Abstract/Summary
An Operator Training System (OTS) was developed for existing ammonia and urea plants to enhance operator skills and improve safety, availability, and performance. Learn how the implemented OTS effectively replicates plant dynamics, improving operational proficiency, safety awareness, and process understanding, and serves as a valuable tool for engineering and control strategy analysis.
