This is a set of Chemical Engineering References I have gotten in my career. This goes from shops, forums, websites and even social media groups. This is a PERSONAL list that I use by myself and recommend to my students as well, please share if you also think it is valuable! AIChe The AIChE (American […]
One of the best ways to increase your chances of getting hired is by setting apart from your competition. Recruiters always ask “What’s the difference between Candidate A and Candidate B” This is true specially when these are recent graduates, there is almost nothing more to compare but the grades, extracurricular activities AND SKILLS! It is very
Here, I will share the Apps that have helped me improve my productivity level. I recommend you to try at least 2-3 apps before trying them all together! Productivity Apps These are very common / basic apps, you might have them as well. If you do, please let me know if I missed any other
This has NOTHING to do with Chemical Engineering whatsoever, BUT: I really like to share useful ideas when I find them. It is almost my “duty” to share them with you. Pretty similar to the “get lectured – then lecture others” They are to a certain extent Mentors to me, not only in the personal
In previous e-mails, I talked about myself mostly on the “professional” way… I showed you about my previous jobs as an engineer and as an online tutor… Now, the most obvious question is: How did I achieved this? I really think that education is the answer. Every single choice I made in life pushed me
Let’s get PERSONAL After all, who am I? I don’t want to get that philosophical but have you ever wonder about the people you see on YouTube? Who are they, what do they do for a living? Where do they work, and so on? Well, lets get personal… I’m going to tell you a little bit
I just wanted to show you the playlist & videos which get the MOST TRAFFIC to my YouTube Channel Videos My First Class Ever –> Theory and Basic Concepts in Mass Balance // Mass Balance Class 01 (open) Salary of a Chemical Engineer (open) Introduction to Reactors in the Chemical Industry // Reactor Engineer Class1 (open) Parallel

One of the things I remember when I was in college was: “WHY are there no Chemical Engineering Channels?” I hated it… Specially because there were some channels related to Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, lots of robotics, lots of Chemistry… but NO Chemical Engineering… It is now 2019 and stil we have so little content on Chemical Engineering, it’s

It is no secret that I am not a great fan of HYSYS… Unfortunately, most of my students use this tool! Check out this poll which was live in the Aspen Plus & HYSYS Support Forum (Unofficial) Don’t get me wrong, I like it, and I know its super powerful, but I actually prefer Aspen Plus must
Getting Access to a valid Aspen Plus & HYSYS license is not easy! It is actually very expensive so the most common ways to get access are the following: At Work By far the easiest way is to verify if you have access at work. If you are simulating processes, it is most likely that
This is a blog post based on my PERSONAL OPINION. It shows why I prefer Aspen Plus software over other software such as UniSim, Pro-II and even HYSYS. All the “Extras” & Plugins Aspen Plus has plenty of plug-ins, user models and extra software which can be attached to the simulation. Its community online I
We all been there… You are frustrated because something went wrong in your simulation or you can’t find something regarding the software. Something is missing or some input is extra, anyway it won’t work! How do you get HELP!? In this post I’m going to cover the places in which I get information from. AspenTech
We have been exploring several types of Process Simulators such as Aspen Plus, HYSYS and UniSim as well as free alternatives such as DWSIM and Coco Simulator. Now its time to check out PRO/II of Schneider Electric / AVEVA. A little bit of Context Schneider Electric was one of the pioneers to create and launch
What is PRO/II from Schneider Electric / AVEVA ? Read More »
So… I guess you are entirely new to Process Simulation? Or maybe only a newbie willing to increase its knowledge of Process Simulation? GREAT, you are in the perfect place. I prepared this little guide for all those students, engineers, instructors which are lost and don’t know where to start regarding Process Simulation. Most of
In order to understand UniSim, you gotta understand Honeywell Process. About Honeywell Process Honeywell Process is the branch of Honeywell which deals with Process Engineering & Industry. It has several types of products for several types of industries, but for now, lets stick to Chemical Processes & UniSim. It can be said that UniSim is
One of the ways I recommend learning Process Simulation, specifically Aspen Plus & HYSYS is by reading books. They might be E-Books or Physical Books, whatever you choose, they will help you through this hard stage of life 🙂 I have read several of them and here are my notes. I also added some books that
Picture this: You have already attended several “BASIC” or “INTRODUCTORY” courses and now want to improve your simulation skills further. You keep getting the same material online, in workshops and other “basic” courses and now wonder: What should be the next course I take? Actually, there is no “correct” course for you, you could take

As we all know, Aspen Tech Software Licenses are EXPENSIVE as hell. Why? Well, they are THE leading software in the Chemical & Petrochemical Industries. It is also the main software you will be using during college/university. The most obvious question which I get from my students is if there is any FREE way to
If you are new to simulation or probably don’t know that much about it, then you might be wondering “why is it so important”? Well, that’s what we are going to cover here! Please note that simulation is nothing new! it has been here since the existence of computers but of course they have been
