PetroSkills|Simulation Solutions Hosts ChemE-Sports Competition
Last month, PetroSkills|Simulation Solutions hosted a ChemE-Sports workshop at Texas A&M for the AIChE Student Chapter. This workshop was based on the national ChemE-Sports Competition developed by the Simulation Solutions team. The inaugural event was last year at the Orlando AIChE Student Conference. PetroSkills|Simulation Solutions teamed up with Dr. Bozic of Columbia University to put on this competition which has student teams compete on a dynamic distillation process simulator. Teams were tasked with operating a simulated distillation column with a goal of minimizing process alarms and maximizing tower profitability. This distillation simulator is the highlighted program in the PetroSkills|Simulation Solutions 2-Day troubleshooting courses for operators.

Students at both the National Conference and A&M workshop noted that working with this industry focused software package has given them a look into the type of tasks they will face when they graduate and enter the workforce.
Congratulations to our winners! We look forward to seeing you compete again next year.
