D3 - FTA Calc Numbers Main Body

This document presents a fault tree analysis for a high temperature safety instrumented function (SIF). The fault tree shows the system can fail to shut off feed flow due to failures in the logic solver, valves failing to close, or temperature sensors failing to detect a high temperature. Component failure rates are provided and the average probability of failure on demand (PFDavg) is calculated as 6.48x10-3, resulting in a risk reduction factor (RRF) of 154, classifying it as SIL 2.
