Hyprotech Announces Major Advance in Gas Processing Technology by Releasing HYSYS Simulation Environment With AMSIM for Amines Modeling.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com and at www.newstream.com CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2001 Hyprotech Partnership with DBR DBR Drum-Buffer-Rope DBR Distributed Bragg Reflector dBr Decibel (reference value) DBR Deterministic Bit Rate DBR Daily Business Review DBR Dual Band Radar DBR Disclosure-Based Regulation Results in Best-in-Class Tool for Optimizing Sour Gas/Liquid Process Designs Hyprotech Ltd. and the DBR Group of Companies today announced the release of HYSYS 2.4.1, which integrates the steady state and dynamic simulation Dynamic Simulation is similar to a physics engine, the technology used in many powerful computer graphics software programs, like 3ds Max, Maya, Lightwave, and many others to simulate physical characteristics. of HYSYS with the superior amines amines (  mēnz´),n.pl organic compounds that contain nitrogen. modeling capabilities of AMSIM 7.0. The combination of HYSYS and AMSIM creates a powerful new tool for optimizing the design of the gas and liquid purification processes required in many industrial applications to remove both poisonous (H2S H2S Hydrogen Sulfide H2S How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (Also abbreviated H2$) H2S Heart to Soul (song) ) and greenhouse (CO2) gases. AMSIM 7.0 seamlessly imbeds within the HYSYS environment and enables engineers to simulate gas and liquid sweetening processes involving single, blended or activated amines, thus increasing productivity and improving process designs. Processing companies are facing critical changes in market demands and competition, and need to extract greater value from their software tools. As the worldwide demand for natural gas increases and environmental restrictions tighten, it is increasingly important for these companies to understand their gas and liquid sweetening processes more comprehensively.

Dr. Dan Zhang, General Manager of DBR Software Inc., commented: "DBR has worked in partnership with Hyprotech since 1987 when AMSIM was first integrated into Hyprotech's HYSIM HYSIM Highway Driving Simulator HYSIM Hydrologic Simulation Model software. Our long-term relationship is further strengthened through this joint venture to develop and market state-of-the-art thermodynamic modules for gas processing, refining, and oil & gas production customers. The combination of Hyprotech's innovative technology and DBR's software and fluid property expertise creates an unparalleled opportunity for the development of advanced thermodynamic applications." Brian Wood, Hyprotech's HYSYS Product Manager, added: "This is another step in our on-going relationship with DBR. As our technologies continue to grow, we will strive to complement each other in future versions of HYSYS. Moving forward, we plan to implement other AMSIM capabilities, such as physical solvent models for DEPG (Dimethyl Ethers of Polyethylene Glycol polyethylene glycol (PEG): see glycol. ) and full BTEX BTEX Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylenes (volatile organic compounds) emission data." AMSIM employs a rigorous state-of-the-art actual tray-by-tray approach for modeling the absorption and reactions of H2S and CO2 in various chemical solvents. In addition, AMSIM 7.0 offers an advanced thermodynamic model, the Li-Mather electrolyte model, which is more reliable overall when compared to empirical models, especially when dealing with blended amines. Nine new components have also been added to AMSIM 7.0, including some BTEX components. DBR's AMSIM has been time-proven for over 14 years and has been validated against real plant data. Both HYSYS and AMSIM are used by major companies in the oil & gas production, gas processing and refining industries for the design of gas and liquid sweetening processes worldwide, including BP Amoco, Bechtel, Chevron, Enron, Exxon and Shell.
