Hazardous location protection methods e book by pepperl+ fuchsKristen_Barbour_PF
Hazardous Location Protection Methods Explained.
By definition, a hazardous (classified) location is an area in an industrial complex where the atmosphere contains flammable concentrations of gases or vapors by leakage, or ignitable concentrations of dust or fibers by suspension or dispersion.
The treatment of dangerous substances, where the risk of explosion or fire exists that can be caused by an electrical spark, arc, or hot temperatures, requires specifically defined instrumentation located in a hazardous location. It also requires that interfacing signals coming from a hazardous location be unable to create the necessary conditions to ignite and propagate an explosion.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Hazardous Area Failure Case Study
On October 23 2009 Massive explosion at Caribbean Petroleum (CAPECO)
Gasoline Storage area
Gasoline Storage operation done without a Level Transmitter. Thus required Manual Operation and Manual
Checking for predicting tank Level
Error in Predicting the Level of the tank thus The Gasoline Overflow and come out of the storage tank
Gasoline Vapor Covered area of 104 Acre and the atmosphere is windless (Low Ventilation)
Gasoline Liquid Drained from the Containment tank to the waste water area and reached Electrical Equipment
Electrical Equipment Ignited the area.
The Accident Cause the Death of 2 Employee and 1 was Critically Injured.
3. 3
??
And Who are
Responsible ??
1. Poor Ventilation (Natural Cause)
2. Improper Instrumentation
3. Poor Process Design to flow the containment liquid to Waste water area
4. Waste water area’s Hazardous area Classification.
1. Since Waste water has the Low or negligible source of Flammable material. The area is
classified for the Zone 2.
2. The Corresponding Instrumentation and Electrical Equipment is designed for the Zone 2
3. Process Safety Calculation Mistake.
4. 4

5. 5
Explosion Group
The explosive characteristics of the air mixtures of gases, vapors, or dusts
vary with the specific material involved.
Group I: Electrical apparatus for mines susceptible to firedamp (for use
underground).
Group II: Electrical apparatus for places with a potentially explosive
atmosphere other than mines susceptible to firedamp.
Group III: Electrical apparatus for places with a potentially explosive
atmosphere other than mines susceptible to firedamp. For Dust.
6. 6
Grouping and Classification of Area
Grouping is based on
• maximum experimental safe gap (MESG)
• minimum igniting current (MIC) ratio
Groups for Gases are IIA, IIB, IIC
Gas Groups Chemical/Component MESG MIC Ratio
IIC Acetylene, Hydrogen, Flammable Liquid produced Vapor, Flammable Gas,
Combustible Liquid Produced Vapor
<0.5 mm < 0.45
IIB acetaldehyde, ethylene, Flammable Liquid produced Vapor, Flammable Gas,
Combustible Liquid Produced Vapor
>0.5
<0.9
>0.45
<0.8
IIA acetone, ammonia, ethyl alcohol,
gasoline, methane, propane, or fammable gas, fammable liquid-produced
vapor, or combustible liquid-produced vapor
>0.9 >0.8
7. 7
Temperature Classification
Minimum temperature required to cause the fire without spark or flame to set a
fire.
T1 - 4500C
T2 - 3000C
T3 - 2000C
T4 - 1350C
T5 - 1000C
T6 – 850C
• For intrinsically safe it is inside temperature whereas for flame proof it is outside
temperature.

What is Hazardous Area Classification ??
Area classification is a method of analyzing and classifying the
environment. where explosive gas atmosphere may occur to allow the
proper selection of electrical apparatus to be installed in that environment.
Objective - The object of the classification procedure is to enable electrical
apparatus to be operated safely in that environment.
10. 1 0
In Situations When Explosive Gas are
Present
Eliminate the likelihood of an explosive gas atmosphere occurring around the source of ignition
or eliminate the source of ignition
► Raising the flash point by substitution for e.g Adding Water
► Lower process temperature by cooling (water spray jet)
► Limiting concentration below LEL by Proper Ventilation
Limit the range of explosion fames and explosion pressures to a sufficient level of safety.
► Explosion Proof Design Containment.
In practice however, it is very difficult to ensure that an
explosive gas atmosphere will never occur. In this case,
apparatus with special protective measures should be used.
And for proper
selection we need
area classification
11. 11
Explosion Protection Avoiding fammable substances (replacement technologies) or by inerting
with N2
This is done by proper venting or removing one component from the fire
Triangle.
For e.g
1. Avoiding Hot Surface
2. Avoiding Static Electricity
3. Lightining etc
provision such that the fire or explosion occurred is not transferred to
the bulk system. For E.G
1. Explosion pressure resistant construction.
12. 1 2
Hazardous area Defined by
1. The type of hazard (groups).
2. The AIT of the hazardous material (temperature or T rating).
3. The likelihood of the hazard being present in flammable
concentrations(zones/ Class and Division)
Type of Hazard
Group I, II, III and its subdivision.
