High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems HIPPS

Complete the conceptual design requirements for a SIL 3 High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) required to protect a main separator fed from multiple well heads from over pressuring. A simplified P ID for the installation is shown in Figure 13-22. [Pg.214]

To estimate the rate of DU-failures is a challenging task. First, DU-failures are rare events since the SIS is designed for high reliability. Second, there may be only a few components of the same type for observation. Whereas an installation may have more than 100 fire detectors, the number of certain valves, for example high integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) valves, may be limited to one or two.

A High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) is a particular type of SIS that prevents overpressure scenarios. It shuts off the source of high pressure before the safe upper limit is reached. It is a barrier between high- and low-... [Pg.314]

Heat Flux the rate of heat transfer per unit area normal to the direction of heat flow. It is the total heat transmitted by radiation, conduction, and convection HIPS an acronym for High Integrity Protective System. Is a set of components, such as sensors, logic solvers, and final control elements (e.g., valves), arranged for the purpose of reverting a process to a safe state when predetermined conditions are violated. Sometimes also referred to as HIPPS, High Integrity Pressure Protective System... [Pg.446]
