Hazard & Risk Assessment

Hazardous Event Describe the hazardous event for which the SIF is needed. This can be from a
Process Hazard Analysis like HAZOP and LOPA.

Safe state of process Describe the safe state of the process.

Expected demand rate How often will the scenario develop if there are no safeguards present.

Process details
Process Safety Time
Assumptions/Calculations Define the period of time between a failure occurring in the system and the
occurrence of the hazardous event if the safety function is not performed.

Allowable leak rate of valves

Assumptions/Calculations Define the maximum flow that can leak by a valve used as the final element
in a scenario without exceeding a threshold consequence criteria.

Other requirements Describe other relevant requirements.

Application Program requirements Describe how the Application Program should look like. For example by use
of logic diagrams or control narratives.

Safety Requirement Specification

SIF identification & references

SIF name/number SIF-100 - Overfill protection
Document date 1/4/2022
Revision 1
SIF description On high level in reactor R-100, measured with LT-100, LT-200 and LT-300
the feed supply should be stopped by closing V-100 and V-200 and stop
pump P-100.

P&ID Reference PID-100, rev. A (03/01/2022)

H&RA reference HAZOP Reactor R-100, rev. A (09/07/2021)
Other References LOPA scenario R-100, rev. B (15/10/2021)

Hazard & Risk Assessment

Hazardous Event Feed supply control loop (CV-100 with FT-100) fails open during filling of the
reactor. Reactor will overfill via overfill line, causing potential health issues
to personnel.

Safe state of process Level below 90% in the reactor.

Expected demand rate Less than once every 10 years

Process details
Process Safety Time 6 minutes
Assumptions/Calculations At setpoint of 95%, the free space is 2m3. Normal feed flow is 20 m3/h. This
gives 6 minutes of time before the reactor will overfill. (2m3 / 20m3/h = 6
minutes)

Allowable leak rate of valves 1,3 litre / hour

Assumptions/Calculations At setpoint of 95%, the free space is 2m3. It is assumed that operations will
act within 24 hours after 95% is reached. 2m3/24h = 83L/h = 1,3 L/min

Other requirements Valve should close in >8 seconds in order to prevent water hammer.

SIF specification
Required SIL SIL 2
Required Risk Reduction or PFD 200
Mode of operation Low demand
Fouling / plugging / tracing req. Clean medium, no fouling or plugging expected. Impulse lines should be
traced due to winterization.
Trip setpoint 95%
Energize / de-energize to trip De-energize to trip
Manual shutdown required Yes
Reset SIF after activation Yes
SIS lifetime 20 years
Operational (Start-up) overrides Override SIS during cleaning

Safety Requirement Specification Page 7 of 10 07/13/2022

Maintenance bypasses/overrides Sensors should be able to be bypassed during maintenance, e.g. sensor
calibration.
Application Program requirements See functional logics diagram in attached document SIF-100 AP
requirements.
Operator interface On SIS activation, the alarm should be visible and audible on Alarm Panel
AP-10 and via DCS.
