DESCRIPTION:
When even a single accident could be disastrous, the luxury of learning from experience no longer exists. Managers, sales professionals, technicians and engineers employed by end users, engineering firms, system integrators and consultants can all benefit from the material presented here. This book is ideal for instrumentation and control system engineers in the process industries who are responsible for designing safety shutdown systems. The author wrote this book because of the increased realization that today's engineering systems (and the computers used to control them) are capable of large-scale destruction. The book is a practical how-to text on the analysis, design, application and installation of safety shutdown systems. What is a Safety Shutdown? Risk-What Constitutes a Hazard Process Control vs Safety Control Protection Layers Economic Justification for a Safety System The Design Life Cycle: An Overview Developing the Functional Specifications Determining the Safety Integrity Levels Choosing a Technology Initial System Evaluation Issues related to Field Devises Engineering a System Installing a System Functional Testing of a System Managing Changes to a System.
Amazon Customer said Great book. Fully deserve the Raymond Molly Award !. This book should be on the shelve of every chemical engineer wanting to understand safety instrumented systems! The authors had successfully made a difficult subject easy to understand. No lengthy paragraphs. Everything is short, sharp and sweet, straight to the point. Their witty writing style and Gruhn's cartoons put the message across most vividly.. David De Sousa said An excellent Introductory Book on Safety Shutdown Systems.. This is truly an excellent introductory book on Safety Shutdown Systems, that will give you an overview on all the fundamentals, concepts, and specific aspects that need to be considered when designing an emergency shutdown system for a new facility or when evaluating an existing one. The text is written in aclear an readable way that make even easier to understand topics that often can be confusing. The style of the book reminds of the self-study guides published by ISA as the Independent Learning Modules (but this is not part of the ILM series).This b
