High-fidelity Oil and Gas Simulators from SimSci-Esscor combine rigorous first-principle models with perfect replicas of actual control systems. Our plant simulators enable you to safely and thoroughly train operators off-line by dynamically reproducing plant processes and controls.
Traditional Operator Training Simulators have been used for control familiarization and operator preparation. However, SimSci-Esscor's Plant Simulators offer the power and flexibility to do far more, adding significant value throughout your plant's lifecycle and maximizing the return on your plant simulators investment.
- Test New Controls - By simulating the operation of a new or retrofitted plant prior to first-time start-up, you gain the opportunity to test complex system logic and improve controls before going on-line. A simulator can reveal errors in burner management logic that could lead to inadvertent trips, or trip failures that lead to costly equipment damage or personal injury.
- Ensure Smooth Start-Ups - Plant Simulator software allows operators to become familiar with process operation while they increase their familiarity with the controls and graphical screens. Continued training ensures increasingly smooth start-ups in the future. Customers who perform control check-outs with OTS frequently report first-time start-ups that are nearly flawless.
- Reduce Incidents and Downtime - Training personnel in a non-destructive environment enables you to validate emergency controls before actual use. Testing modifications to compressor controls can avoid costly damage from surges. You can also purposely trigger malfunctions (such as a trip) to test operator reactions and improve response times.
- Maximize Performance - Our simulators are based on rigorous first-principle models and actual controls, allowing you to troubleshoot actual process and control problems. Our plant simulator unlocks the fundamental understanding required to modify, test, and improve processes and maximize plant performance.

DYNSIM - This state-of-the-art dynamic process simulation system includes a process equipment library complete with columns, vessels, reactors, compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, and valves. Models are built using an intuitive graphic interface that enables you to keep the simulator current with your plant configuration. DYNSIM uses SimSci-Esscor thermodynamics - the most widely accepted in the industry.
FSIM Plus - This virtual stimulation of Foxboro I/A Series Controls eliminates controller hardware while leaving the Foxboro software intact. The simulated controls and graphics in FSIM Plus are identical to those used in the plant with the addition of invaluable training enhancements such as Save, Rewind, Restore, and Freeze. FSIM Plus enables you to correct and validate new controls on the simulator and transfer them back to the plant DCS. Controls maintenance has never been easier.
TRISIM Plus - Virtual stimulation for Triconex Tricon and Trident controllers.
DCS and PLC Solutions - In addition to FSIM Plus, SimSci-Esscor has solutions for all other major DCS and PLC systems.
