About this Course
📚 This Aspen Plus Bootcamp is an intensive, practice-based course where you’ll learn by doing—through 12 real-world case studies that cover a broad range of chemical engineering applications and unit operations.
Each case study is designed to simulate industrial problems involving:
- Separation Processes (Flash, Distillation)
- Reaction Engineering (Kinetic & Equilibrium)
- Heat Exchange Networks
- Recycle Systems & Convergence
- Utility and Energy Optimization
- Property Method Selection for Real Systems
👨🏫 Designed for
Students, engineers, and professionals who want to accelerate their Aspen Plus skills with fast, real-world problem-solving experience.
📚 Course Approach
A practical, workshop-style approach—each module is centered around a different case study with guided step-by-step simulations and analysis.
🎯 By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Set up and troubleshoot complete process models
- Select thermodynamic packages for various systems
- Apply Aspen Plus tools to simulate real industrial operations
- Analyze, validate, and optimize simulation results
- Tackle simulation challenges involving recycle, separation, and reaction
🚀 Recommended for
Aspen Plus users who prefer hands-on learning and want to move quickly from theory to application.
✅ You’ll learn to:
- Simulate 12 different chemical engineering systems from scratch
- Work with both steady-state and dynamic simulation challenges
- Interpret the results using stream reports and unit summaries
- Perform sensitivity analysis and energy efficiency checks
- Translate engineering problems into Aspen simulation workflows
