The Hands-on Operations Training Skid (#656) is a


comprehensive process-related training system that
provides realistic training for process technicians in
process facilities of all kinds.
This training aid will build upon training topics
imbedded in any PTEC (Process Technology) or
BOT (Basic Operator Training) curriculum. The
#656 will include realistic full-sized equipment
which can be used in a variety of real-world
applications.

All of this activity has been a goal of industry needs


for years. The reality is, however, that budgetary
concerns, environmental requirements, and a generic
system that encompasses all of the above are very
difficult to attain in one unit. The estimated cost of a
new Pet Plant is from approximately 1.5 2 million
dollars.
This system will provide the following benefits:

This environment allows for training, assessment,


and structured exercises of the primary activities
undertaken in the petrochemical industry. The #656
creates a realistic environment for training of plant
operations as performed in the field.

The #656 contains between 100 - 120 hands-on


activities and exercises available for use. These
activities and exercises are fully compatible with
individual PTEC courses and will be a singular
answer to situations where Internships cannot be
instituted. This ensures the viable alternate of
Independent Study to fulfill the needs of a
required Capstone credit.

This unit would be extremely useful to training


departments for Basic Operator Training for those
companies that cannot or do not hire PTEC
graduates and can be very useful for incumbent
training of incumbent company employees.

It fits well within the typical budget of funding


for Industrial Schools.
This unit will be environmentally friendly; not
using glycol which is very corrosive or
methanol which is flammable. Some locations
may require environmental licenses or
certificates to operate with those chemicals.
This unit will use water.
Glycol and methanol Pet Plants require a
considerable amount of funding for
maintenance costs. This unit will require very
little maintenance cost.
The #656 is extremely flexible allowing
realistic exercises to be performed where they
are not possible on glycol and/or methanol pet
plants ( i.e.: leaking flange ) The unit is
designed so that it can be made portable for
use with a truck and trailer if so desired.
This unit will have PLC capabilities for
computer operations.

The value a PTEC student or a new Basic Operator Trainee will gain from this facility will be enormous. This
equipment will serve Engineering Orientation very well for future training of new engineers within the industry.
