10 October 2008

HIPPS solution for oil and gas industry
With some seventy years experience between them, Hima-Sella and Bel Valves have proven technology and tried and tested products, offering a complete ‘drop in’ safety solution that is flexible, reliable and most importantly, easy to install and commission. The complete HIPPS loop includes hardware - pressure transmitters, failsafe solid-state logic solver, hydraulically and pneumatically operated actuators and gate or ball valves. The scope can also include an independent SIL3 probability failure on demand report (PFoD) and fractional calculations (FTD), to confirm that the system fully meets Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) and the requirements of IEC 61508.
Compared to traditional emergency shutdown and process systems, a HIPPS can be designed to operate with a higher level of system integrity and being independently instrumented, offers the ultimate in system protection. It’s also an ideal asset protective solution where pressure relief devices are impractical and there are environmental constraints.
Sales Manager at Hima-Sella, Andy Tonge explained, “We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Bel Valves, enabling us to offer a more flexible and responsive approach to HIPPS solutions, backed up by our highly qualified and experienced engineering staff.”
