About this Course


📚 This Intermediate Course on Aspen Plus builds upon the basics and teaches you how to simulate more complex and realistic chemical processes, handle recycle loops, and integrate multiple unit operations efficiently.

You will simulate advanced process scenarios involving:

  • Solving Process & Convergence Strategies
  • Advanced Operations, such as Multi-stage Separation
  • Advanced Reactors (Equilibrium & Kinetic)
  • Sensitivity and Case Studies

👨‍🏫 Designed for
Engineers, graduate students, and professionals with a basic understanding of Aspen Plus who are looking to model complete processes and tackle real-world challenges.

📚 Course Approach
A hands-on, problem-solving approach with real industrial-inspired case studies and progressive learning modules.

🎯 By the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Build flowsheets with recycle and design specifications
  • Simulate heat recovery networks and integrated energy systems
  • Implement reaction kinetics and equilibrium data
  • Analyze process sensitivity and conduct parametric studies
  • Troubleshoot simulation errors and improve model robustness

🚀 Recommended for
Aspen Plus users with prior experience who want to simulate full chemical processes, including recycle loops and heat integration.

You’ll learn to:

  • Design and converge recycle systems using design specs and tear streams
  • Configure and run kinetic and equilibrium reactor models
  • Link unit operations across multiple flowsheet sections
  • Perform case studies and optimization using built-in tools
  • Use Aspen’s analysis utilities for mass and energy balances
  • Validate model assumptions with engineering judgment

Hi, I’m Emmanuel Ortega,

a.k.a. the Chemical Engineering Guy!

With five years in the chemical industry, from petrochemical plant design to polyester textiles, I bring real-world experience to show the true value of engineering knowledge.

My Expertise:

  • Process Simulation & Optimization
  • Chemical Process Design
  • Process Equipment Design
  • Automotive & Industrial Polyester Yarn Technologies
  • Online Tutoring, Online Education Management

The Courses I design are entirely dynamic. You will see theory and then apply it ASAP to a real life problem! I even use the books you are using right now in your engineering courses...

I'll see you in class!
