Process Engineering & OTS

Optimize processes with Virtuoso’s engineering expertise and OTS, enhancing operator training for safe, efficient operations

An Operator Training Simulator (OTS) in process plants is a computer-based system designed to train operators in managing various scenarios and operations within a plant environment. By replicating the behavior of actual plant processes, it enables operators to practice procedures, respond to emergencies, and become familiar with control systems in a safe and risk-free setting. The key uses of training simulators include promoting the efficient operation of process plants by offering realistic training experiences, enhancing operator skills, preventing plant tripping incidents, and ensuring overall plant safety.

Features

Scenario Training

OTS provides scenarios simulating normal and abnormal operations like equipment failures and emergencies, allowing operators to practice responses safely.

Performance Evaluation

OTS can assess operator’s performance during training sessions, providing feedback on their decision-making skills, response times, and adherence to operating procedures.

Control System Simulation

It features a replica of the plant’s control system, letting operators monitor variables, adjust setpoints, and perform real-time control actions as in the actual plant.

Plant Operation Training

OTS offers training scenarios for normal and abnormal operations, including cold start-up, hot start-up, and emergency handling through simulated plant operations.
