Presenter: Mike Scott

The presentation focuses how to apply Safety Instrumented System (SIS) design requirements through adoption of the Safety Lifecycle to Burner Management Systems (BMS). We will go over sample risk analysis, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) selection, and SIL verification problems to demonstrate the issues. Is a Burner Management System a Safety Instrumented System? The how, the when, the where and the why.

This presentation consists of the following main topics and subtopics:

• Industry update – NFPA 85, NFPA 86, API 556, BLRBAC, FM 7605
• Identifying BMS Safety Functions
• Risk Analysis - Risk Ranking Methods (Risk Graph, Risk Matrix, LOPA, etc.)
• SIL Selection
• BMS Design Considerations
• Applying Economic principals to system design (Lifecycle Cost Analysis & Benefit / Cost Ratio Analysis)
• Transmitters versus switches
• Logic Solver

Presenter: Mike Scott

This presentation will provide an overview regarding the application and design of Safety Instrumented Systems per ANSI/ISA S84.00.01, IEC61511 and IEC61508. This will include an overview of the Safety Lifecycle and some of its key fundamental requirements including the following:

This presentation consists of the following main topics and subtopics:

• Safety Function Identification
• Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
• Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Determination
• Development of Safety System Requirements
• SIS Conceptual and Detailed Design Requirements
• Development of SIS Software Functional Specification
• SIS Configuration & Testing Requirements
• SIS Validation and Final SIL Evaluation

Basic Process Control Systems (BPCS) keep the plant running while Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) monitor the plant for conditions that necessitate a shutdown. SafetyNet is such a SIS system.

SafetyNet meets the safety needs of today's Emergency Shut Down, Fire & Gas, and Burner Management applications. Certified as suitable for use in SIL 2 safety functions by TUV Rheinland, SafetyNet incorporates the latest design techniques to achieve compliance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.

Given that SIL 2 satisfies the needs of over 90% of the safety functions in use today, attend this seminar to learn how the SafetyNet SIS will cost effectively meet your safety system needs.

As fuel costs rise, so does the cost of boiler operation. Better control can provide ROI within a year. Rick Davis, Vice President of Process Control will present a low-cost boiler control system for the industrial boiler market. The system uses industry leading open components to provide the functionality of a DCS at the price of a PLC.

 

Rick will demonstrate the economic justification of applying advanced control to a boiler, showing how a fuel savings of 5% can justify the investment in improved control.

The safety lifecycle can be segmented into three phases; Analysis, Design and Implementation. Each phase addresses specific issues important to achieving a high level of functional safety. By gaining a better understanding of each phase you will be able to more effectively and efficiently implement high quality safety systems.

In this seminar we will look at the Implementation Phase. The Implementation Phase addresses the activities starting with the operational procedures and following through to the decommissioning of the safety instrumented system. Areas addressed in the Implementation Phase include:

• Operation
• Maintenance
• Modification
• Decommissioning

If you are involved with functional safety, you should attend this seminar to learn about the key steps and requirements of the Implementation Phase.

By gaining a better understanding of each phase you will be able to more effectively and efficiently implement high quality safety systems.

In this seminar we will look at the Design Phase. The Design Phase addresses the activities starting with the conceptual design of the safety instrumented system through the validation of the completed system. Areas addressed in the Design Phase include:

• Conceptual Safety Instrumented System Design
• Selection of System Technology, Architecture and Test Philosophy
• Design of Non Safety System Risk Reduction
• Installation
• Commissioning
• Validation

If you are involved with functional safety, you should attend this seminar to learn about the key steps and requirements of the Design Phase.

In recent years both the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards have been adopted and are rapidly gaining momentum. These standards address both equipment design and system implementation and have broad implications on Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).

By gaining a better understanding of each phase you will be able to more effectively and efficiently implement high quality safety systems.

In this seminar we will look at the Analysis Phase. The Analysis Phase addresses the activities starting with risk analysis of the process through creation of the safety requirement specification. Areas addresses in the Analysis Phase include:

• Risk Analysis
• Protective Layer Design
• Allocation of Safety Functions to Safety Instrumented System
• Allocation of Safety Functions to Other Risk Reduction Mean

In recent years both the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards have been adopted and are rapidly gaining momentum. These standards address both equipment design and system implementation and have broad implications on Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). This seminar will give attendees an understanding of when and how to apply the standards and introduce them to the Safety Lifecycle, a detailed process for the analysis, design and implementation of SIS's. Benefits of attending the seminar include:

• Understanding the applicability, contents, and benefits of using IEC 61508 and IEC 61511
• Understanding the Safety Lifecycle
