Operator Training Simulators (OTS)

KBR has an outstanding team of technology, simulation and training experts who help translate your business goals of safe, economic and reliable operation into tailored solutions for your facility. Our portfolio covers all KBR licensed technologies and extends into LNG, oil and gas, refining and other petrochemical verticals.

For greenfield facilities, the use of Operator Training Simulators within an integrated training program ensures you achieve both the fastest possible start-up and earliest stable operations at design capacity.

An Operator Training Simulator (OTS) is the only tool that ensures plant operators receive plant specific and realistic hands-on training ahead of plant start-up and throughout plant operation.

KBR's user-friendly OTS systems are configured with KBR’s proprietary reactor models and physical property methods and include scenarios that are particular to your specific plant and process. As a complement to classroom training, a comprehensive portfolio of training scenarios allow operators to reach competency in a safe, realistic, repeatable and hands-on environment.

Benefits of OTS Include:

  • A typical 30% reduction in the training time of an experienced workforce
  • For a non-experienced workforce, training times drop from one-three years to six months
  • A three-five day reduction in the initial start-up time of a typical process plant
  • Confidence knowing that plant automation systems are fully tested prior to start up

Long Term Benefits of OTS Include:

  • Operator best practices are reinforced through refresher training
  • Increases workforce flexibility through cross-trained operators
  • The opportunity to test trial modifications to the plant’s control and automation systems and process configurations
  • The development and refinement of operating procedures
  • OTS training helps accelerate Advanced Process Controls (APC) implementation

At KBR we enhance the value of our OTS systems by deploying integrated engineering, commissioning and simulator teams on our projects. In this way we are able to drive synergies between and across projects that deliver increased benefits to our customers.
