A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is engineered to perform “specific control functions” to failsafe or maintain safe operation of a process when unacceptable or dangerous conditions occur.

Understanding High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS)

S Bharadwaj ReddyAugust 21, 2019August 21, 2019

No chemical process facility is immune to the risk of over-pressure to avoid dictating the necessity for over-pressure protection. For every situation that demands safe containment of process gas, it...

Voting Logic in Safety Instrumented System (SIS)

S Bharadwaj ReddyMay 21, 2019July 26, 2019

There are 1oo1, 1oo2, 2oo2, 2oo3 etc voting logic in the safety instrumented system architecture. The voting logic architecture usually used in the field instrument and or final control elements to reach certain Safety Integrity...

Difference between SIS, PLC and BPCS Systems

S Bharadwaj ReddyFebruary 21, 2019September 3, 2019

Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is a measure of safety system performance – not a measure of process risk. The higher the level of risk, the greater the system performance required....

Why choose Intrinsic Safety ?

S Bharadwaj ReddyFebruary 21, 2019May 13, 2019

Intrinsic safety (IS) is a low-energy signalling technique that prevents explosions from occurring by ensuring that the energy transferred to a hazardous area is well below the energy required to initiate...
