Operator Training Simulator

A well trained and skilled operator is one of the key elements in increasing the plant’s safety and productivity. Training is the key element in any skill-based job. Educational research concludes that people learn better by experience than through reading or lectures. It is impossible to replace real experience with simulated training, but simulators can in a cost-effective way, increase operators’ skills in running facilities efficiently. PetroPlat provides Operator Training Simulators to bridge this gap.

Operator Training Simulators (OTS) are advanced computer-based training tools that help control-room operators learn the skills they need to run a plant safely, effectively, and profitably. PetroPlat’s fully deployed operator training system:

• Offers plant operators an improved understanding of the unit operations and handling.
• Familiarizes the operators with the process design and the control systems while emphasizing the interactions between the two.
• Demonstrates the use and explains the advantages of advanced process control.
• Control and verify the operators’ actions.
• Practice without the presence of an instructor.
