OPERATOR-GRADE TRAINING

Everything you need to run a real board

Real-time P&L Dashboard

Track revenue, penalties, and net profit hour by hour. Hit your shift targets the way you would in the field.

Live Alarms & Events

Respond to upsets, weather changes, pig arrivals, and equipment failures the way they happen on shift.

Interactive P&ID

Full process flow diagrams with working valves, controllers, and instrumentation. ISA-101 color discipline throughout.

Two training modes.
Both built around how operators actually learn.

Walkthrough

Step-by-step guided lessons with P&ID overlays. No failure state. Build your mental model of the plant before you take real responsibility.

Live Shift

Real-time operations. Manage throughput, respond to upsets, handle field radio calls, and meet P&L targets under pressure.

Two facilities. Progressive complexity.

Start with fundamentals or move straight into full cryogenic operations.

TIER 1 . FUNDAMENTALS

Stabilizer Plant

Learn the fundamentals every operator must master.

Reboiler temperature control
RVP (Reid Vapor Pressure) management
Pig receiver operations
Truck loading and hot oil system

Start Stabilizer Training

110 MMCFD

TIER 2 . ADVANCED

Cryo Plant

Full-scale cryogenic facility with turboexpander, mol sieve, and amine treating.

Turboexpander and mol sieve dehydration
Demethanizer column operations
Amine treating for H₂S removal
Cold box, residue gas compression, mode switching

Built by an operator,
for operators.

I spent 10 years as a senior operator on a 3-train cryogenic plant. I personally trained and signed off every new operator before they were allowed to run a board. I was on the ground for three full plant startups and two compressor station startups, from construction through commissioning. I built and maintained TEG dehydration skids across the country.

Built for the 99% of operators who will never sit in front of a $700,000 hardware-locked simulator. Browser-based. No license dongles. No IT deployment.

Real PI control loops with bumpless transfer. Real ISA-101 alarm discipline. Real cascade physics. The same plant a 10-year cryo operator runs at work, designed from scratch and rebuilt for the browser. Not a replacement for time on location. A bridge, so a new hire can build real pattern recognition before sitting at a live board.

Custom versions for your facility

We build custom versions of Cold Creek modeled directly on your plant's process, controls, and procedures. Same engine. Same decision-making focus. Your P&IDs, your setpoints, your upsets.

Most custom builds are scoped and delivered in 60–90 days.
