A New Plant Comes On Stream

The plant's alert approach to operations, maintenance, and information is obvious. Operators are calm and in control. Managers are well informed, but never overwhelmed with data. All facilities are under control, ready to unleash their full potential for occasional peak load. At the same time, potential problems are anticipated before they happen. All this in the life of a vigilant operation.

Calm, efficient control room

The control room is quiet, with arrays of computer screens displaying trends and messages on the walls and operating desks. Gone are the chart recorders, printers, meters and push buttons of yesterday. Operating staff remain calm, monitoring operations, preparing the plant for routine testing and maintenance.

Operators ready for emergencies

Other operating staff take time out from the control room for refresher training on the plant's full replica training simulator. Here, the atmosphere is not quite as calm as operating staff get put through their paces responding to emergency conditions, and undergo training for less common tasks such as plant start-up.
