PLC Simulator
Oil & gas automation training

Practise the trip before the trip matters

A hands-on controls lab for compressor packages and process utilities. Learners program permissive startup, unload/recycle operation, speed proof, discharge isolation, fire-and-gas demand, high-pressure ESD and blowdown against pressure and rotor dynamics.

Live training model

Gas Compressor ESD & Blowdown

01

Unloaded compressor startup with recycle-to-discharge transition

02

Continuous rotor-speed and discharge-pressure simulation

03

Latched ESD from fire-and-gas, safety, lubrication or high-high pressure

04

Isolation and blowdown behavior graded under real upset sequences

What technicians actually practise

Control problems with process consequences

Every flagship combines PLC logic, dynamic machine state, failure conditions and deterministic grading. Learners must make the process safe—not just energise a coil.

Compressor package control

Open suction and recycle, start unloaded, prove rotor speed and place the machine on line without bypassing process permissives.

ESD and blowdown

A fire-and-gas or high-pressure demand latches shutdown, isolates running paths and opens emergency depressurisation.

Burner management foundations

The boiler startup lab covers purge proof, pilot and ignition timing, flame confirmation, main fuel admission and flame-loss trip.

Pipeline and process patterns

Flushing valves, chemical dosing, analog pressure scaling, level alarms and pump alternation build the reusable controls behind pipeline auxiliaries.

Training outcomes

Evidence beyond course completion

Assignments can grade normal operation, unsafe demands, boundary conditions and recovery behavior against the same machine model.

  • Sequence an unloaded compressor start from live feedback
  • Recognise and respond to high discharge pressure before reset
  • Demonstrate isolation and blowdown after an ESD demand
  • Apply first-out, burner and pipeline-control patterns in graded labs

Scope, stated plainly

This is controls training software, not a safety-certified SIS, compressor performance tool or digital twin of a production facility. It cannot establish SIL, validate cause-and-effect, replace API/IEC engineering, or control field equipment.
