Part 5 of 6 - Implementation Phase - Safety Lifecycle Seminar - Emerson Excha...Mike Boudreaux
The document discusses various phases and considerations for implementing a Safety Instrumented System (SIS), including:
1. Design and engineering, which involves requirements definition, technology selection like sensors and logic solvers, and architecture selection.
2. Detailed design and build, covering instrument specifications, wiring, hardware/software development, and factory acceptance testing.
3. Installation, commissioning, and validation on site, with validation being a key step to ensure the safety system functions as intended.
The document discusses Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and the Safety Life Cycle as defined by ANSI/ISA 84.00.01-2004. It outlines the steps in the Safety Life Cycle from initial Hazard and Risk Assessment to determine Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) and required Safety Integrity Levels (SILs), to design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of SIS including functional proof testing. The Safety Life Cycle is meant to guide safety systems through all stages from initial assessment to eventual decommissioning to minimize risk in industrial processes.
This document summarizes a presentation on compliance with IEC 61508 for actuators. It discusses causes of valve failures, measures manufacturers take to exclude systematic errors, how valves are tested, designing and implementing automated testing, and numerical ratings. The presentation addresses questions about certification, failure rates, diagnostic coverage, useful lifetime, and achieving SIL levels. It emphasizes following the safety lifecycle to avoid systematic errors through activities like periodic inspection, examination during operation, and documentation of failures.
Safety is an important consideration in process design. Safety integrity level (or SIL) is often used to describe process safety requirements. However, there are often misconceptions or misunder- standings surrounding SIL. While the general subject, functional safety and SIL, can be highly technical, the general ideas can be distilled down to a few readily understandable concepts. In this paper, we will discuss what SIL is, why it is important, what certification means, and the implications and benefits of that certification to the end user.
The document discusses process safety and functional safety. It covers topics like hazard and risk assessments, safety instrumented systems (SIS), safety integrity levels (SIL), and the safety lifecycle described in standards like IEC 61511. The purpose of process safety management is to reduce the frequency and severity of chemical accidents by implementing layers of protection that can include inherently safer design, equipment reliability, formal safety assessments, operating procedures, training and emergency response. Functional safety focuses specifically on instrumented safety systems and ensuring safety instrumented functions are designed and maintained to a reliability suitable for their risk reduction purpose.

Safety instrumented systems angela summers Ahmed Gamal
This document discusses safety instrumented systems (SIS), which are designed to respond to hazardous conditions in industrial plants. An SIS monitors for conditions that could become hazardous and responds by taking actions to prevent or mitigate hazards. Examples provided include a furnace that shuts off fuel valves in response to high pressure and a reactor that opens a coolant valve when temperature rises too high. The document outlines standards for good engineering practices in designing, implementing, and maintaining SIS according to lifecycle phases from planning and design to operations and auditing. Key aspects covered are managing risks to people and procedures, assessing and mitigating risk through assigning safety integrity levels, and proving that SIS designs achieve the desired safety functionality.
The document discusses different voting logic architectures (1oo1, 1oo2, 2oo2, 2oo3) used in safety instrumented systems and how to determine the appropriate architecture based on Safety Integrity Level (SIL) requirements. It provides an example of selecting a voting logic architecture to meet a SIL 3 requirement for a high pressure pipeline. Based on calculations of Probability of Failure on Demand for different combinations, architectures with 1oo2 pressure transmitters and either 1oo2 or 2oo3 shutdown valves can meet the SIL 3 requirement.
The document discusses safety instrumentation and safety integrity levels (SILs). It provides examples of major industrial accidents from 1974 to 2005 and their causes. These include failures of safety systems and instrumentation. The document then discusses key aspects of safety instrumented systems (SIS) such as their hardware components, separation from process controls, definition, and role in risk reduction. It introduces SIL ratings from 1 to 4 which define the reliability of a SIS based on its risk reduction factor and probability of failure on demand.
The combustion process has always been considered having the potential for a hazardous event which could lead to personnel injury or loss of production. To mitigate this risk, the process industry is now implementing Safety Instrumented Systems which can identify hazardous operating conditions and correctly respond in such a way to bring the combustion process back to a safe operating condition or implement an automatically controlled shutdown sequence to reduce the risk of operator error causing a catastrophic event. Oxygen and combustible flue gas analyzers are now being utilized in these combustion Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) to identify hazardous operating conditions and automatically return the process to a safe state. The standards of IEC 61511 and API RP 556 will be reviewed as they apply to flue gas analyzers, as well as the process variables of the oxygen and combustible analyzer available for implementation into the SIS system for combustion monitoring, and the resultant actions required to return the process to a safe condition.

Safety-critical systems are computer systems whose failure could result in injury, death, or environmental damage. Examples include aircraft control systems, nuclear power plant controls, medical devices like pacemakers, and railway signaling systems. These systems require high integrity to avoid hazards and ensure safety. Techniques like developing diverse redundant systems can improve safety by detecting and tolerating a wider range of faults.
This document discusses Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and methods for determining risk reduction requirements. An SIS monitors industrial processes for dangerous conditions and executes actions to prevent or mitigate hazardous events. The document describes various methods to determine the necessary level of risk reduction for a given process, including risk graphs and Layer of Protection Analysis, both of which consider the consequences, frequency, possibility of avoidance, and probability of occurrence of an event. The determined risk reduction requirement is characterized by a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) on a scale of 1 to 4. An SIS provides risk reduction by successfully performing its safety functions, with its effectiveness measured by its probability of failure on demand (PFD).

