Chemical plant operator training
We believe that solid underpinning knowledge is essential for chemical technicians, operators and engineers - the founding principle behind our JaSim software
Providing good basic training provides a solid platform for future learning We also believe in learning through doing

Research has shown that dynamic simulation is one of the most effective and memorable methods of learning.
Our training software simulates the basic principles of process control and key plant items and progressively builds on this to develop a solid knowledge base.
Today we hope to have a positive impact on chemical plant operator training throughout Europe by launching our brand new JaSim website.

TSC simulators for BP in Azerbaijan
The CTTC, which is sited alongside the Sangachal Oil and Gas Terminal near Baku in Azerbaijan, is equipped with a wide range of TSC simulation models
It contains valuable information on the European Reference Model for Chemical Plant Operators, useful facts, information and links to interesting articles, plus demonstrations of our software.
Briefly, JaSim allows you to:.
* Introduce the concepts of PID and cascade control loops, two and three phase separation, pumps, compressors, refrigeration systems and distillation columns.
* Learn how to tune three term and cascade control loops.
* Practice start up and shut down procedures.
* Understand trends, alarms and ESD systems.
Each JaSim model includes a User Guide, Training Assignments and Trend Charts, all designed to give maximum learning benefit and a holistic approach to understanding process control.
The models are written with engineering accuracy, and may be used in basic vocational courses, right up to university level for chemical engineering degree standards.
Students benefit from memorable learning of dynamic principles using visual and practical techniques together.
Generic control systems and graphics ensure that whatever system you work on, the basic principles you learn are sound for all.
Employers benefit from knowing their employees are thoroughly grounded in process and control concepts, often reducing downtime during start up and shut-down and unusual procedures.
Using simulation improves Health and Safety training, and has no environmental impact compared to practising on real plant.
It is more cost effective.
Training companies benefit from using JaSim; dynamic simulation software that meets the learning criteria for the new European Reference Model for Chemical Plant Operators.
Generic control systems and graphics ensure that whatever DCS system you work on afterwards, the basic underpinning knowledge has been properly taught and assessed.
Run time can be purchased from as little as GBP10 per hour, or the models may be registered for unlimited use either singly, or as classroom sets at a substantial cost discount.
This makes ours one of the most cost effective and productive training simulation packages on the market today. Request a free brochure from TSC Simulation ...
