Ensuring a successful FPSO start-up by phased lifecycle approach of process Digital Twins 

Confirming FPSO process design/sizing, Control Narrative and ESD design is adequate and safe for all loads, transients and trips. Providing early Operator Training and refining your Operating Procedures before the ICSS is implemented. Detecting Bad Actors and process anomalies with online process Digital Twins.

Sustaining Operational Excellence

For more than a decade, refinery panel operators at Preemraff have been coached on safety and operation excellence by hands-on training with an operator training simulator (OTS). The fluidised catalytic cracker (FCC) at the Lysekil Refinery was the first refinery unit for which an OTS was built.

Maximizing Return on Operator Training Investment: Virtualization and Web-Based Technologies 

Inprocess oral contribution to the ESTEC: Energy Simulation Technology Exhibition and Conference hold in Barcelona, from May 30th to 31st, 2018.

10 Best Practices to Request and Exploit Lifecycle OTS

Operator Training Simulators (OTS) have become an integral element of the Operator Competency Development Programs of the process industry. The dynamic simulation technology has evolved from the early days, incorporating new training functionalities and communication capabilities.

FPSO lifecycle modelling adds benefits to development offshore West Africa

In a recent FPSO development project offshore West Africa, a lifecycle modeling approach project, ending in a direct-connect Operator Training System with Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, was used for process design and control narrative validation, procedure verification, ICSS check-out, control room operator training and support for FPSO start-up operations.
