HYPERBARIC PLANT SIMULATION FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Several industrials sectors require to extend underwater capabilities by adopting alternative and multiple solutions both involving human divers as well as robotic technologies such as ROVs & AUVs. In general the main mandate is to improve performance reducing costs and risks. On the other side, new technologies and advancements are enabling to further develop the potential of the above mentioned solutions; for instance the authors propose a new generation of computer based Hyperbaric Plant Simulators that are pretty promising for improving training & education without rising costs of underwater man based operations. This paper proposes an innovative approach in M&S for the Hyperbaric Life Support Supervisors (LSS) as well as other operators active into diving activities.
