Standard DYNSIM Training Courses
DYNSIM training is required for an efficient use of an Operator Training Simulator

DYNSIM Engineering Training – Understand the underlying technology and being able to maintain

• Understanding Unit Operations, How are configured and function

‒ Separation Towers, Drums, Reactors, Compressors, Expanders, Pumps, Heat Exchangers, Furnaces, Valves, Pipes, Motors

‒ PID controller & control configurations (Simple, Cascade, Complex)

• Basic Understanding of Physical Properties & Thermodynamics

‒ VLE, VLLE, VLEW, solids

‒ Cubic Equations of State

‒ Liquid Activity Methods

• You will learn how to configure a simple DYNSIM model from scratch and start-it-up (for example: Distillation Tower)
