VR SOP Training for Hydrogen Production, Compression & Storage

De-risk emerging operations with custom VR for H₂ process safety and compliance

Green and blue hydrogen assets introduce new process hazards, standards and public scrutiny. Spark designs and builds bespoke VR SOP training that reflects your electrolyser or reformer plant, purification systems, compression skids, tube trailers, refuelling interfaces and DCS/ESD philosophies—embedding safe behaviours from commissioning through steady-state operations.

Hydrogen pain points we solve

• High-diffusivity gas risk: leak detection, ventilation, ignition control, hazardous area practice.
• Electrolyser operations: start-up/shut-down, water quality, power management, emergency trips.
• Compression & storage: pressure/temperature limits, valve sequencing, integrity checks.
• Transport & refuelling: tube trailer coupling/decoupling, venting and blowdown, vehicle interfaces.
• Permit & emergency: PTW, LOTO, hot works, fire/gas alarms, muster and isolation strategies.

Our bespoke build approach

1. SOP & risk capture: gather HAZOP/LOPA, P&IDs, control narratives and OEM manuals.
2. Scenario design: electrolyser start-up, purity excursions, compressor trips, controlled blowdowns.
3. AI avatar coaching: reinforces critical steps, alarm responses and gas testing routines.
4. Assessment: critical control checks, deviation handling, time-to-safe-state metrics.
5. Integration: LMS/CMMS links, multilingual content, role-based pathways (ops, maintenance, contractors).

Commercial & compliance benefits

• Stronger process safety culture in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
• Faster, safer commissioning and workforce ramp-up.
• Audit-ready training records for investors, clients and authorities.
• Reduced downtime and fewer abnormal operations.

Why Spark
