Course Description
Oil, gas and chemical field companies handle the most dangerous chemicals and processes across all industries. Catastrophic incidents and casualties are products of the failure to manage process safety
The international and US standards for Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs), International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 61511 and ISA 84, require that Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) be determined for Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) to meet tolerable risk criteria. The standards identify several methods that can be used for this purpose including Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA), risk graphs and risk matrices. This course explains how these methods can be used. A detailed procedure is provided for using LOPA for SIL determination.Course participants will have sight visit day to a company related to their job specification (Petrochemical company).
The concept of a Safety Instrumented Fire & Gas Systems (SI-FGS) has emerged in the process industry. Its arrival is has generated both controversy and confusion. The term SI2 of 13FGS represents the attempted application of perfo rmance based safety concepts to the design of Fire & Gas Detection Systems.
A Safety Instrumented Fire & Gas System (SI-FGS) is a system comprised of initiating device sensors, logic solvers, final control elements, fire safety functions and / or notification appliances for the purpose of mitigating an event when predetermined conditions are violated.
The Fire and Gas system (FGC) is designed to give the earliest possible warning and location of a fire in its initial stage, a flammable gas leakage or accumulation up to the lower explosive limit (LEL %) and any toxic gas likely to be present up to the occupational exposure limits (OEL).
