buy, sell, trade or refine crude oils not only time-efficient, but also
cost-effective. Crude oil library management: ASSAY2 includes crude oil
library management features that allow you to create, delete or
copy crude oil libraries. Another feature lets you import libraries
from other crude assay evaluation applications from libraries
provided by Honeywell or from properly formatted user
spreadsheets. ASSAY2 also allows you to sort crudes by
categories such as sulfur content, API gravity, geographical
origin or assay data.
Crude oil library data manipulation: ASSAY2 allows you to
quickly and easily manipulate data from crude oil libraries. After
the initial input or import of crude property data, ASSAY2
completes a process that validates the integrity of the data. When
this process is complete, ASSAY2 fills in missing property data
and adds additional property information. You can then review
and approve the data prior to adding it to the library.

integration or using other preferred curve-fitting techniques.
You can then use ASSAY2s drag-and-drop capabilities to modify
the crude properties directly from these graphs. Library data is refreshed using original or updated input data,
rather than from a series of standard library cuts.

Breaking up and blending crude assays: ASSAY2 allows you


to break up crude assays in a manner consistent with your
individually tailored cut schemes so you can evaluate the
qualities and yields of individual cuts. You can then use these
qualities to determine either their singular or comparative values
individually or as blended with other crudes or crude
components. ASSAY2 handles the imperfect fractionation using
Shortcut Distillation.

Reporting: The ASSAY2 Report Factory provides a set of


standard reports for input, developed and processed data, as
well as the ability to generate customized reports in Excel.

Crude assay data entry screen LP input Formats: ASSAY2 provides linear programming (LP)
file input capability for AspenTechs PIMS, Haverlys GRTMPS
and Honeywell GAMMA-based RPMS.
Crude ASSAY management: Using ASSAY2s crude assay
management features, you can add crude assays by input from
the graphical user interface, by spreadsheets or from any ODBC-
compliant database.
