Hyperion Simulation to supply the OTS system for IGC Carbon Monoxide Plant to SIPCHEM

Hyperion Simulation will provide a Stimulated DCS OTS System Solution for the SIPCHEM IGC CO OTS project. A stand alone OTS system will be developed connected to Emerson DeltaV DCS equipment. This solution will provide a hybrid system for the DCS, using emulated controllers and real Emerson DeltaV Operator stations. The Operator’s environment will be replicated using graphics from the actual plant’s DCS. The solution will provide the advanced features of emulated controllers - such as faster-than-real-time performance.

Hyperion Simulation will be the main supplier of the OTS system, and responsible for the functionality and handover of the complete system.

Hyperion Simulation’s responsibilities on the project will include:
* Development of the dynamic process models for the IGC Carbon Monoxide (CO) plant, using DYNSIM™ dynamic simulation software
* Emulation of the Safety System
* Integration of the process models with the emulated Safety System
* Development of the Instructor and Field Operator Station
* Integration of the Emerson DeltaV DCS simulation system with the process models and the Safety System
* Installation and commissioning in an exclusive training facility at SIPCHEM site
* Provision of appropriate training and documentation (manuals and specifications)

Reliability Engineering Department of SIPCHEM stated, “An OTS system is a valuable tool that is mainly used to train control room operators and field operators on various aspects of the plant operations. With this project we expect to receive a custom OTS system, developed to match the SIPCHEM process equipment and provide the same “look and feel” as real features of CO process operation. We have selected Hyperion Simulation for this project, as they have proven experience in the development and delivery of similar systems and we are confident that they can satisfy our expectations and project requirements.”

Mr. Dean R. Jones, Executive Vice President of Hyperion Simulation stated, “We are truly satisfied by the fact that SIPCHEM has selected Hyperion Simulation for the provision of the IGC CO OTS. Hyperion Simulation is committed to develop and deliver a custom OTS system which will provide the trainees with a very realistic representation of the actual process unit at steady state and dynamic conditions, in such a manner that there is no significant difference between operating at the simulator or, the actual process unit. The Hyperion OTS will ensure that SIPCHEM will capture benefits on a year to year basis by using the simulator throughout the plant lifecycle.”
