In this paper a virtual reality solution is developed to emulate the environment and the operations of the pitching and receiving traps of pipe scrapers (PIG), with the aim of reinforcing the training of operators in oil camps. To develop this, the information was collected on various pitching and receiving traps of the real pipeline operating companies in the country, thus defining the basic and specific parameters for the virtual recreation of a typical trap model. The 3d models obtains from PI and make available a base to simulate another complex process.

The present paper shows the development of a virtual reality application through the creation of environments that allows supervision, monitoring and control of industrial processes. It has the possibility to simulate or work with live-time information, linked to existing process modules of the most important physics variables such as level, pressure, flow and temperature. The results of the application are presented to validate the project, using the functions of supervision, monitoring and control, the scopes reached in emulation, as well as the contrast between the emulation option and real interplaying with industrial processes.
