This trainingprogram is created by DESCON specifically for your particular process and equipment in use at your plant.

Plant personnel can be led with audio and animated graphics through a comprehensive training course complete with review questions and a scored final exam with passing certificate. This approach to training staff has proven to be a very cost effective and time efficient way to train and refresh plant personnel.

Training Services Include:

• Interactive CD ROM training
• Web Based training
• Plant-Specific training
• Process-Specific training
• Operator training
• Technical support

Features and benefits:

• CD ROM training runs on any typical PC found in the plant.
• Eliminates travel to 'training seminars".
• Reduces training overhead costs.
• Personnel train at their own pace.
• Personnel can "refresh" their training at any time.
• Interactive: more interesting than book-based training.
• Time Efficient
• Cost Efficient

Controls Simulation

DESCON has the capabilities to design, install and commission control training simulations.

Typically DESCON utilizes the same hardware, HMI software, and process software that the plant personnel currently use. This provides the operator with the following advantages:

• Same HMI interface and operation as the current plant .
• Same process control functions.
• Same "Look and Feel".
• The operator is able to operate any of the control loops without causing any ill effects to the plant operations. Hardware and software is totally isolated from existing equipment which provides the operator with a parallel operation where he may make mistakes and learn by them.
• Utilize "hot spares" as training system hardware.
• Interactive process control simulation utilizing CAPE software or software connections.
• Measurements are simulated using one of three methods:
  • Option 1 - A software tie from controller output to corresponding input with delay and lag. Controllers respond to operator change in output or set point.
  • Option 2 - Process is simulated to show interaction between control loops and measurements.
  • Option 3 - Stand alone parallel control system integrated with HYSYS or ASPEN dynamic process modeling.
