VR SOP Training for Waste-to-Energy Plant Operations

Stable generation with safer routines and fewer stoppages

Energy-from-waste facilities combine heavy plant, combustion control and strict environmental limits. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your tipping hall rules, crane operations, boiler start-up/shutdown, flue gas treatment checks and incident drills—so teams practise the correct sequence without live risk.

Common challenges

• Safe operations: traffic plans, crane lifts and restricted zones.
• Combustion control: grate settings, feed rate and stability checks.
• Environmental compliance: CEMS alarms, baghouse performance and reagent handling.
• Incidents: bunker fire response, trip recovery and safe restart.

How our bespoke build works

1. Capture SOPs & limits: start-up scripts, alarm matrices and permit rules.
2. Create scenarios: normal shift rounds, trip events, bunker fire drill and maintenance isolations.
3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your control-room screens and checklists.
4. Assess: time-to-recover, missed steps and safety behaviours.

Benefits

• More stable generation and fewer unplanned stops.
• Better environmental compliance under pressure.
• Clear training evidence for audits.
