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.

Guided Reference

Step-by-step procedure notes and P&ID study with overlays. No failure state. Use it like a living operator handbook before you sit at the real board.

Live Operations

Full shift simulation with Plant Rounds (your personal baselines), pop-out trends, realistic pig surges and equipment faults. Reference tool + zero-risk AOC rehearsal.

Guided Reference and Live Operations: actual current Stabilizer P&ID with engineering title block, professional DCS reference, no game overlays

The Stabilizer Plant.
Ops reference & training.

The essential first board every operator masters. Use the P&ID, faceplates, trends, and Plant Rounds as reference during real shifts. Rehearse pig arrivals and faults with zero risk.

THE BOARD YOU WILL RUN

Stabilizer Plant

Real operations reference. Pig receiver, inlet sep, hot oil, reboiler, tower, compression, tanks, RVP, truck loading.

  • Reboiler temperature control & cascade
  • RVP management & product spec
  • Pig receiver operations & liquid surges
  • Hot oil, truck loading, full P&L
  • Plant Rounds for your personal baselines
  • Pop-out trends for second monitor reference
Launch Stabilizer Reference Simulator

Ops reference tool. Use the P&ID and faceplates on shift. Rehearse events here first.

FOR TRAINING MANAGERS, OPS LEADERS, AND OQ PROGRAMS

Why spend budget on this?

Not a game. A high-fidelity reference and practice system that rolls AOC rehearsal, on-shift reference, and audit-ready records into one place, at a fraction of what a traditional OTS stack costs.

Risk Reduction & Faster Competency

New operators build real pattern recognition on the exact board they will run before they touch a live DCS. Rehearse pig surges, hot-oil cascades, compressor trips, and off-spec excursions with zero risk to production or safety. Experienced operators get refreshers on rare high-consequence events without waiting for them to happen on shift.

Traditional OJT is slow, inconsistent, and the mistakes are expensive. Textbooks teach theory only.

Compliance Records and OQ Practice

Every scenario practices real Abnormal Operating Conditions. Actions are logged. Plant Rounds create personal performance baselines. One-click Reference Logs become timestamped artifacts for shift handover, incident investigation, or training records. The B2B tier adds formal OQ record export and evaluator sign-off (ASME B31Q / 49 CFR aligned).

Today you buy OQ tracking, separate simulators, SOP tools, and audit prep from 5 to 7 vendors. This replaces most of that.

Real On-Shift Reference Tool (Not Throwaway Training)

Plant Rounds pull your own baseline values into the trends. Pop-out trends support second-monitor use exactly like real DCS consoles. Accurate P&ID, faceplates, and capture/export become living reference during actual operations. Operators will actually pull this up on shift, not just during annual training.

Dramatically Lower Cost & Friction

Browser-based PWA. No $700k+ hardware sim. No dongles. No heavy IT deployment. Free for individuals and power engineering students. Team licensing and custom facility models (your P&IDs, setpoints, procedures) are available for companies that want standardized, defensible training across sites or for small operators who cannot afford traditional solutions.

Built by a 10+ year operator who trained and signed off real board operators. Senior people respect it instead of dismissing it.

The free Stabilizer is how you evaluate the quality before any conversation happens. B2B builds go further: your exact plant, your P&IDs, your setpoints, your upsets, your SOPs, modeled on the same engine. Cryo, amine, NGL, pigs, refrigeration, TEG, full Stabilizer. When you sign off on the build spec, that is what ships.

Josh Winter, 10+ year gas plant operator

Built by an operator,
for operators.

I spent over 10 years as a senior operator running real gas plants (Stabilizer and Cryo). I personally trained and signed off operators before they ran a board. The Stabilizer is the essential first board every operator masters: pig management, reboiler control, RVP, cascade, upset recovery. This is built as a high-fidelity reference tool operators can actually use on shift or in training, with zero risk to the live plant. The free Stabilizer experience is the public credibility window. B2B custom builds deliver complete plants (your P&IDs, procedures, upsets) using the same engine.

Josh Winter, Founder, Winter Howlers

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 complete custom simulations for real midstream gas plants: full Condensate Stabilizer operations (pigging and inlet, heat exchange, tower level/reboiler, compressor, RVP management, product handling), Cryogenic plants (mol sieve, turboexpander/expander, cold box, demethanizer, residue), Refrigeration/TEG dehy systems, Amine treating, NGL pumps and fractionation, and every supporting system and procedure. Same engine. Same decision-making focus. Your exact P&IDs, setpoints, upsets, and SOPs, modeled exactly as your plant runs them.

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