supplying all sub system, such as initiators, manifolds, logic solver cabinet, final elements, hydraulic pressure unit, etc.;

integrating all sub systems on a skid mounted solution with any ancillary equipment such as Well Head Choke Valves, Vent System, Drain System, etc.;

executing full engineering of HIPPS system and provide full documentation and certification set;

performing SIL calculation report of the Integrated System and submit it to Third Party Agency for SIL Certification;

supporting Customer during project execution, commissioning, start-up, periodic tests and maintenance activities during the entire life of the plant.

Our distinctive approachATV HIPPS team has a unique combination of skills that makes it a superior choice to address your plant needs:

• valve and actuation expertise

• system integration capabilities

• functional safety knowledge

ATV HIPPS is able to integrate any brand and supplier's sub system based on Customer preferences and experience.

ATV HIPPS is a sister company of ATV SpA. ATV HIPPS is a fully fledged system integrator providing SIS (Safety Integrated System) Solutions included but not limited to HIPPS.We design, manufacture, assemble, test and certify safety loop systems including IFAT (Integrated Functional Acceptance Test) performed in our own facilities. We provide startup, commissioning and Field services including system upgrades, safety assessment and SIL certification of new and existing installations.

VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS

Wide system integration capabilities. ATV HIPPS is able to develop system integrationdesign in tight collaboration with customers from very early engineering stage. System integration capabilities start from supplying single HIPPS components to fully integrated skid mounted solutions. Internal IFAT (Integrated Functional Acceptance Test) and SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of the whole HIPPS Safety Loop is a standard practice.

Strong valve technology expertise.The long time experience of ATV in the most demanding O&G Top side and Subsea applications, allows ATV HIPPS team to select the most suitable piece of equipment within a wide range of valves (Ball Valves, Gate Valves, Axial Valves). Notwithstanding that ATV HIPPS is a vendor independent system integrator. Hence Customer preference is paramount selection criteria.

Proven functional safety knowledge.ATV HIPPS team has a proven record of FunctionalSafety experience. Most of our engineers are TUV Functional Safety certified; they have multiple years of design engineering experience, and problem solving proven track record. The specific experience in electronic (programmable logic solver and solid state ones) and self actuating HIPPS is wide and deep.

OUR MISSION

HIPPS (High Integrity Pressure Protection System) is an indipendent SIS (Safety Instrumented System) designed to protect downstream lines and plant portion from overpressure events. It is normally used to replace partially or completely the flare and relief system as a result of an increased enviromental awareness.HIPPS is the ultimate and indipendent safety layer of a plant on prevention of dramatic event. The HIPPS system consists of at least three elements: initiators, logic solver and final elements. The main standards applicable to HIPPS are IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.

WHAT IS A HIPPS

The protection introduced by Hipps prevents overpressure and dramatic failure of the plant.Therefore, implementing a Hipps system in your plant it is a commitment to protect the enviroment, your asset and your people.

Traditional flare and relief sistems are responsible for enviromental pollution. Sustainability should not be limited to clean energy. Hipps allows to increase safety, therefore sustainability of Oil & Gas sites.Noise emissions are significantly reduced.

1. Increase safety 2. Protect the enviroment

HIPPS offers a significant Capex and Opex saving. This is true for new developments and existing installations. Main drivers are: weight and cost reduction for piping and vessels downstream HIPPS, and optimization of available space. In addition to that, a lower insurance premium is associated with the use of HIPPS.

3. Economic benefits

Introduction of HIPPS allows a full utilization of the plant potential, bringing technical performance to the edge. This is specifically true for full electronic HIPPS.

4. Enhance performance

WHY USING HIPPS

HIPPS can be installed in any part of the plant where a pipe spec break or protection is needed, therefore applications are related to Upstream, Midstream and Downstream. For instance:

HIPPS provides an advanced solution to protect equipment when:

UpstreamWell head controlFlare systemsLNG compression facilitiesGas Injection Compressor Facilities

MidstreamOil Pipelines pumping stationsGas Pipelines compression stationsFloating LNG Pressure let down stationsGas gathering and storage

DownstreamPropane circuit Refrigeration circuitsDistillation columnsAmine re-boilersRefineris

WHERE WHEN

economic viability needs improvement

enviromental and safety awareness are paramount

overall plant risk profile needs to be reduced

extremely high pressure and flow rates are involved

GENERAL INFORMATION ON HIPPS USING HIPPS

ARCHITECTURE

Actuated ON-OFF valves that isolate a portion of the plant/pipeline from over pressure propagation.ATV HIPPS is able to provide the most suitable valve selection based on customer specificatons and plant safety requirements.

3. FINAL ELEMENTS

HIPPS System Architecture is based on customer requirements in terms of performance and SIL (Safety Integrity Level), which are part of SRS (Safety Requirement Specifications). IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 international standards are intended to address the application in the process industries covering all aspects of design (risk assessment, conceptual design, detailed design, operation, maintenance and testing).

2. LOGIC SOLVER CABINET

It is typically an electronic hardware that continuously compare the process value coming from the initiators and perfom logic and diagnostic to operate the final elements when a demand occurs. Logic solver can be programmable or solid state depending on the maximum SIL target.

1. INITIATORS

The sensing elements are used to measure the line pressure. Several voting architectures can be applied. The most used voting logic are 2oo3 or 2oo4.
