Inside VirtualPlant
When you enter VirtualPlant, you choose an industrial application and see a 3D rendering of a typical plant from an aerial perspective. By clicking on colored pins, you can zoom in to the unit level and then to the product level to see the pumps, valves, seals and support systems related to that area of the plant. To learn about product features and benefits, you can navigate through a variety of product literature, images, videos, manuals and training materials.
A variety of benefits
While VirtualPlant makes it easy to find relevant products and services by plant type or process area, the tool provides several benefits beyond product research.
- Simplify the RFP process — quickly confirm that Flowserve has expertise in the specific industry application and then identify products to focus on in your RFP.
- Find important product and safety information — access an ever-growing library of information including technical bulletins, safety data, instruction manuals, training materials and other supporting content.
- Support employee onboarding and training — by exploring the 3D models and related information, new employees can learn more about the pumps, valves and seals they will encounter in your plant’s various application areas.
