Density of petroleum components
Thread Content
Why is the specific gravity of the petroleum components as defined in the component specifications so different from the specific gravity obtained after process simulation? How to ensure that the specific gravity of the simulated petroleum components remains consistent with that of the actual ones. I hope experts can give some advice.
Typical petroleum simulations are carried out by dividing virtual components, so distillation curves are essential data; all these tasks can be accomplished using ASPEN’s functions for petroleum analysis and mixing. Data such as oil gravity and analysis of light-end components can also be entered in the laboratory data analysis, which will make the data more accurate. Additionally, the BKP files included with Aspen contain a large amount of oil data from various parts of the world, such as the data from the Shengli Oil Field in China
