Las refinerías de petróleo se encuentran entre las plantas de proceso más complejas. Además de los procesos de separación, gestionan unidades de conversión (reactores químicos) donde tienen lugar numerosas transformaciones relevantes para convertir el petróleo crudo en productos de valor añadido.
Oil refineries are among the most complex processing plants. Other than separation processes, they manage conversion units (chemical reactors) where many relevant transformations take place to convert crude oil into valuable products. Succeeding in operating them in a safe and profitable way is very dependent on a properly skilled worforce.
Inprocess oral contribution to the SLB Users Group Meeting showing an example of an OTS application where the holistic dynamic model contained the subsea lines modeled with OLGA and the processing facilities with HYSYS.
In this session, we have explored how traditional Operator Training Simulators (OTS) can be complemented with Virtual Reality (VR) environments in order to accelerate learning, eliminate risk, and provide a fully realistic and simultaneous learning experience for both control room and field operators.
The Inprocess Immersive Training Simulator (ITS) utilizes Virtual Reality (VR) to enhance operator training in the hydrocarbon and chemical industries, integrating with Operator Training Simulators (OTS) to provide a realistic, immersive learning experience.
The Multi-Purpose Dynamic Simulator (MPDS) introduces an innovative approach that extends the application of dynamic process modelling across the design, commissioning, and operational phases, maximizing its value throughout the plant lifecycle.
This white paper from Inprocess introduces the Multi-Purpose Dynamic Simulator (MPDS) approach—demonstrating how a single dynamic simulation model can be reused throughout the entire lifecycle of a process facility. From early engineering and virtual commissioning to operator training and real-time operational support, MPDS helps reduce project risks, improve safety, and maximize the return on simulation investment.
FPSO constructors and operators are increasingly adopting digitalization to support data-driven decision-making, while also focusing on sustainability through energy consumption management and GHG emissions reduction.
This webinar showcases how Ascensus Specialties has achieved significant benefits by implementing an Operator Training Simulator (OTS) for their hydrogen production plant.
In the context of FPSO, where the extraction, processing, and storage of hydrocarbons occur offshore and often in harsh environments, the benefits of virtual commissioning are particularly relevant.
