23、27Index 245XIIIPrefaceThis book describes a systematic method for selecting safety integrity lev-els (SILs) for safety instrumented systems (SIS). Although numerous methods have been proposed and adopted by industry, layer of protec-tion analysis (LOPA) is rapidly becoming the most frequently used m

24、ethod. Its popularity stems from its ease of use and the accuracy of the results it provides. This LOPA method, more than any other, accounts for most existing layers of protection. With this proper accounting, the SIS is neither overdesigned nor overpriced. The LOPA method ensures that users achiev

25、e the maximum return on their risk reduction investments.We wrote this book because we found that there is a need for a com-prehensive and authoritative discussion of the process of selecting SILs. The small amount of literature on the subject is scattered among various periodicals and symposia. Mor

26、eover, much of this material is of marginal quality, mainly focusing on qualitative methods.The result of using poor methods to select SILs is typically either an overdesigned or an underdesigned safety instrumented system. The risk analysis that forms the basis for SIL selection, however, can be gr

27、eatly improved. This will provide the user with more accurate results so for-merly inflated requirements can be relaxed, which will in turn lower not only the initial installation costs, but the cost of ongoing maintenance. Because of the high costs associated with poor selection methods, many pract

28、itioners are turning to more quantitative methods, one of which is layer of protection analysis. Thus, layer of protection analysis already boasts a strong and rapidly growing base of sophisticated users.In developing the tools and procedures that control systems engineers can use to select SILs, we

29、 found there was no need for new scientific the-ories or extensive laboratory research. Instead, these tools and proce-dures are directly derived from the specific application of general princi-ples of loss prevention engineering to SIS design. The key purpose of this book is to make this sometimes

30、obscure theory accessible to a wider audi-ence and to focus these principles on the task of SIL selection. We are indebted to the late Frank P. Lees for making this task manageable. His three-volume collection, Loss Prevention for the Process Industries (1992), contains a vast and vital storehouse o

31、f knowledge on the topic of loss prevention.Safety Integrity Level Selection: Systematic Methods Including Layer of Protection AnalysisXIVAbout this BookThe material for this book was developed from a series of training courses and seminars we have written and delivered over the past few years. The

32、Exida training course (which bears the same name as this book and is co-sponsored by ISA under the catalog number EX-01) and numerous related on-line courses provided a major source of material for this book and also provided an outline for organizing its contents.Much of the material in this book i

33、s based on the application of the safety life cycle as it is described in the international standards ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996-Application of Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry and IEC 61508/61511. This book expands upon the framework developed in these standards. In addition to describ

34、ing the tasks that users should perform during the safety life cycle, this book also provides detailed procedures for accomplishing these tasks. These procedures are based on risk analysis and reliability engineering principles from a variety of disciplines.This book is intended to demonstrate the a

35、pplication of quantitative risk analysis techniques and tools to the problem of selecting SILs. Its goal is to bring this topic down to earth and explain it in a clear and approachable way, distilling the essential theory into a format that the practicing control systems engineer can apply quickly a

36、nd effectively in everyday work. This book is not intended to be a generic theoretical dis-sertation, nor a comprehensive treatment of the topic of quantitative risk analysis. It presents a focused process for applying simple, yet powerful, tools of quantitative risk analysis specifically to the pro

37、blem of selecting SILs for safety instrumented systems.About the AuthorsEdward M. Marszal, P.E., C.F.S.E., and Dr. Eric W. Scharpf, MIPENZ, are principal engineers and partners in Exida, an engineering consulting firm that helps users and vendors of automation systems develop safety-criti-cal and hi

38、gh-availability automation solutions. At Exida, both authors are responsible for safety life cycle services for end users, including pro-cess hazards analysis, SIL selection and verification, and functional safety assessment of safety critical systems.Mr. Marszal started his career with UOP, a licen

39、sor of process units to the petroleum and petrochemical industries, where he performed functional assessments of control and safety instrumented systems at customer sites worldwide. At UOP, he designed and managed the devel-opment of custom control and SIS projects. After leaving UOP, he joined the

40、Environmental Resource Management companies in their Business Risk Solutions consulting group. In this position, he specialized in finan-PrefaceXVcial risk analysis and process safety management. He performed and managed risk assessment projects that involved quantitative risk analysis, including pr

41、eparing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Man-agement Plans with off-site consequence analysis for over one hundred facilities. Companies used his recommendations from these projects to ensure regulatory compliance, justify risk reduction expenditures, and optimize insurance coverage.Mr. Ma

42、rszal holds a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from Ohio State University and is a registered professional engineer in the states of Illinois and Ohio. He has developed and taught safety instru-mented system engineering courses for ISA, for whose local chapters in Columbus, Ohio, he holds

43、 several executive positions. He is also a mem-ber of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Mr. Marszal was among the first group of engineers to be awarded the status of Certified Functional Safety Expert (C.F.S.E.) by TV Product Services.Dr. Scharpf has worked as a process chemical enginee

44、r in the petro-leum and chemicals industries for both Mobil and Air Products and Chemicals in the United States and Europe. In these roles he has designed and developed several new processes and published numerous patents and papers on his work. He has focused much of his career on process optimizat

45、ion, new process design, safety and risk analysis in vari-ous segments of the chemical processing industry. This work has included hazard, risk, and consequence analysis as well as safety system work. Because of Dr. Scharpfs increasing responsibility level and per-sonal interest in the safety and ri

46、sk-related aspects of these systems and processes, in 2000 he joined Mr. Marszal in forming Exida to pursue this work more directly. At Exida, he now leads the consulting, training, and support for safety-critical and high-availability process automation in the Asia-Pacific region. In this role, he

47、has authored and reviewed numerous Exida safety training courses and related material focusing primarily on IEC 61508, 61511, and 62061 safety life cycle applications.Dr. Scharpf has a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering fro

48、m Princeton University. Dr. Scharpf is a registered engineer and member of the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand and is a member of the New Zealand Society for Risk Management. He also serves as a mem-ber of the Board of Directors of the Certified Functional Safety Expert Governance

49、Board. Dr. Scharpf is currently based near Dunedin, New Zealand, and teaches courses in safety, process engineering, and related subjects at the University of Otago in addition to his responsibilities at Exida.1CHAPTER 1Selecting Safety Integrity Levels: IntroductionThe purpose of a safety instrumented system (SIS) is to reduce the risk that a process may become hazardous to a tolerable level. The SIS does this by decreasing the frequency of unwanted accidents. The amount of risk reduction that an SIS can provide is represented by its safety integrity level (SIL), which is
