Title: Lars Voigt and Spray-Drying Plant Operator Training

Introduction

Lars Voigt is an inventor associated with Søborg, Denmark. His patent work addresses operator training for spray-drying plants, using a transient model to simulate plant behavior and provide an interactive training environment.

Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Lars Voigt: Spray drying plant operator training system. The invention describes a method for training an operator using a transient model composed of sub-models for the plant’s pre-processing, spray-drying, post-processing, and powder-recovery elements, as well as its programmable logic controller (PLC).

A processing unit repeatedly calculates simulated sensor data from the model. A training human-machine interface (tHMI) displays that data and control information, communicates with the model, and lets the operator provide input. The model is then updated based on that input, allowing the operator to practice controlling the simulated plant.
