  • Spray drying plant operator training system
    Patent number: 12650683
    Abstract: A method for training an operator of a spray drying plant, the spray drying plant including a plurality of plant elements including pre-processing elements, a spray drying element, post-processing elements, powder recovery elements, and a programmable logic controller, PLC. The method including the steps of: obtaining a transient model of the spray drying plant, wherein the transient model includes transient sub-models of the plurality of plant elements; calculating repeatedly simulated sensor data based on the obtained transient model, using a processing unit; displaying on a display a training human machine interface, tHMI, configured to communicate with the transient model of the spray drying plant, and to display the simulated sensor data and control data for the transient model; and updating the transient model based on operator input on the tHMI, for controlling the transient model of the spray drying plant.
