Virtual commissioning and operator training with SIMIT

For over a decade, Siemens has partnered with NCERC to elevate renewable fuel production with state-of-the-art technology for process control, simulation and monitoring.

The centerpiece of NCERC's dynamic workforce education program is the SIMIT

Simulation Platform for PCS 7.

Other Siemens solutions utilized include SIMATIC Batch, a variety of digital process instruments, gas analyzers and smart electrical devices.

Jayhawk Fine Chemicals needed to optimize batch production in 4 plants to ensure consistently high quality for diverse customers.

Jayhawk uses a variety of Siemens automation solutions, includng used includes SIMATIC PCS 7 with SIMATIC BATCH and SIMIT Simulation Platform.

SIMIT allows the team to test new control strategies, including sequences, and make any necessary changes prior to deployment.

Ideal way to capture experienced workers' knowledge and better prepare newer operators to handle high-impact events, e.g. plant shutdowns/start-ups, in a risk-free environment

SIMIT paired seamlessly with DuPont's proprietary simulation technology to fulfill all training requirements.

Easy setup and use of virtual controllers for data transfer.

First-time implementation of plant-wide automation uisng Siemens solutions, including SIMIT, SIMATIC PCS 7 and SIWAREX weighing modules.

SIMIT-based testing and evaluations have optimized engineering and substantially shortened commissioning time.

“We're positively astounded by the [SIMIT] simulation platform.” – Roger Knüttel, Manager of the Control Engineering Department.
