PROJECT EXAMPLES
Refinery OperationS
Wood delivered a process OTS for this refinery. The OTS is used to familiarise the operators with various upset scenarios, ensuring they can safely bring the plant back to normal operations and minimise downtime when they meet these scenarios in the real plant.
The OTS is integrated with a VR-simulator of the plant, allowing the control room operators and field operators to carry out operations simultaneously, just as they would in the real plant.
Recycling Plant Operations
Wood delivered a process OTS for this plant that incinerates rubbish in large ovens, using the heat generated to produce steam for turbines and thus generating electricity for thousands of households. The OTS is used to familiarise the operators with the various operations associated with the plant.
Crude Distillation Unit
Wood delivered a hi-fidelity process OTS for the crude distillation unit (CDU) for this plant. The CDU processes both light and heavy crude oil to produce products like LPG, light naphtha, heavy naphtha, kerosene, cracked gas oil, light vacuum gas oil, heavy vacuum gas oil, and vacuum residue. The OTS is used to familiarise the operators with the various operations associated with the plant.
OFFSHORE OIL & GAS OPERATIONS
Wood delivered an Engineering Simulator (ES) and an OTS for this offshore oil production and gathering asset. A single-well ES model was initially developed and used to perform a process feasibility assessment. A full-field ES model was then developed and used for performing further design studies. The OTS was then deployed for operator training on the operating procedures for the subsea and topsides process systems and evaluate emergency response.
MINING OPERATIONS
Wood delivered an OTS for a mining operations. The mine, which produces molybdenum that’s used to harden steel. The OTS is used to familiarise the operators with the various operations associated with the mining facility.
FOOD & BEVERAGE OPERATIONS
A VP Linked-based OTS is used at this food & beverage operations. The plant involves the product fermentation, processing and bottling operations. The OTS is used for operator training with the various phases of operations.
