Fire and gas system

Should a Fire and Gas system that performs a mitigation function be classified as a Safety Instrumented System ... 

Although some consider fire and gas systems to be outside the scope of a safety instrumented system, many others classify these functions as safety instrumented functions. The criteria is based on needed risk reduction. When consequence or likelihood reduction is achieved by these functions and the risk reduction needed is greater than 10, ANSl/lSA-84.00.01 (lEC 61511 Mod) (Ref. 9) requires the hmction be classified as a SIR... 

Flame detectors designed for burner protection are quite different than flame detectors designed for fire and gas systems. Burner flame detectors monitor the flame inside a combustion chamber and look for lack of flame. The dangerous condition is loss of flame.

Functional safety of instrumentation, failure classes, reliability, safety function performance, calculations of probability of failure on demand (PFD). Special considerations for fire and gas systems. SIS for integrated system SIS vs SIL. 

As per ANSI/ISA 84 and lEC 61511, there shall be multi disciplinary approach which follows life cycle analysis PHA before implementing SIS. So, SIS implementation requires all above activities to be performed. However, fire and gas systems automatically initiate process action for mitigation and taking the system in to safe state to natural SIS. 

Safety Instrumentation Functions and System (Including Fire and Gas System)... 

For further details on safety fieldbus systems, which would play important role in both BPCS and SIS, Clause 2.0 of Chapter IX may be referenced. From a security point of view, a short discussion about separation and integration of BPCS and SIS has been covered in Chapter XI also. Now it is time to move to some specifics say of fire and gas system.

Major safety issues related to offshore ESD and process shutdown (PSD) systems need to maintain set points for process values to provide process precondition alarm, to indicate that the process is going out of range and malfunctions in the system might have set in. Fire and gas systems (FGSs) are designed to be self-contained. However, process interlocks such as partial closing of the ventilation fire damper are necessary. So, FGS needs to interface with process systems. 

The fire and gas system broke down, so it could not prevent the hydrocarbon ignition. 

The fire and gas system failed to detect the gas leakage, either because it failed or was overloaded. 

Generally, a more in-depth level of response is needed, including the use of voting systems. Table 11.5 is an example. It illustrates a sequence of responses to alarms from the fire and gas system.
