Web-based Operator Training System
Producing plants must be safe and reliable. Plant Safety is strongly dependent on how well people responsible for running the facility (control room operators, CRO) are aware of its operation.

Process simulation is a technology used in many areas and project phases. Its usage ranges from the design stage of a plant (initial concept and front end engineering) to assistance in daily plant operations, including planning, optimisation and monitoring.
The definition of a Control System in Chemical and Petrochemical Plants requires specific know-how with the target of optimizing and improving existing systems and designing new ones. When designing a system, it is necessary to follow some basic steps such as modelling the system, analysing such model, designing the system/controller and finally
The oil and gas industry has witnessed seismic downward shifts in barrel prices and uplifts in market competitiveness.
Miquel Angel Alós, explains how dynamic simulation can help maximise plant performance and deliver cost savings on new plant projects.
Miquel Angel Alós, PhD, Inprocess, explains how operations teams in the oil and gas industry can use dynamic simulation to avoid disruptions and minimise the impact of unnecessary costs on real plant operations.
Safety and productivity in processing plants highly depend on the accurate performance of the control and safety systems, normally centralized in control rooms, through the distributed control systems and safety instrumented systems (DCS, SIS). In order to ensure the plant production, it is key to have staff perfectly trained in the operation of such automated systems.

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.
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
