Blending & Mixing Operations - Training Guide
============================================================

MINIMUM RESOLUTION: 980 x 600 px
RECOMMENDED: 1920 x 1080 (16:9) or larger

SIMULATOR OVERVIEW
----------------------------------------
Blending and mixing simulator covering ratio control, in-line blending, batch mixing, and product quality verification per API MPMS and ISA-88.

Standards: API MPMS Ch.12 · ISA-88 · ISO 8217

INTERFACE LAYOUT
----------------------------------------
- LEFT PANEL: System controls (Start/Stop/ESD/Reset, Mode toggle)
- CENTER: P&ID schematic with real-time process visualization
- RIGHT PANEL: System gauges, operational checklist, alarm list

OPERATING PROCEDURES
----------------------------------------
  Step 1: Verify component tank levels
  Step 2: Set target blend ratio
  Step 3: Start component A flow
  Step 4: Start component B flow
  Step 5: Verify ratio controller tracking
  Step 6: Start mixer (if batch mode)
  Step 7: Sample product for analysis
  Step 8: Certify product to specification

SCENARIOS
----------------------------------------

  In-Line Blending:
  Perform continuous in-line blending of two components to target spec.

  Batch Mixing:
  Execute batch mixing — charge, mix, sample, and certify product.

  Recirculation & Certification:
  Recirculate blended product through analyzer and certify to spec.

ALARM RESPONSE
----------------------------------------
  RATIO_DEV [WARNING]: Blend ratio deviation >2%
  OFF_SPEC [ALARM]: Product off specification
  MIXER_OVERLOAD [WARNING]: Mixer motor overload
  TANK_HIGH [WARNING]: Product tank level high
  ANALYZER_FAIL [ALARM]: Online analyzer failure
