Control Safety System

The document discusses different levels of shutdown systems for industrial processes: Level 1 is Unit Shutdown (USD) which shuts down individual processes or subsystems to prevent equipment damage. Level 2 is Process Shutdown (PSD) which shuts down all process systems. Level 3 is Emergency Shutdown (ESD) which shuts down processes during emergencies. Level 4 is Emergency Depressurize Shutdown (EDP) which shuts down, isolates, and depressurizes all equipment. Safety systems training covers Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), Total Plant Shutdown Systems (TPS), Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD), Process Shutdown Systems (PSD), and Unit

Control Safety System:

Industrial processes and plants increasingly experience concern about potential


incidents that can affect people, assets and the environment in and outside the plant. A
safety instrumented system (SIS) can dramatically reduce the risk of accidents in your
plant.

Level 1 Unit Shutdown (USD)

Unit Shutdown (USD) is the shutdown of individual process or utility system or


subsystem and intended to prevent equipment from operating outside process limits that
may cause damage to the equipment or adversely affect the process. USD can be
initiated automatically by various process sensors or manually through means of push
button on the panel or Human Machine Interface (HMI). A unit shutdown shall not
impair the operation of other system in the plant or platform. Shutdown of one vendor
package is also classified into this level of shutdown.

Level 2 Process Shutdown (PSD)

Process Shutdown (PSD) is shutdown of all process system. PSD is activated


automatically by various process sensors. PSD will shut down and isolate all related
process equipment or systems, to limit the probability of an abnormal operating
condition leading to an emergency situation.

Level 3 Emergency Shutdown (ESD)

Emergency Shutdown (ESD) is shutdown to minimize the consequences during


emergency. ESD can be automatically initiated by load shedding functions or manually
by the operator through push button on the panel. ESD will shutdown and isolate all
designated process related equipment, including inlet and outlet ESD valves. Depends
on each project some plant will allow the power generation, utilities, and fuel gas
system keep running during this condition.

Level 4 Emergency Depressurize Shutdown (EDP)

Emergency Depressurize Shutdown (EDP) will shutdown, isolate and depressurize all
equipments by opening the de-pressuring valves to flare. In this condition, main power
generation system will be shutdown and the emergency power generator will start. EDP
is manually activated by the operator through push button.

As mentioned before, the number of level shutdown in the hierarchy may differ among
each project. In some platform, there are other levels of shutdown i.e.total process
shutdown and abandon facility shutdown. On platform abandonment, all source of
electrical power will be totally isolated except DC battery system for the navigation
aids.
Safety Shutdown Systems
This course will provide the participants with the knowledge necessary to gain and
enhance their operational aptitude in the area of safety systems. It will cover the
operation and basic hardware of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), Total Plant
Shutdown Systems (TPS), Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD), Process Shutdown
Systems (PSD), and Unit Shutdown Systems (USD).

An introduction of the different systems, as well as the design philosophy of the SIS
will be provided. Differentiation between function of the control system versus the SIS
will be discussed, as well as the levels of protection with respect to the risks present.
Evaluating and functionally testing of an SIS will also be covered. Attendees will learn
how changes to the SIS must be managed to ensure reliability.

The purpose of this course will be to develop in participants a working knowledge of


various safety systems including an introduction to the TPS, ESD, PSD, and USD
systems. Permissives and interlocks are the basis of these systems and will be covered,
along with logic solvers, which are an important part of shutdown systems.

Day 1

SIS

o Introduction to SIS
o Design life cycle
o Process control vs safety control
o Protection layers
o Safety integrity levels

Participants will learn how the SIS provides protection, as a whole, to the plant
in the event of an uncontrollable situation. Hindsight, as well as foresight, must
be employed in the design of the SIS system. The process control system must
be separate from the SIS. On the first day, attendees will learn about the SIS
and how it is divided into various levels to ensure the safe operation of the
plant.

Day 2

SIS, TPS, ESD, PSD, and USD

o Introduction to TPS, ESD, PSD, and USD


o Permissives and interlocks
o High reliability logic solver
On day two, discussions of the SIS will continue and expand to topics of
evaluating risk, initial system evaluation, functional testing, managing
changesm, and determining system reliability. Participants will be made aware
of the important step in designing the SIS system, which is to establish the risks
involved in operating the plant. Procedures must be in place to continually
evaluate, manage changes, and assess the reliability of the SIS. Participants will
be exposed to how SIS can be divided into the TPS, ESD, PSD, and USD
systems, as well as how these systems rely on the appropriate hardware and
software to maintain reliably.

Day 3

TPS, ESD, PSD, and USD

o Failure modes
o Alarms
o Redundancy (TMR)
o Resetting testing and bypassing
o Documentation and cause and effect drawings

On day three, the participants will become familiar with the characteristics of
typical TPS, ESD, PSD, and USD systems. Standards in alarm systems will be
covered and the use of redundancy will be demonstrated to ensure shutdown
system reliability. The importance of resetting, testing, and bypassing
procedures will be identified. The use of cause and effect drawings will be
demonstrated to show participants how the shutdown systems will operate in a
facility specific application.
