The Next Step In Simulator Training
Operator Training Simulators have been around for decades. Started as hardware-based solutions, in the 1980s OTS applications became available for PCs. Now, ExplainMedia has come up with a new innovation: A virtual reality component showing the outside operator view. This 3D world is dynamically linked to the process simulator.
Custom 3D Simulator Coupling
ExplainMedia produced a "Virtual Refinery" extension of Simulation-Solutions’ Distillation Fundamentals Series. This proven concept can be applied to create customized, full scale plant models.
ExplainMedia offers complete visualization services to develop, extend, or convert high-quality technical content into static or interactive 3D materials. Process technology concepts are particularly suitable for our participative animations, improving the viewer’s insight into the spatial layout of equipment parts. We can also link a 3D virtual reality environment to an external data source, which can be a simple spreadsheet, or a professional process simulator.
At ExplainMedia, staff with a technical engineering background work closely with staff with years of experience in academic research, education, and new media. We look at things from your perspective.
Distillation Fundamentals

Fundamentals A:
- Centrifugal Pump
- Pump and Valve
- Fluid Flow
- Mix Tank
Fundamentals B:
- pH Control
- Condenser System
- Heat Exchanger
- Reboiler System
Fundamentals C:
- Flash Drum
- Cooling Water Tower
- Centrifugal Pumps
Intermediate:
- Distillation with Dynamic Profitability Analysis
Additional Fundamentals:
- Vacuum Ejector System
Advanced:
- Atmospheric Crude Unit (ACU)
- Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU)
