Technology-enabled learning solutions provider Edutech Middle East, has launched a comprehensive pilot plant training system for process operator training, the company has announced.
‘On-spot,’ the company’s new brand of solutions for process operator training, was launched during ‘Getenergy 2008,’ a networking event, exhibition and interactive forum for education and training in the global oil and gas industry.
The solution has been designed to train process operators to apply troubleshooting and optimisation principles, which have a direct impact on achieving increased capacity, higher yield, improved energy index and improved uptime.
It is also expected to reduce learning time by an average of 40% and increase comprehension by 40 to 70% compared to traditional training methods.
“There is a growing demand for pilot plants to ensure that students or operators can learn the correct principles and practices of process control and instrumentation, in an environment that emulates a full-scale industrial plant,” said ASF Karim, CEO, Edutech.
Complementing the first-of-its-kind ‘On-spot’ solution is another product from Edutech - ‘PlantMentor’, an online training, simulation and certification suite, which provides a highly interactive, web-based operations training.
Developed in partnership with RWD Technologies, ‘PlantMentor’ serves as the first step in operator training by introducing the learner to various processes involved in a plant through a suite of well-designed online courses.
The performance-based training solution also integrates simulator exercises and simulation learning environment with unique and highly effective analysis strategies to enhance operators’ skills, and incorporates formal testing to support a certification program.
Edutech’s participation at the event, at the Business Design Centre in London, UK, is in line with its goals to address the growing demand for pilot plants that feature hands-on learning among the oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and research industries from across the globe. |
