Hyperion Systems Engineering - Hyperion provides Services to enhance OTS at Lyondell Chemicals, France

Lyondell, one of the world's largest independent chemical companies, has an Operator Training Simulator (OTS), which is used to ensure their entire operations team is able to operate the plant effectively. Recent plant modifications have led to a requirement to update the OTS system, by incorporating the changes and additions into the simulators.
Following the implementation of new DCS equipment, Hyperion has provided maintenance and support services to Lyondell including additional training and updates and modifications to the simulation model. These enhancements will ensure that the operators can continue to be trained to operate the plant confidently, safely and to the highest efficiency.

About Operator Training Systems
Operator Training Simulators are detailed, high fidelity, real-time simulation systems that are custom-built to match the dynamic behavior 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.
