Web-based Training for Polymer Plant Operators using Process Simulation

This paper describes a framework offering educational services for chemical plant operators using a process model simulated in real time over the Internet. An application service provider (ASP) approach avoids the barrier of capital investment of a site-based installation. Simulation-based education can be made available for virtually anyone at any time and anywhere through the use of thin clients. At the same time, the maintainability of the server software and model is greatly increased through the centralization of the simulation server. The utility described uses a rigorous dynamic process model for simulation but requires only a computer with a web browser and an Internet connection to establish real-time data communication with the simulation server.
