A major energy company has awarded Billington Process Technology (BPT) a lifecycle simulator of a large pipeline and processing facility in Europe. The simulator will be used for high-fidelity control system validation and operator training, as well as used in plant debottlenecking and optimization studies.
“In addition to training of control room and field operators in handling normal and abnormal situations, the advanced simulator will be used for improving and validating the integrated control and safety system (ICSS) before commission and startup of the facility”, informs BPT’s Knut Erik Spilling. “We are delighted by the trust in BPT’s capability and reliability in timely deliveries of high-fidelity simulators that provides undisputed value to the operator.”
The lifecycle simulator will be configured by an experienced team of BPT specialists. The main components are simulator versions of the process control and safety system connected to a tailored instructor and field operator station. The training simulator environment will be powered by an industry-standard first principal plant-specific dynamic process simulator model with full thermodynamic capacities.
