The Situation Room.

The flight simulator for industrial plants.

120 real situations. Real physics. Real consequences.

Every situation in the library is grounded in a real incident, matched to your facility, and run live so the consequence emerges from physics instead of being scripted.

Standby Pump Restart Into a Defeated Boundary

Standby Pump Restart Into a Defeated Boundary

The Piper Alpha pattern

Standby Pump Restart Into a Defeated Boundary

  • What: The duty pump trips. Under pressure, you start the “spare” its relief valve is off for maintenance.
  • Why: The permit handover failed. Nobody on shift knows the boundary is open.
  • How: Discharge head meets an open flange: rapid blowdown, flammable build-up.
  • Cited fact: Piper Alpha, 1988 the standby pump’s PSV was removed, its blind hand-tight. 167 died. (Cullen Inquiry)
Blocked-In Equipment Isolated From Its Relief Device

Blocked-In Equipment Isolated From Its Relief Device

Then the heat came on

Blocked-In Equipment Isolated From Its Relief Device

  • What: Someone shut the valves between the vessel and its safety valve. Then heat is admitted.
  • Why: A vessel with no relief path has no way out but rupture.
  • How: Trapped liquid heats, expands, and the pressure climbs with nothing to lift.
  • Cited fact: Williams Geismar, 2013 a reboiler valved off from its PSV was heated and ruptured. 2 killed, 167 injured. (CSB)

Distillation Column Overfill on Start-Up

The level that lied

Distillation Column Overfill on Start-Up

  • What: During start-up the tower fills far past its level range while the gauge reads normal.
  • Why: Start-up is where the routine ends and the incidents begin.
  • How: Overfill and overheat send liquid to the blowdown drum then over the top of it.
  • Cited fact:BP Texas City, 2005 the raffinate splitter overfilled on start-up; the cloud ignited. 15 killed, 170+ injured. (CSB)
Flammable Gas-Cloud Dispersion → VCE

Flammable Gas-Cloud Dispersion → VCE

22 minutes of drifting vapour

Flammable Gas-Cloud Dispersion → VCE

  • What: A release keeps feeding a vapour cloud that drifts across the site, looking for a spark.
  • Why: The window to isolate closes while the cloud grows.
  • How: Release rate vs. dispersion vs. detection a race the physics runs in real time.
  • Cited fact: Buncefield, 2005 a tank overfill fed a ~360 m vapour cloud; it found ignition after ~22 minutes. (MIIB)
Pump Dry-Running - Loss of Suction

Pump Dry-Running / Loss of Suction

Nothing to pump, still spinning

Pump Dry-Running / Loss of Suction

  • What: The suction empties but the pump keeps running with nothing inside to move.
  • Why: The liquid it lost is the same liquid that cools and lubricates its seal.
  • How: Seal-face temperature climbs in minutes; seal first, bearings next.
  • Cited fact: Lack of lubrication is the primary cause of mechanical-seal failure the part of a pump most likely to fail. (API 682 literature)

Five of 120. Every card: a real incident behind it, three difficulty levels inside it.

The gap

An LLM can describe a hazard. Only physics can rehearse one.

A model that has read every incident report can tell you what a blocked-in vessel does when heat is admitted. But telling isn’t training. In the Situation Room the vessel is actually blocked in, the heat is actually rising, and the pressure is a live variable that will do what pressure does whether or not you notice in time.

And training today skips exactly the moments that kill: start-ups, shutdowns, the return to service after maintenance. You can’t drill a transient on a live plant, so the first time most operators meet one for real, it’s real.

~50%

of major process-safety incidents

occur during start-ups, shut-downs and other infrequent operations the transients almost nobody gets to practise.

⚠ Industry-cited figure (2010 refining-industry study, surfaced via the CSB Safety Digest on start-up/shutdown) flagged, not our own claim.

Piper Alpha · 1988

Standby Pump Restart Into a Defeated Boundary

The standby condensate pump’s PSV was removed for maintenance; the restart released condensate through the incomplete boundary. 167 dead.

BP Texas City · 2005

Overfill-Induced Overpressure & Relief-System Overwhelm

Start-up overfill drove relief into an atmospheric blowdown drum that overflowed. 15 killed, ~180 injured.

Buncefield · 2005

Flammable Gas-Cloud Dispersion → VCE

A petrol-tank overfill fed a ~360 m vapour cloud that ignited one of the largest peacetime explosions in Europe.

DuPont La Porte · 2014

Toxic Trapped Liquid in a Vent / Drain Header

Workers opened drain valves on a blocked-in vent header, releasing methyl mercaptan inside a building. 4 workers died.

The card

Anatomy of a situation

Every title is a self-describing card: the story in plain language, the evidence with its sources, and the physics dials that turn one story into three levels.

Blocked-In Equipment Isolated From Its Relief Device

Blocked-In Equipment Isolated From Its Relief Device

“Someone shut the valves between the vessel and its safety valve. Then the heat came on.”

What · Why · How

What happens, in plain language. Why it matters the human stakes. How the physics gets you trapped liquid, admitted heat, no relief path.

How often · Consequences

How frequently this pattern shows up in the incident record, and what it costs when it does from a shift-stopping trip to a vessel rupture.

Level 1

Beginner

  • Guidance on the twin highlights what matters
  • Single clean fault, announced onset
  • All sensors honest
  • Generous timeand margins

Level 2

Operator

  • Guidance off you find it yourself
  • Single fault, but it presents through symptoms, not labels
  • Sensors honest
  • Realistic pacingand margins

Level 3

Expert

  • No guidance, real time pressure
  • Cascading faults one failure triggers the next
  • At least one lying or dead sensor
  • Tight time, thin margins

No new content between levels the same physics, with the dials turned: guidance, cascades, lying sensors, time pressure.

The matcher

Matched to your rig, not a generic one

EON Universal already understands your facility its components and how they connect. The matcher scans that model against every card’s trigger pattern and tells you which stories your rig can actually play.

Blocked Outlet: Pressure to the PSV

✓ fits vessel + PSV + block valve found on the pipe-graph

Settle-Out Pressure After Compressor Trip

Non-fitting titles never silently disappear they grey out, with the reason spelled out.

Being straight about the evidence

66 of 120 titles carry real, cited frequency statistics. The rest say so.

Every fact in the library is flagged verified, secondary, or unverified and keeps its source link. Where the physics goes beyond the live engine’s tier, the card says that too. No dressed-up guesses.
