Virtual Training for Industrial Process: Pumping System

Abstract

The article presents a virtual environment of a pumping system oriented to training of users that interact with industrial processes. The application of it was performed in a graphic engine Unity 3D, where shows two training environments: i) Electro pumps laboratory, simulates control operations of control for manipulating many configurations from centrifugal pumps in individual, serie or parallel in order to visualize by an HMI the physical parameters such as: pressure, flow and temperature; ii) Industrial environment the user prepares in a complementary way how to know industrial processes in a practical and realistic way. In order for making the virtual application immersive and interactive, the modeling of the electrical characteristics of the pumping system was carried out.

Review of Virtual Reality (VR) Applications To Enhance Chemical Safety: From Students to Plant Operators

“…The inclusion of dynamic simulation enables students to obtain and observe dynamic values of each variable trend pop-up in the VR. These simulations can also be created using ASPEN, a popular simulation software used for chemical processes, and MATLAB. , This step may not be necessary in cases involving training for static conditions, such as familiarizing plant personnel with the plant layout.…”
