* Management of the subcontractor who will perform the civil works for the Reverse Osmosis OTS room of SWCC’s Training Center.
 
Mr. Fahad Al-Minqash, Training Administration Manager of SWCC Training Center stated, “The Reverse Osmosis OTS for our training center is an important project for us. We have many scheduled training courses on RO and we wish to enrich our theoretical training with a simulator for the process, allowing for hands-on training using the simulator. By selecting an experienced company like Hyperion, we trust that we will have a successful project delivery, in line with our expectations and requirements.”

Mr. Dean R. Jones, Executive Vice President of Hyperion Simulation stated, “We are really pleased by the fact that SWCC has selected Hyperion Simulation for the provision of the RO OTS for its Training Center.

With its experience Hyperion can develop and deliver this generic OTS system, capable to sharpen the understanding of control room operators, operating supervisors, and other plant operators. The use of the simulator, will allow the trainees to gain operating experience, confidence, and accuracy in normal and abnormal plant operations.”
