We ask Ron:
How does dynamic simulation fit into the training of process upsets (Malfunctions/Failures)?
Ron's Response:
Depending on the complexity of your process it can be impossible to write a procedure of every upset. If this was accomplished, could you find the right one in time. Anot

We ask Ron:
How does dynamic simulation fit into the development and training of Emergency Procedures?
Ron's Response:
Freeze up is an unfortunate response to becoming overwhelmed. Reading through a procedure is a different experience than a major event or plant shutdown when the alarm page

We ask Ron:
How does dynamic simulation fit into the development and training of process startup?
Ron's Response:
Process startups can be very challenging as there can be several systems coming online at the same time. This can be very challenging to cover in a step-by-step procedure when s

We ask Ron:
When implementing a simulator training program what is Preparation?
Ron's Response:
Although there may be many ways to approach simulator training, I will discuss the approach I use and why. This approach may have to be adapted depending on the schedules and availability of the

We ask Ron:
How does dynamic simulation fit into the development of an effective training program?
Ron's Response:
Most programs to train and qualify panel operators start the same way. The trainee will read all the associated manuals which are usually followed by some written or electronic
