Study Notes

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)

  • SIS examples include Critical Control Systems, Safety Shutdown Systems, Instrument Protective Function (IPF), Equipment Protection Systems, and Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD)

International Standards for SIS

  • IEC 61508: applicable for manufacturers of devices used in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
  • IEC 61511: "Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector"
  • ISA 84.01-2004: identical to IEC 61511, "Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector"

Classification of SIS

  • SIS are classified according to their applicable Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
  • SIL is a measure of the performance of a Safety System under demand

Maintenance Strategies

Preventive Maintenance

  • Benefits: cost savings, operational continuity, extended lifecycle, optimized performance, energy cost savings, safety, and compliance
  • Example: conveyor belt maintenance in a manufacturing setting

Predictive Maintenance (RCM)

  • Measures the beginning of system degradation and predicts future functional capability
  • Uses real-time data to map out possible machine breakdowns and identify maintenance needs
  • Benefits: efficiency, cost reduction, minimized overhauls, and prevention of sudden failures

Reactive Maintenance

  • No preventive measures are taken to keep equipment operating as intended by its design
  • Maintenance is only done when equipment shows indications of failure
  • Advantages: cost-effective in the short term, reduction in upfront maintenance expenses
  • Disadvantages: increased downtime costs, higher labor costs, and overtime

Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF)

  • Can be implemented using several SIF depending on the safety requirement
  • Examples: pressure relief valve, pressure/vacuum valve, and rapture disc
