VR SOP Training for Fertilisers & Agrochemicals

Custom VR to strengthen process safety, environmental compliance and product quality

Nitrogen, phosphate and speciality agrochemical plants face hazardous chemistries, evolving regulation and community expectations. Spark builds bespoke VR SOP training aligned to your process—ammonia/urea, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, NPK granulation, solvents and reaction trains—so teams rehearse high-risk tasks and upsets safely.

Sector pain points we address

• Hazardous substances: ammonia, nitric acid, acids/solvents, dust explosivity and ATEX.
• Start-up/shut-down: catalyst care, temperature/pressure windows, interlocks and permissives.
• Granulation & drying: product consistency, dust control, scrubbers and emissions limits.
• Environmental compliance: effluents, NOx/NH₃ releases, spill response and monitoring.
• Permit & maintenance: LOTO, confined spaces, hot work, contractor onboarding.

Bespoke build pathway

1. SOP & risk capture: HAZOP/LOPA, P&IDs, environmental permits and emergency plans.
2. Scenario design: reactor start-ups, trip recovery, scrubber upsets, granulator changeovers.
3. AI avatar coaching: reinforces critical steps, PPE, gas testing and hold points.
4. Assessment & analytics: right-first-time, deviation handling, time-to-safe-state.
5. Integration: LMS links, multilingual modules, role-based content (ops, maintenance, EHS).

Operational outcomes

• Improved process safety and fewer environmental non-conformances.
• Greater product consistency and reduced off-spec batches.
• Faster, safer onboarding of new operators and contractors.
• Defensible competence evidence for regulators and stakeholders.

Why Spark

We replicate your plant, SOPs and permit conditions—no generic courses—so practice becomes performance on shift.
