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
Design operation 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 to
cope 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 by

purpose of providing a plant operator training simulator (OTS) is not only for operators to
learn plant operating procedures, but also to provide an environment that enables
unprecedented and satisfying communication, by “connecting” young operators with
experienced operators, so as to pass on operational know-how at plant start-up and
techniques for dealing with abnormalities. Furthermore, even in the daily plant monitoring
operation tasks, mutual trust is born by interactive communication conducted through the

Educator O E M

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 the
operation 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 that
allow observing important feature quantities and their changes according to the exercises. There are also various exercises that can
be studied repeatedly according to the level of the trainee, and many themes available to efficiently learn the process principles and
unit 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 them
to attend, and manage their attendance records. OmegaLand

O E P M

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 mathematical
model 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 plant
visualization, 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.
