Slide 8
Are these good questions?
I need to train many young, new operators. What’s the most effective and cost efficient way?
My facility is in a remote location. How can I provide training prior to sending someone to site? How can I improve cooperation between the remote and central control room teams?
How do I train my operators prior to the start-up of the plant on the operation of the control system and the plant?
Is the design of my plant safe, optimal (CAPEX/OPEX) and supports all modes of operation?
My project is tight in time and overrunning the schedule. How can I recover time?
How can I minimize the risk of costly start-up delays?
Slide 9
I need to enhance plant efficiency with fewer people. How?
2 Case studies
Slide 10
SHELL Bonga (Nigeria) Floating Production Storage & Offloading The ‘process’ is a floating platform with storage and offloading facilities; sea trials and proof of controls at sea are very expensive – 200 people at sea to be able test systems Changes to the DCS and safety system were done quickly in the simulator (hours/days instead of weeks) and tested. The need is to improve the quality of the ICSS system to reduce commissioning time and ensure quality of subsequent ICSS updates. On-site safety certification (Lloyds) took 3 months instead of 1 year. The system was delivered successfully with reduced start up time. Start-up recognized as “best in class”.
Saipem FPSO Fast-track Project GIMBOA Business challenge for Saipem High demand for FPSO vessels. Time to deliver critical for winning projects: Schedule of 16-24 months Solution Decoupling the hardware from the application in the DCS (Foxboro I/A) project Use FSIM Plus for configuring and testing the application Results Successful project execution. DCS Project schedule shortened by 3.5 months.
Improved quality of the application through better testing.
Slide 12
Aker Yards LNG Carriers – Control Testing and Training Objective Reduce DCS delivery time and improve DCS test procedures.
Reduce on-board training time for crew
Solution Aker Yards selected Foxboro I/A as the DCS Decided to go for FSIM Plus for improved testing and training
Results/benefits Saved 5-6 man-months for dock trials of the system. Bug-free DCS application delivered to the carrier.
Sea trial campaign for an LNG carrier is 15 days for 150 people on board. Cost per sea trial is €150k per day. Project savings on seal trial: 1 week worth €1mio
Slide 13
Sonatrach LNG Terminal Refrigerator TMC replacement Objective Replace Woodward with Triconex controls in minimum
turnaround time.
Simulation Benefits Improved controller behaviour Completed turnaround in 3 normal working days instead of 8-9 long days . Online sooner for 6 more days of LNG production valued at 100 times the project cost for the simulation Slide 14
OTS Opportunity Success Story • Business Drivers: Safety, Operational Improvement and Retiring Personnel
• Solution: OTS for Hydrocracker/Hydrotreater & Hydrogen Plant, Two Reformers, Delayed Coker and SRU/Amines Unit • Value – Site declared value of $10m - $30m based on one decision support study for the Hydrocracker OTS – OTS provided process and training knowledge prior to Coker startup that minimizes startup risk – Able to recreate abnormal operating issues in OTS and implement improved control strategy on Reformer
Optimal Design of Flare Headers – Benefits of €20 million for Technip
Slide 16
PetroCanada Tail gas compressor Design and control validation Increased recycle Cv from 63 to 101. Added hot gas recycle line avoiding surge Added feed-forward Anti Surge valve pre-arming to prevent surge during suction or discharge blockage. Added decoupling between antisurge and suction pressure controller Added stonewall controller Recommended/Confirmed Valve Sizes, Trim and Actuation Times Slide 17
Operator Training Simulator Success Story Essential component in the safe and successful commissioning of the world’s most complex state of the art upgrading facility Operators training on the simulator one year before Gasifier startup Benefits Summary:
Reduced commissioning time Identification of control issues during design phase Corrective actions taken prior to start up
Accident / Incident free commissioning !
BG Group Gas Platform Operator competency assessment Operator competencies are assessed by a competency assessment manager (CAM) prior to starting work on the off-shore platform. Off-shore training on the platform is costly and bed-room space is limited. Scheduling of the equipment for the training is challenging. Solution: Use a 3D Virtual Environment on-shore. Status: pilot completed and next steps under discussion.

Cape Lambert, Australia Port Expansion Project • SKM/Rio Tinto using Wonderware for HMI on top of Schneider PLC/SCADA Controls • Introduced SimSci-Esscor into the account • Solution – use dynamic models of Cape Lambert iron ore handling to allow engineers to validate Schneider control logic before deployment to site • Order size so far in excess of $1 million
Cape Lambert, Australia Port Expansion Project • SKM/Rio Tinto using Wonderware for HMI on “fantastic achievement” top of Schneider PLC/SCADA Controls • Introduced SimSci-Esscor into the account • Solution – use dynamic models of Cape “brilliant outcome” Lambert iron ore handling to allow engineers to validate Schneider control logic before deployment to site • Order size so far in excess of $1 million
Agrium JV Vault Potash OTS Project Project VAnscoy ULTimate Expansion (VAULT) - potash mine expansion including an additional new processing train Process Agrium Vanscoy process model includes: • Raw ore handling • Flotation • Compaction • Crushing/Desliming
Purpose
The simulator will be a tool for initial training and retraining of operators in:
● Plant systems, their function and interaction with other systems ● Development of operating experience, confidence and accuracy in normal and abnormal plant operations ● Tool to aid in developing and conducting engineering and control system analysis Slide 22
Teck Zinc Roaster Operator Training Simulator Acid Plant process flow includes: • Zinc Roaster (Fluidized bed roaster)
• Draft from the roaster all the way to the stack •“…starting Calcine ballthe millplant up on the simulator was real … the
simulator behaved just like the real plant … I actually • Waste heat boiler, Gas cooling, Mercury removal, Acid plant started to sweat like I do with the real plant … my body thought it was the real thing … It was great to be able to Acid Plant OTS completed and in operation since Jan ‘13: push the plant, I mean, Simulator as I have always wanted and was doplant withongoing the real plant …” Second OTS project for afraid a new to acid More OTS projects in the pipeline.
Slide 23
Codelco Sulphuric Acid Plant for Solvent Extraction in Copper Production Process Acid Plant process flow includes:
• SO2 Tank Reactors • Gas Conditioning System • Cooling Tower System Purpose • PLCs and old DCS are being migrated to Foxboro I/A DCS – model will be used for controls checkout and pre-tuning of controls • Model will be used for operator training when complete Estimated savings of 4 days of commissioning time worth $1.8 million for a $500k investment
Slide 24
Case studies - Summary Reducing DCS project execution schedule. Flawless and faster plant start-ups. CAPEX reduction by $$$ millions by design studies.
Preventing costly start-up delays caused by design or control faults saving $$$ millions. Reducing $$$ millions of training costs for off-shore/remote plants. … these projects simply pay for themselves – easily!
… and there are even more benefits (increased safety…)
