Simulation Models

For decades, technical training in the process industries depended upon two basic elements - chalk and talk. Classroom-based instruction has, to be fair, certain advantages. It is undeniably inexpensive and easy to prepare and deliver, and with a really good trainer, it can certainly be effective. But it does also have well-documented shortcomings.

Far from being interactive, it is an essentially passive delivery method, which struggles to smooth out the widely differing individual qualities of comprehension and retention on the part of the trainees.

This is where the use of dynamic simulation exercises are all important whereby delegates are able to experience and solve real life problems for themselves.

An abnormal compressor shutdown, clearance pocket volumes, anti-surge recycle valves are some of the topics explored using these hands-on, real time methods.
