Valmet Training Simulators
Simulations
- Smoother and faster start-up, faster learning curve
- Less and shorter plant shutdowns, detection of errors on process control strategies
- DCS testing, detection of errors on process control strategies before start-up
- Loop tuning before start-up (PID settings)
- Better trained/certified people, getting new employees fast on track
- Increased process understanding, teaching the process responses to actions
- Continuous development of plant operating procedures, increasing safety/reducing shutdowns
