NESTE EQUIPS ITS OPERATORS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AHEAD OF THE SINGAPORE EXPANSION PROJECT START UP WITH NAPCON TRAIN SOLUTIONS

Neste is expanding its renewable products production capacity in Singapore and the new units are set to start by early 2023. The future operators have started their training two years in advance with NAPCON Train solutions. Their extensive training will enable a safe start up, since the operators will have familiarised themselves with the new facilities through the NAPCON tools.

The operators’ learning path consists of the basics of the chemical phenomena and a deep dive into the specifics of the site under construction. The basics are trained with NAPCON Games combined with theoretical e-learning content. After the basics, the NAPCON Simulator will deepen the operators’ skills into the plant they will be operating. Having risk free practise time with the NAPCON Simulator has taken away stress from the operators on the upcoming start up.

The simulator project has been executed extremely well in the challenging pandemic conditions. The remote tests and installations were handled well and on time with exemplary cooperation of several stakeholders and the operators were able to start their training well in advance of the commissioning of the site.
