White Paper: Are your SIS Performance Assumptions Realistic? Let’s find out!
Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) design is based on performance requirements. During the design of the SIF, engineers make various assumptions, including assumptions concerning SIF equipment failure rates, SIF demand rates, proof test frequencies, and mission time which form the basis for the expected operational SIF performance. Are those assumptions realistic?…
Recorded Webinars: Mitigación del riesgo catastrófico: Elementos claves de un sistema de seguridad funcional eficaz en hornos de craqueo de Plantas de Olefinas
La seguridad funcional en una planta petroquímica es esencial para garantizar la operación segura de los procesos y minimizar accidentes catastróficos. Las instalaciones petroquímicas, como las plantas de olefinas, son emplazamientos industriales que transforman petróleo y gas natural en una amplia gama de productos como plásticos, detergentes, adhesivos, caucho y alimentos. Este proceso opera en condiciones extremas, donde se emplean procesos complejos para convertir materias primas en productos. Algunos de los riesgos asociados son incendios y explosiones, derrames químicos accidentales, corrosión y amenazas eléctricas. Este estudio analiza los aspectos clave que conforman un sistema de seguridad funcional eficaz en particular en hornos de craqueo térmico, de acuerdo con normas como IEC 61508 e IEC 61511. Los elementos más relevantes incluyen la identificación de las funciones instrumentadas de seguridad (SIF), la determinación del nivel de integridad de seguridad (SIL) y el diseño e implementación de sistemas instrumentados de seguridad (SIS). Además, se abordan la gestión del ciclo de vida de la seguridad, el análisis de riesgos, la validación funcional y los procedimientos periódicos de mantenimiento y pruebas.
Recorded Webinars: Mitigating Catastrophic Risk: Key Elements of an Effective Functional Safety System in Olefins Plants
Functional safety in an olefins plant is essential to ensure the safe operation of highly risky processes and minimize the likelihood of catastrophic accidents. This process operates under extreme conditions and high temperatures and employs complex processes to convert raw and intermediate materials into products. Potential consequences such as fire and explosion, inadvertent chemical spills, and electrical threats exemplify some risks associated. This webinar analyzes the key aspects that make up an effective functional safety system, in accordance with standards such as IEC 61508 and IEC 61511. The most relevant elements include the identification of safety instrumented functions (SIFs), the determination of the safety integrity level (SIL), and the design and implementation of safety instrumented systems (SIS). The integration of these elements not only reduces operational risks but also improves reliability, availability, and regulatory compliance at critical facilities.
