OmegaLand (Integrated Environment for Dynamic Simulation) connects people,

knowledge, expertise and experience, and the virtual world (simulation) in a variety offorms by utilizing modeling technology and dynamic simulation technology in the plantlife cycle of manufacturing sites supporting production activities, then supports people in
the plant operation business more reliably, more safely, more securely and more
eﬃciently.

C hange
We are facing the environmental changes like the rapidly proceeding energy

diversiﬁcation, global population increase, economic and social structure changes,

concerns about global warming, water problems associated with global natural disasters,

furthermore the environment surrounding industrial production activities, such as entries
from other industries, contributing to local communities, compliance rules, is changing
dramatically from the global level to the regional level. Amid such changes, the diﬃculty of

Designoperation is increasing at manufacturing sites and urgent measures are frequently

required in response to operation adjustments in accordance with ﬂuctuations in raw

material prices, the retirement of experienced operators, and the loss of opportunities tocope with unsteady operation and process ﬂuctuations due to the penetration of
automatic control.

At the manufacturing sites where it is required to respond to such environment changes,

more eﬃciency and safety are required than ever before: not only more stable and reliable
operation but also the reduction of speciﬁc energy consumption, yield improvements,

countermeasures to cyber terrorism and the extension of shutdown maintenance period.
Furthermore, with the evolution of computer science represented by statistical analysis

and practical applications of the considerable amounts of digital data accumulated day byday, the advancement of computer science represented by AI technology makes it

Simulation is designed to solve such problems in the plant life cycle to support people

involved in diverse tasks through modeling and simulation technologies. For example, thepurpose of providing a plant operator training simulator (OTS) is not only for operators tolearn plant operating procedures, but also to provide an environment that enables

unprecedented and satisfying communication, by “connecting” young operators withexperienced operators, so as to pass on operational know-how at plant start-up and1

OmegaLand Trainer provides a high performance operator training environment with a high ﬁdelity, high speed
performance precise plant model. For example, since it is possible to connect to the plant model using the DCS and safety
instrumented system applications that are actually used in the plant, realistic training can be performed such as startup,
shutdown and troubleshooting operation procedures of control room or ﬁeld operators. In addition, it can be used fordesigning operations according to the process behavior, verifying operations before reconﬁguring the instrumentationand control system, creating standard operation procedure manuals, and verifying advanced control operations.

OmegaLand Educator uses dynamic simulation models to enable studying the process principles required for plant
operators and engineers in a wide range of learning styles including personal learning and group learning by
instructors. For example, learning can be done on individual computers and remotely through networks by studying
topics such as PID tuning methods, capacity losses due to heat exchanger fouling, material balances / heat balances
around a boiler, etc. In addition, applications that allow mastering unit operations by using general dynamic simulation
models of distillation towers and compressors are also provided.

OmegaLand Solver makes modeling possible without programming knowledge because numerical solutions can beobtained simply by expressing equations as they are. For example, calculation results can be obtained simply by
inputting as equations, calculations such as reactor analysis, heat exchanger heat transfer, process material balancesor chemical equilibrium calculations. Moreover, it is possible to verify control system logic not only oﬄine but also by
connecting to a control system via OPC. Furthermore, a connection with the control system of an actual plant can beused as an internal process visualization tool and as an optimization tool.

OmegaLand Trainer is mainly used as a plant operation training simulator for operators. There are two types of simulators: theemulation type for which the GUI and control logic is developed in addition to the process model in the OmegaLand environment
only, and the DCS software type for which the DCS application that is actually used in the real plant is connected to the plant model
to build a training environment. Both types are equipped with functions that enable to implement and manage training ﬂexibly andeﬀectively, to strengthen training evaluation functions, and to ﬂexibly change the system conﬁguration. Furthermore, by simulatingﬁeld operation conditions through graphic functions coordinated with 3D systems, it is possible to develop a more realistic training
environment linked with the monitoring operation training in the instrument control room.

OmegaLand Educator is an educational application that uses dynamic simulation. It can be used by selecting simulators (multiple
selections are possible) from the application group: operation principle editions and basic unit editions. The main purpose of theoperation principle editions is to learn the theories and rules of processes, while the aim of the basic unit editions is to teach unit
operations. These products include process models specialized for each application, with operation windows, ﬁgures and tables thatallow observing important feature quantities and their changes according to the exercises. There are also various exercises that canbe studied repeatedly according to the level of the trainee, and many themes available to eﬃciently learn the process principles andunit operations. A dedicated learning booklet is also included. In addition, there is also a network version that can be used by a large
number of participants at once, and that allow trainees to use the applications separately, assign applications that you want themto attend, and manage their attendance records. OmegaLand
Educator will support eﬃcient acquisition of practical knowledge
and skills, since it is easy to use and enables each trainee toexperience the behavior of processes for actual operation that until
now could only be taught in classrooms.

OmegaLand Solver can perform numerical calculations simply by inputting a equation model created without considering calculation
algorithms by use of the functions of the EQUATRAN equation solving software. Therefore, it is possible to solve a mathematicalmodel in a short time compared to a programming language. A model creation function in the C language is also oﬀered for users
who are familiar at solving numerical calculations with programming languages. Interactive dynamic simulation and static simulation
can be performed by deﬁning the created equation model as a unit on a graphical interface and combining those units. In addition,
since it can be connected to a real plant via an OPC interface, OmegaLand Solver can be utilized as an online system for plantvisualization, or equipment diagnosis by balance calculations, through model calculation using real-time process data of real plants.
By combining them with graphic functions, simulation results can be displayed in an easily understandable manner.
