊？哪位高手发布出来吧？ 谢谢楼主分享我用的还是7.2呢 跟新真快，不过应该变化不大，主版本号没变 呵呵，这不符合社会主义初级阶段的国情啊！ Aspen公司发飙了，跟不上科技进步的脚步。 更新真是快啊，不知道何时能够提供下载？
不知道这回又得加几个标签页进去 想下载！，能给发个下载地址吗？谢了 刚用上8.0做流程。。。。。。。。。期待8.4破解，哈哈 等待新的消息，等待有安装的东东。 更新太快了一些，有点跟不上趟了！ 这Aspen是不是疯了，不停的更新？ 哎 V7.3 还在用 这更新换代有点快 比革命发展的速度都还要快哟！ 谢谢楼主分享,用过的都说好!1 我关心的是什么时候可以用 ASPEN咋了更新的这么快· 哪里能下载？
同求下载链接 8。0还没用，8.4出来了，太快了 aspen plus真是日新月异 Aspen更新的也太快了吧 谢谢前辈谢谢前辈谢谢 真是牛叉，没办法，这速度 哈哈，不知道有什么更新 这速度盗版快赶不上了 这更新节奏要逆天啊 aspen专注升级500年 都8.4了啊，5教授威武~~ {:1106_399:}aspen是啥 哪里有啊 谢谢前辈谢谢前辈 最近更新的好快啊 为什么更新怎么快？ 软件更新太快了吧 都更新了什么啊？ 本帖最后由 ljjt 于 2013-11-26 19:21 编辑
