Simulation
GSE’s EnVision simulation is a real-time dynamic process
simulation program used for Operator Training. It is
based upon a rigorous and High-Fidelity mathematical
process model to provide a realistic dynamic response
of a process unit.

The Simulator allows a Trainee to Practice:

Major Equipment:
• Feed Surge Drum
• Reactor
• One Filter / Olefin Saturation Bed
• Two Hydrotreating Beds
• Three Hydrocracking Beds
• Reactor Effluent Heat Recovery Train
• Recycle Gas Furnace
• Recycle Gas Compressor
• Make-up Gas Compressor
• High and Low Pressure Separators
• Sour Water Flash Drum
• Fractionation Section ( Simplified )
Key Operating Variables:
• Reactor Feed: 212 M3/H ( 32 MBPD )
• Hydrogen Feed: 62 KNM3/H( 2.2 MSCFH)
• Off Gas Product: 4.5 KNM3/H( 160 MSCFH)
• LPG Product: 27.5 M3/H ( 4.1 MBPD )
• Light Naphtha Product: 37 M3/H ( 5.5 MBPD )
• Heavy Naphtha Product: 45 M3/H ( 6.8 MBPD )
• Kerosene Product: 68 M3/H (10.3 MBPD )
• Gas Oil Product: 50 M3/H ( 7.6 MBPD )
• WABT: 412 C ( 774 F )
• Sulfur Conversion: 99 Wt%
• Nitrogen Conversion 96 Wt%
• Cracking Conversion 79 LV%

• Simulation comes with a Learning Management System (LMS) called SimAdmin that allows an instructor to register
trainees and monitor their performance
• Simulation is available as Standalone (Single or Dual Monitor) and Instructor-Trainee versions
