Main Process Training Rig
MPTR
Overview
The training rig is based entirely on industrial technologies. It presents a complex project task for training of piping and plant fitters as well as for maintenance technicians. Mechanical, electrical and hydraulic topics can be covered with this rig.
The rig consists of two units:
Unit 1: Flow control and level control
Unit 2: Flow control, level control and temperature control
The units work independently of each other. Each unit contains a complete process circuit with pumps, tanks and pipe work including a variety of valves, fittings and measuring instruments. Typical industrial components such as heat exchangers, filters and heaters are also included. Thereby a realistic industrial situation is created.
