I'm trying to model a central processing facility for an unconventional heavy oil asset on HYSYS.

We have not received any assay data to input into HYSYS to create pseoudocomponents or to blend them into some sort of representative compound. 

Are there any suggestions of what I can use without this information (like API, BP, etc), to represent the bitumen stream on HYSYS?

In addition, the process uses steam made from water with a TDS content. We know the concentration, but not the makeup of TDS in the water, any suggestions/knowhow for that?

Thank you

Saludos.

Para petroleos pesados y extrapesados no se recomienda usar hysys, aunque pueden hacerse algunas corridas usando ecuaciones como: PR, BK-10, GS, determinar si los resultados son buenos lamentablemente se deben comparar estos con datos en campo para corroborar si en verdad nuestra simulación se ajusta a la realidad, puedo decir que de muchas simulaciones realizadas por mi persona para crudos pesados y extrapesados con hysys solo un 25 % de estas se han ajustado a la realidad.

 

Por otra parte, para simular crudos pesados y extrapesados te recomiendo usar ASPEN PLUS o Pro/II, donde el primero arroja mejores resultados, en vista a que podemos configurar nuestras ecuaciones a nuestra conveniencia y experiencia lo que nos da la ventaja respecto a los otros simuladores que te menciono.
