Some of our most consistently popular posts here at Emerson Process Experts center on anti-surge control for centrifugal compressors. I had the opportunity to catch up with Emerson's Ashish Patki when he was in town last month. Ashish shared a story where a national...
Automation technologies can help in making plants more efficient, but only if the operations and maintenance personnel understand how to make effective use of these technologies. For control systems, Operator Training simulators (OTS) are one way to develop knowledge...
The week of Emerson Exchange was a blur. I'm thankful to have had Emerson folks taking great notes at many of the workshops. David Walker, a manager in the Systems and Solutions Middle East organization, shared his notes on a presentation on virtualization with the...
In choosing a dynamic simulator for operator training systems, how does the user determine the level of simulation accuracy needed? While this may seem like a simple question, the answer can be complicated. When deciding upon the accuracy requirements of a dynamic...
Update and bump: Here's the link to the recorded version of today's deminar (download 419Mb): Viewing this content requires Silverlight. You can download Silverlight from https://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight3. This Thursday marks the next edition of...
This white paper discusses the importance of control system integrity in the design and implementation of operator training systems. One of the most important, yet overlooked, decisions in the development of an operator training system is the design of the off-line...
How does the user define the level of simulation fidelity required to train operators or test control strategies? When I describe to potential customers the use of the Virtual Plant / Control System using Mimic Simulation Software and the business benefits they may...
If you're involved with simulation in your plant, you may be familiar with Mynah's Martin Berutti and his blog. In one of his posts, he shares his thoughts on the business benefits, requirements, and steps for building a Virtual DeltaV system with a virtual plant and...
In the December 2009 issue of David Strohbar of Beville Engineering and Danyele Harris-Thompson of Klein Associates, outline steps for preparing plant operators in their article, Build Operator Training Expertise Faster. Their article is based upon published findings...
The purpose of this technical note is to demonstrate how to use a model developed in MathWorks MATLAB with Mimic Simulation Software using the Mimic External Modeling Interface (MEMI). Using the MATLAB Compiler, it is possible to create a shared library from MATLAB...
The refining industry has traditionally recognized the benefit of training simulators more than almost any other process industry. The industry as a whole has little tolerance for unscheduled downtime. Operator mistakes can be costly or even deadly. Most refineries...
The Life Sciences industry is quick to recognize and use key technologies that can reduce new plant capital project schedules or reduce variation and risk in the operation of the process. The industry has recognized the business benefits of simulation systems for...
