Trainer module: Safe and efficient pipeline operator performance

Simulator for pipeline operators

Trainer provides a realistic training solution that helps you train and maintain your staff to appropriate levels and demonstrates competence in line with HSE and legislative requirements. Trainer software is based on the transient simulation model in Synergi Pipeline Simulator that can be interfaced to a copy of existing SCADA screens, or use control room style graphics from the additional Operational Interface module.

Operator Qualification Manager (OQM), a browser-based application, provides a common interface to configure and schedule sessions, evaluate session outcomes, and produce reports.

What you get with the Trainer software module

• Operator Qualification Manager tool with full auditing capability
• Multi-session, multi-user, concurrent training system
• Multiple scenarios
• Interactive training
• Safer, more efficient and productive operations
• Less training time, lower costs

Key benefits of Trainer software module

• Helps you comply with the PHMSA pipeline safety regulations under 49 CFR Part 192 or Part 195 which requires operators must have and follow a written OQ program.
• Ensures that your pipeline controllers are fully trained to recognize and respond effectively to emergency situations
• Provides a safe environment to expose controllers to abnormal operating conditions
• Analogous to flight simulator used to train airline pilots with realistic look and feel
• Compliance with HSE and legislative requirements
• Can be coupled with Operational Interface for:
  - Full replication of SCADA GUI for realistic ‘flight simulator’ style training
  - Viewport style trend, distance and batch plots
  - Visualisation of operating points of pumps and compressors in real-time plots
