Design of Emergency Steam Load Shedding System Using Dynamic Simulation

Are you ready for Stuxnet 2.0? More at ISA's Safety & Security Symposium

exida certified the STA logic solver to meet functional safety requirements for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 capable per IEC 61508.

The Botlek Tank Terminal in Rotterdam uses Rotork electric valve actuators for automated flow control and safety-related duties for a variety of liquid bulk products.

Linear programs and real-time optimization need the prediction to violation of constraints inherent in MPC.

Do we need to include valve in SIL verification or can we limit up to the solenoid operated valve considering valve as a mechanical device.

This course on Safety Instrumented Systems is designed to make the learning experience comfortable and easy. Everything is explained in easy to understand terms, with plenty of graphics, interactive simulations and worked problems. Everything that you need to know about Safety Instrumented Systems, put together, in an easily digestible form, stripped of all the complexity, but still useful to impart skills to you that you can actually use in your work.

exida certified the Rosemount 3051S pressure transmitter with HART diagnostics as Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 capable per IEC 61508.

exida certified the Emerson DeltaV SIS process safety system as Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 capable per IEC 61508.

Components of the SIS include a PLC logic solver, ABB 2600T pressure transmitters, and pneumatically actuated ball valves.

exida certified the Det-Tronics X3301 IR Flame Detector per IEC61508 as Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 capable.

STA safety trip alarm for IEC 61508 Safety Applications is now a Logic Solver in exida’s exSILentia integrated safety lifecycle software.

The latest SIF release includes the SIF final Technical Specification package, SIF Interoperability Test Kit, and updated DD Library with SIF function blocks.

Held at the Shell Global Solutions technology center in Amsterdam, the SIF demo attracted process automation end users and equipment suppliers from around the world.

Field demonstrations of FOUNDATION for Safety Instrumented Functions wil be held at Shell, Amsterdam; Saudi Aramco; BP, Germany; and Chevron, Richmond, California.
