Hyperion Systems Engineering - Hyperion to Provide Support and Maintenance Services to GS-Caltex in Korea

GS-Caltex, one of the leading refineries in Asia, has three OTS systems, which are used to ensure their entire operations team is able to operate the plant effectively. Recent plant changes have led to a requirement to update these OTS systems, by incorporating the changes and additions into the simulators. This will ensure that operators can continue to be trained to operate the plant confidently, safely, and to the highest efficiency.
GS-Caltex has a goal to be "The Leader in Providing Energy Service" and consider OTS to be one of the key technologies to help them achieve this. Mr Jae-Cheol Ahn, Team Manager of GS-Caltex Corporation said, “Having the simulator maintained by highly skilled resources familiar with our OTS technology, is critical to the success of our program to continually improve operations performance using the investment we have made in OTS.”
Hyperion will be working with Hayoung Company Ltd of Korea, who provide GS-Caltex with a variety of maintenance services. Mr Young Woon Choi, President of Hayoung Co. Ltd. says, “We chose Hyperion as our partner because they are the only company with the depth of skill and experience in OTS that GS-Caltex need, and have a worldwide capability to provide this resource.”
Dr. Symeon Kassianides, CEO of Hyperion, said “The unique skills of Hyperion engineers, together with their familiarity with the GS-Caltex OTS technology and specific applications, is a valuable service which we are pleased to offer. We are very pleased to be working with GS-Caltex again to ensure their investment in OTS is protected.”

About Operator Training Simulators

Operator Training Simulators are detailed, high fidelity, real-time simulation systems that are custom-built to match the dynamic behaviour of single or multiple plant units and their associated control systems. An Operator Training System may be used throughout the plant lifecycle to train operating crews, resulting in fewer operating errors and quicker and safer startups and shutdowns, improve plant reliability due to improved response to abnormal situations, optimize throughput and product quality, and provide the basis for evaluation of control strategies.
