Safety Instrumented System (SIS): need, features, components, difference between basic process control system and SIS – Risk: how to measure risk, risk tolerance, Safety integrity level, safety instrumented functions – Standards and Regulation – HSE-PES, AICHE-CCPS, IEC-61508, ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004 (IEC 61511 Mod) & ANSI/ISA – 84.01-1996, NFPA 85, API RP 556, API RP 14C, OSHA (29 CFR 1910.119 – Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals – SIS design cycle – Process Control vs Safety Control.
Unit II
PROTECTION LAYERS AND SAFETY REQUIREMENT
SPECIFICATIONS
Prevention Layers: Process Plant Design, Process Control System, Alarm Systems, Procedures, Shutdown/Interlock/Instrumented Systems (Safety Instrumented Systems – SIS), Physical Protection – Mitigation Layers: Containment Systems, Scrubbers and Flares, Fire and Gas (F&G) Systems, Evacuation Procedures – Safety specification requirements as per standards, causes for deviation from the standards.
Unit III

Unit IV
SYSTEM EVALUATION
Failure Modes, Safe/Dangerous Failures, Detected/Undetected Failures, Metrics: Failure Rate, MTBF, and Life, Degree of Modeling Accuracy, Modeling Methods: Reliability Block Diagrams, Fault Trees, Markov Models – Consequence analysis: Characterization of potential events, dispersion, impacts, occupancy considerations, consequence analysis tools – Quantitative layer of protection analysis: multiple initiating events, estimating initiating event frequencies and IPL failure probabilities.
