Jamie Buchanan is to head up the new Product Design and Development Division at virtual engineering specialist Altair Engineering.
The training simulator is currently being developed in Crawley, using Invensys OTS software architecture.
Invensys is the main automation vendor (MAV) for this project, delivering the Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system (DCS), a Triconex TMR triple redundant safety and emergency fire and gas system (ESD), and the operator training simulator.
The simulator has provided precommissioning control system (DCS/ESD) checkout, process design verification and a high fidelity operator training.
The installation combines SIM4MET, Simsci-Esscor's world-class simulation executive for high fidelity process modelling and operator training.
The OTS also features FSIM Plus, the Foxboro I/A Series DCS simulation tool, and TRISIM Plus, the Triconex TMR ESD and turbo-machinery emulation tool to provide a high-fidelity operator training simulator.
Subsequent project wins for several more OTS' also destined for offshore West Africa will also feature DYNSIM, Simsci-Esscor's world-class simulation software for high fidelity dynamic process modelling.
