VR SOP Training for Water & Wastewater Treatment

Operate safely, protect quality and respond to alarms with confidence

Utilities must keep water safe while managing complex plants. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your intakes, screens, clarifiers, filters, membranes, disinfection and sludge handling—so operators practise day-to-day and emergency tasks risk-free.

Common issues we fix

  • Process control: dosing, turbidity, filter-to-waste and backwash timing.
  • Safety: confined spaces, chemicals, gas detection and LOTO.
  • Alarms & upsets: high turbidity, low residuals, pump failures and spills.
  • Records: sampling, logbooks and compliance reporting.

How the custom build works

  1. Capture SOPs: works instructions, permits and compliance limits.
  2. Create scenarios: start-up, backwash, chemical deliveries and alarm responses.
  3. Coach in VR: clear prompts aligned to your SCADA tags.
  4. Measure: right-first-time, time-to-safe-state and missed checks.

Benefits

  • Fewer compliance breaches and service failures.
  • Safer handling of chemicals and confined spaces.
  • Stronger evidence for regulators and auditors.
