Industrial simulator systems

Choose the equipment or process you want to practise

The library is organised around the actual simulator systems available: process units, compressors, pumps, and thermal & utility systems.

Refinery process units

Process Units

CDU, VDU, hydrocracker, hydrogen production and methanol process training.

5 simulators
Industrial compressor and rotating equipment

Compressors

Recycle-gas and hydrogen booster compressor startup, control and trip response.

2 simulators
Industrial multistage centrifugal pump

Pumps

Multistage centrifugal and VGO charge-pump operation, protection and seals.

2 simulators
Industrial fired heater and utility system

Thermal & Utility Systems

Heat-exchanger performance and Burner Management System training.

2 simulators
Simulator library

Launch DCS training simulators

Select a simulator, open the scenario and practice startup, shutdown, alarm response, control-loop behavior and upset recovery.

Training purpose

Why operators need a safe DCS practice environment

A simulator creates a controlled space where operators can repeat critical actions, understand cause-and-effect and build confidence before touching live equipment.

01

No plant risk

Practice abnormal conditions and alarms without production impact.

02

Faster learning

See DCS behavior, trends, faceplates and interlocks in action.

03

Standard response

Align operator decisions with procedure, communication and handover discipline.

Learning content

From navigation to upset recovery

DCS screen navigation and faceplate operation
PV / SP / OP reading, trends and loop behavior
Start-up, shutdown and handover discipline
Alarm acknowledgement and troubleshooting logic
Process control and optimization
Upset handling, stabilization and recovery actions
The focus is not only “button pressing”; it is operational judgment — what to check, when to act and how to keep the process stable.
Training workflow

A simple journey from first click to confident response

Choose a simulator, follow visible procedure guidance, practise the response and finish with a useful learning record.

Experience design

High-fidelity, safe and industry relevant

The design follows the dark-navy, electric-blue control-room direction from the presentation.

▣

High fidelity

Realistic graphics, values, trends and plant behavior.

⌁

Industry relevant

Process logic and equipment based on practical operating scenarios.

✓

Safe environment

Fail, repeat and improve without consequence to a live plant.

↗

Skill building

Build confidence, communication and response time.

▤

Certificate ready

Completion evidence can support competency records.

Training manuals

Simulator procedures and training guidance

Keep the learning path focused: simulator operating guidance, startup/shutdown instructions, exercise notes and training manuals only.

Published manuals appear below. Administrators can add, replace or edit simulator manuals from the Administrator page.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the DCS training free?

Yes. The learning concept is designed for free access and self-paced practice.

Do I need to install software?

No installation is required for browser-based simulator sessions. Launch the HTML simulator in a modern browser.

Are the simulators a replacement for site procedures?

No. They are educational representations. Always use your organisation's approved operating procedures and training standards for real plant operation.

What skills can I practise?

DCS navigation, PV/SP/OP interpretation, loop response, startup, shutdown, alarm handling, troubleshooting and upset recovery.

Can I use training manuals with each simulator?

Yes. This website now keeps a dedicated training-manual area so each simulator can be paired with its own procedure and learning guide.

Can the library be expanded?

Yes. Additional simulator HTML files and manuals can be linked into the library while keeping the same focused training interface.
