VR SOP Training for Refineries & Petrochemicals

Make complex procedures simple, consistent and safe

Refining and petrochem plants require disciplined starts, changeovers and maintenance isolations. Spark designs bespoke VR training that mirrors your units (distillation, reforming, cracking, polymerisation) and site rules—so operators practise without process risk.

Typical challenges

• Start-up/shutdown: purge, heat-up, pressure control and interlocks.
• LOTO & permits: mechanical/electrical isolation and gas testing.
• Changeovers: line-ups, blinds, flare routing and contamination control.
• Emergency response: leaks, fires, trips and muster discipline.

Our bespoke build approach

1. Capture SOPs & P&IDs: procedures, alarm limits and checklists.
2. Create scenarios: unit light-up, catalyst change, pump swap, flare events.
3. Coach in VR: prompts that match your control narratives.
4. Assess: right-first-time, deviation handling and retraining needs.

Benefits

• Fewer incidents and cleaner changeovers.
• Stable operations during critical transitions.
• Defensible competence records for audits.

Why Spark

No generic modules—your plant logic drives the training.
