An Operator Training System (OTS) is one of the best methods to train staff in operations before a producing plant starts up. Carrying out this training before plant commissioning ensures a fast learning curve of the new process and control and instrumentation systems.
The intention of Inproces’s client was to integrate an in-house developed routine to specifically address non-linearity issues around quality control for binary columns with MVPC technology.
A mixture coming out from a biotechnology reactor needed separation and purification in order to reach purities above 99% for some of the alcohols that were in the fermentation broth. Inprocess was requested to prepare the process simulations that would support the conceptual design study in order to select the most promising separation and purification sequence of unit operations
An Operator Training System, directly connected with Siemens DCS, UniSim Design Dynamic Simulation; and the Inprocess Instructor Station, was developed and implemented in a new Ammonia plant (and its associated Hydrogen plant)
Many nitric acid plants had been designed and erected by the Client based on its own technology. In order to complement the Client’s technological offer to its own clients, it was necessary to develop a dynamic model of the plant that would be used by the Client to show the plant operability to current customers as well as showing the plant and technology capabilities to future, potential customers.
Dynamic simulation of processes using rigorous models offers a wide range of applications for process engineering, process control, instrumentation, operation, training, and health, safety and environmental projects
A training tool for the operators of a chemical plant in Sweden was developed. An interesting technical challenge was solved by integrating the rigorous dynamic model in Aspen HYSYS with an emulation software of the Experion PKS from Proconex and an instructor station from Inprocess.
