Virtual Training System of a Horizontal Three-Phase Separator.

Abstract

This paper presents a virtual training system, developed in the Unity3D graphics engine, oriented to control a three-phase horizontal separator. The design of the virtual environment aims to provide users with the ability to implement different control strategies to test the evolution of the process against different desired values. Besides, it allows to visually verify the variation of the level within the separator. The option of user levels strengthens the concept of monitoring, control, and supervision in an industrial plant, and these advantages of the system will consolidate the learning process of engineering students. Finally, it was determined that the virtual training system is good because the percentage of SUS usability was 72.5%.