NFPA Publication 70, National Electrical Code (NEC) defnes the type of
hazardous substance
Class and Division – Followed in North America
Zones – Followed in the Rest of the World
13. 1 3
What are Classes, Division and Zones
Class I – Flammable Gases and Vapor may present.
Class II – Location in which combustible dust may be present.
Class II – Location in which Ignitable fibre may be present.
► Division Defines the probability of the hazardous materials being able to produce the hazardous
mixture
► Division 1 – The mixture has the high probability of forming the explosive atmosphere at normal
operating conditions.
► Division 2 – The Mixture has low probability of forming the explosive mixture at normal operating
conditions.
Zone 0, 1, 2 – Zones where hazardous vapor and Gas will be present
Zone 20, 21, 22 – Zones where hazardous dust or fibers will be present.
15. 1 5
Sources of Release
Identify the Source of Release
Process Item such as Tank, Pump, Pipeline, Vessels etc are the source of
release
Welded pipeline are not considered as the source of release.
16. 1 6
Next Important thing is the Grade of
Release
The Release is Continuous, Primary or Secondary
Grade should be estimated based on operating conditions (T and P) at Normal or Abnormal
situations.
Continuous – A Release that is expected to occur for longer period of the time
For E.g Surface of a flammable liquid in a fixed roof tank
Surface of an open reservoir (e.g., oil/water separator)
Primary – A Release that occur Periodically or Occasionally during normal operation
Seal of Pump, Compressor, Valves, Water draining point, Sample Collecting Point, Relief Valve, Vent during normal operation. Also
changing filter cloth.
Secondary – A Release that occur infrequently or if it occur the duration is low
Seal of Pump, Compressor, Valves, Water draining point, Sample Collecting Point, Relief Valve, Vent during abnormal condition
17. 1 7
Extent of Zone
Extent of Zone Depend on the following factor
• Release Velocity or Release Rate
• Concentration of flammable gas in the released mixture
• Ventilation
• Obstacles
• Boiling Point of the flammable liquid
• LEL
• Flash Point
• Relative Density
• Liquid Temperature
19. 1 9
Why Ventilation effect the Zone type and
Zone Extent ?
Ventilation Promote Dispersion thus Hazardous material fall below LEL.
Availability of Ventilation
► Good – Ventilation is present continuously (Wind speed 0.5 m/s)
► Fair – Ventilation that occur during normal operation and interruption is permissible
► Poor – Ventilation that did not meet standard and interruption is not expected.
Ventilation Degree
► High Ventilation – Reduce the Source of release below LEL Instantaneously.
► Medium Ventilation – Ventilation that provide stable Zone Extent once the Hazard Release and
reduce concentration below LEL when Release is stopped.
► Low Ventilation – Cannot control the concentration when release is in progress
20. 2 0
Who are responsible for Area Classification
??
Process Engineer (Process Safety Engineer )
For Extent of Zones, Type of Zones and Hazard Group
Electrical Engineer and Instrumentation Engineer
Proper selection of instrument or electrical Equipment based on Zone selected.
21. 2 1
What effects ??
Locations of Vessels or potential release point location may change
Guide the location of Flare, LPG connection etc.
Location of Motors or other electrical and Electronic instrument changes. Thus
effect the cost of wiring and Electrical Tray.
Type of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Changes. This add the cost
variations.
Defines the number of Fire and Gas Detectors, type and Locations
Defines the type and safety requirements of Fire water.
Safety and Operational Manuals and Procedures.
22. 2 2
Process Engineer Responsibility
Plant and Installation at which hazardous material being handled such a
way that Zone 0 and Zone 1 are kept to minimum and mainly area should
be Zone 2
Try mostly to make the secondary source of release. If primary source is
unavoidable than try to minimize the quantum of release
Process Equipment relocation is needed to fit the requirements. Most Area
classifications are generated in the FEED stage itself.
23. 2 3
Electrical and Instrument Engineer
Responsibility
Engineers work on the principle that Hazard as defined by the Process is
always present
Select the Equipment to avoid the Explosion or Fire Hazard
Choose Explosion Proof Housing when Process is not critical.
Choose Intrinsically safe or Increased Protection When the Process is SIL
Critical.
25. 2 5
Instrument for Different Zones.
Equipment Protection Level
► The EPL is a level of protection assigned to equipment based on its likelihood of becoming a source of ignition
EPL Ga – Equipment with Very high level of protection that is not the source of ignition during normal operation
EPL Gb - Equipment with high level of protection that is not the source of ignition during normal operation
EPL Gc - Equipment for explosive gas atmospheres having an enhanced level of protection that is not a source of ignition in
normal operation
Zone 0 Category 1
Zone 1 Category 2
Zone 2 Category 3
