eESAF ASPEN Plus Simulation
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
The goal is to create a full-scope ASPEN Plus model of an Electro-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF) plant, focused on accurate material and energy balances and clearly defined process flows.
Chapter 4 (methodology and process definition) is already fully completed. The new work must strictly follow the structure, methodology, guidelines, and deadlines provided in the attached document . This is mandatory.
The model must cover the full process chain, including CO₂ conditioning, hydrogen production via electrolysis (SOEC, PEM, AEL), syngas generation, Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, upgrading, and thermal integration, using realistic operating conditions.
In addition, the economic evaluation must be carried out using Aspen Process Economic Analyzer (APEA), integrated with the Aspen Plus model. The objective is to estimate CAPEX, OPEX, and key cost indicators (€/kg H₂, €/MWh H₂, €/t eSAF) in line with the thesis methodology.
I expect a robust and clean simulation where:
All streams, units, and blocks are clearly defined
The model runs without manual intervention
Recycle and convergence logic are properly implemented
Naming conventions and structure are clear for future analysis
Deliverables
• ASPEN Plus (*.bkp) file with full flowsheet
• Aspen Process Economic Analyzer (APEA) file / cost report
• Process Flow Diagram (PDF, print quality)
• Stream and utility tables (Excel or CSV)
• Short methodology memo (2–3 pages)
All work must be aligned with the thesis objective: a technical-energy-economic comparison of electrolysis technologies within a PtL process for eSAF production, not just a simulation exercise.
When submitting your proposal, highlight your experience in:
ASPEN Plus and APEA
Hydrogen / electrolysis systems
Power-to-Liquid or fuel synthesis processes
