Preliminary Program subject to change
T3000 Safety Instrumented Systems and Safety Critical Devices
OverviewThe proper application of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) is obviously important for process plants. However, non-SIS Safety Critical Systems (e.g., Safety Critical Devices) also play an important role. This session invites papers in the areas of:· Safety Instrumented Systems - SIS design, SIL level determination, identification of IPLs, probability calculations, application of LOPA to SIS, etc.· Safety Critical Devices (SCDs) - Examples, opportunities to apply SCDs instead of SIS, management of SCDs, application of LOPA to SCDs, etc.
