Simulators
This VR module trains oil, gas and process-plant workers to respond to gas leaks, including hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Trainees read gas detectors, move upwind, put on breathing apparatus and raise the alarm.
01 — Overview
A gas release gives workers seconds to react. They must read the detector, choose an escape route and protect their breathing at once.
Real drills cannot use real gas, so most workers only walk through the steps. Under stress, they may forget the order or head the wrong way.
A virtual reality gas leak simulator recreates the alarm, the wind and the pressure of a real release. Workers rehearse until the response becomes automatic.
02 — What's included
H2S is heavier than air and deadens the sense of smell at high concentrations.
Read personal and fixed detectors, and respond to each alarm level.
Use wind socks to choose a crosswind or upwind escape route.
Put on escape sets or breathing apparatus quickly and correctly.
03 — Key features
Hydrogen sulphide is toxic, heavier than air and collects in low areas. At higher concentrations it deadens the sense of smell.
The module shows how gas spreads with the wind and settles in pits. Trainees learn why they can't trust their nose to detect it.
Trainees respond to personal and fixed gas detectors at different alarm levels. Each level calls for a different action.
The module tests whether trainees stop work, warn others and leave the area at the right moment. Delays are recorded in the debrief.
Wind socks show wind direction across the site. Trainees move crosswind or upwind, away from the source and low areas.
Scenarios change wind direction between attempts. That stops trainees from memorising one route and makes them read the wind every time.
Trainees put on an escape set or breathing apparatus quickly and correctly. They then head to the muster point and report.
Rescue teams can rehearse approach and recovery with full breathing apparatus. Every step is logged for the debrief.
Trainees often run downwind, move into low areas or stop to investigate the leak. Some delay putting on breathing apparatus until symptoms begin.
Each mistake is shown with its risk and recorded for the debrief. Trainees repeat the scenario until their response is fast and correct.
Gas leak training pairs with the confined space module, since toxic gas collects in tanks, pits and low areas.
Response teams also take the emergency evacuation and PPE modules. Together they cover escape, muster and breathing apparatus use.
We build for standalone headsets such as Meta Quest 3, so no PC or cables are needed. Culenz can supply, set up and maintain the headset fleet for you.
Voice-over and on-screen text are produced in the languages your workforce uses, which we agree at scoping. Simple visual cues help workers who read little.
Every attempt is logged with the trainee's name, score, time and errors. Records export to your LMS through SCORM or xAPI, or as a spreadsheet for audits.
Many sites start the gas leak module as a pilot with one department or shift. That shows how workers respond before a full rollout.
A pilot also tests practical details, such as where headsets are stored and who runs sessions. Those answers shape the wider rollout plan.
At the end, we review results with your EHS team and agree the next steps. Most sites then add more modules or more headsets.
04 — Our process
A typical gas leak session takes ten to twenty minutes in a standalone VR headset. A short briefing comes first, then the virtual task, then a debrief with the trainer.
Sessions run in a training room, a site office or a corner of the shop floor. Each trainee needs only a clear area of about two by two metres.
Trainers can run several headsets at once and watch each trainee's view on a tablet. That keeps a group moving through the module in one shift.
We agree tasks, trainees, sites and success measures with your EHS or training leads.
Your experts approve every step, hazard and score before the build starts.
We build the module, test it on the headset and review it with your trainers.
One group or site trains first, and we review the results together.
Headsets, records and refresher content are rolled out across your sites, with maintenance.
05 — Planning your project
Pricing
Cost depends mainly on how much is custom. A library module with your branding costs less than one set in a full model of your site.
The number of scenarios, languages and headsets also matters. Annual support and content updates can be added as a separate maintenance plan.
We share an itemised quote after a short scoping call. Content, hardware and support are listed separately, so you see what each part costs.
06 — Why Culenz
Culenz is a virtual reality company with offices across India and Dubai. We build VR training for plants and sites in both markets.
One team scripts the gas leak module with your EHS team, then builds, installs and supports it. You deal with one contact from the first demo to the last refresher.
07 — FAQs
Hydrogen sulphide is toxic, heavier than air and collects in low areas. At higher concentrations it deadens the sense of smell, so workers can't rely on its rotten-egg odour. Standards such as ANSI/ASSP Z390.1 cover H2S safety training programmes.
Yes. We model your process units, wind socks, detectors and muster points from drawings and photos. Gas behaviour follows your plant layout, so trainees learn the routes and hazards of their own site.
Yes. Scenarios can include ammonia, chlorine, carbon monoxide or flammable hydrocarbon releases, depending on your process. We set detector readings and expected responses to match your site's own gas hazards and emergency procedures.
Oil and gas production, refineries, petrochemicals, fertiliser plants, wastewater treatment and mining. Any site with toxic or flammable gas hazards benefits, because real gas drills are impossible to stage safely.