- A power generation facility was looking for safer, more efficient ways to conduct preventative maintenance inspections on electrical equipment like switchgear. Regular inspections required hazardous work removing panel covers that was restrictive and costly.
- Infrared windows were proposed as an alternative to allow inspections without removing panel covers. This eliminated safety hazards and reduced costs by not requiring protective equipment or electricians to assist.
- The power plant installed infrared windows on 95 pieces of electrical equipment, allowing previously uninspectable areas to now be inspected safely. This reduced inspection costs from $45,484 per survey to just $33 with a one-person team and no panel removal required.

Welding Equipment Inspections and Maintenance in Australia.pdfWeldConnect
The maintenance of welding equipment is essential to preserving workplace integrity in the busy world of Australian workshops, where accuracy and safety are intertwined. Welding safety procedures require exacting attention to detail since they are the foundation of industrial artistry. Maintenance and inspections act as the first line of defence against potential risks. Ignoring these necessary chores not only erodes the legal requirements imposed by Australian Standards rules but also lowers the quality of the welds.
Amidst the whir of machinery and the glow of welding arcs, the hazards associated with neglected equipment loom large. From compromised welds endangering structural stability to the looming spectre of fires and explosions, the risks are undeniable. In the context of Australian safety regulations, adherence to weld and safety protocols isn’t just encouraged—it’s legally mandated. Regulatory bodies vigilantly oversee the maintenance and inspection of welding equipment to uphold stringent safety standards, placing a firm emphasis on compliance to mitigate accidents and safeguard the well-being of all workshop personnel. Therefore, recognising the paramount importance of welding equipment maintenance isn’t merely a matter of operational efficiency—it’s a steadfast commitment to ensuring the safety and integrity of Australian workplaces.

The document discusses current functional safety standards for machinery, specifically ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061. It notes that while both standards have similar basic requirements, there are differences in detail. It is intended that the standards will be combined into a single standard, ISO/IEC 17305. The presentation will explain techniques for complying with the current standards in preparation for the new single standard. It discusses key aspects of ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 such as performance levels, safety integrity levels, and requirements for realization and verification of safety functions. Checklists are also provided.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

12. 23/04/2015
Material traceability
• Maintaining absolute material identification, inventory and
traceability from incoming stock to finished delivered product and
documentation is a core strength of Endress+Hauser manufacturing.
• Material traceability and sometimes proof of traceability is required
by process plant engineering and construction operations to ensure
predictable containment integrity
Slide 12 Alain ENGELS
13. 23/04/2015
Positive Material Identification (PMI)
• Endress+Hauser uses PMI testing as a non-destructive method which does not
affect the material properties. It is not a substitute for a traceability certificate
• PMI testing is performed by emitting X-rays on the material to be tested, which
then responds by sending out XRF (X-ray fluorescence) signals of varying energy
and intensity depending on its chemical composition. The XRF signals are then
recorded by an XRF analyze
• Studies show that in Petrochemical and Refinery facilities almost half of the
largest losses are a direct result of failures in piping systems. PMI testing is
commonly used method to eliminate any material mixing errors
Slide 13 Alain ENGELS
14. 23/04/2015
Radiographic (RT) testing
• Endress+Hauser uses industrial radiography or
X-ray testing to inspect materials for hidden flaws
to reduce risk
• Reveals material defects (visible as well as hidden)
on metallic materials .
• Especially well suited for welding seam analysis
since even very small defects can be identified.
• Non-destructive as it does not affect the material
properties or leave any marks on the measured
surface.
• Report generated by qualified Endress+Hauser
personnel is included with the instrument
documentation when specified
Slide 14 Alain ENGELS
15. 23/04/2015
Dye penetration (DPI) testing
• Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI), also called Liquid Penetrant
Inspection (LPI) or Penetrant Testing (PT), is used by
Endress+Hauser to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous
materials
• LPI is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects such
as hairline cracks, surface porosity, leaks in new products, and
fatigue cracks on components
Slide 15 Alain ENGELS
16. 23/04/2015
Welding procedure qualification
• Welding seams on many Endress+Hauser products are produced by automatic
welding machines according to instrument specific WPQR/WPS (Welding
Procedure Qualification Record/Welding Procedure Specification) and
supervised/controlled by approved welding engineers.
• Frequent inspection of both welding machines and the resulting welding seams are
conducted to maintain the highest quality demands and regulatory requirements.
• Customers can fully rely on the welding seam quality of any Endress+Hauser
welded device
Slide 16 Alain ENGELS
17. 23/04/2015
Hydrostatic pressure testing
• Hydrostatic testing is a safer way to verify the integrity of a
manufactured instrumentation component that is designed for
pressure service.
• Many Endress+Hauser components are 100% tested while others are
tested to meet specific customer or industry requirements
Slide 17 Alain ENGELS
18. 23/04/2015
Helium leakage testing
• Leak testing is part of the
Endress+Hauser non-
destructive test NDT portfolio
that can be applied to a
fabricated component to verify
it is leak proof
• For example, Liquiphant
extensions are 100% Helium
tested to ensure component
welding is fully accomplished
and there are no leak points
