Gas and special detection

The reliability is important for the entire system and not only single components.“

— IEC61508 applied to F&G detection systems

The historical safety record for the Petrochemical, Oil and Gas industry is strong. Engineering, installation

and lifetime use takes into account the well known hazards of such an installation. Different levels of pro-

tection ensure that potential hazards are discovered and eliminated before they become a major risk to the

installation premises and the people working there.

A SIL2 CERTIFIED SOLUTION

Gas leaks is a major concern in most oil and gas related applica-tions. As an example, if we look at LNG, in its original form this is a liquid, however it will quickly turn into a vaporized gas upon entering the atmosphere. Potential ignition sources may quickly create a dangerous situation, and thus our goal is to discover any atmospheric presence of gas as early as possible. This is why the detection system becomes an early as well as important barrier to protect an Oil and Gas installation. Detecting potential risks and taking necessary precautions to eliminate or prevent them from escalating is the main objective of the safety system. Several fac-tors need to be examined in order to make sure that we have a trustworthy system.

Typical detection solution There are two key factors when considering an F&G detection system: Availability and Reliability. The first is rather self-ex-planatory – it is important that the detection system (and its functions) is available when needed. The latter is no less impor-tant – that is why we can rely on the system to perform when needed. The first step to ensure we can trust our system is to look at the chain of devices necessary to detect and take appro-priate action. A very simplified drawing showing a typical safety system for detection is shown below.

By Geir Solem, Global Key Account Manager

Distributed control system (DCS)

F&G detector (initiating device)

Detection system Output (action)

Output (action)

Every scenario (fire sparks, a gas leak, etc.) can be reported by a detector. The detector is the system’s initiating device, and its performance is crucial to ensure early and reliable detec-tion. We want to detect the incident as early as possible, and at the same time avoid detection and reporting of unwanted or nuisance alarms. Different detectors have different proper-ties, particularly when it comes to performance. Comparing datasheets may cause detectors which perform very different to look almost the same.

When consulting manufacturers and suppliers of fire and gas equipment, a good rule of thumb is to always ask for what test-ing has been done according to performance standards (e.g. FM3260 for flame detection). This will point out the differences when it comes to the performance of a specific device. It is of course important that the equipment has the right ingress pro-tection and can withstand necessary environmental condi-tions, but after all it is the performance of the device that deter-mines whether it will properly detect an incident or not.

The detector will report a detected incident to the detection sys-tem. By this, the communication becomes important (type of medium, robustness to EMC and environmental conditions, etc.) to avoid loss or delay in the communication channel. That is also a driving factor to try and utilize a loop or another form of redun-dancy for the communication between the detector and the sys-tem. In a loop, short-circuit isolators will ensure that any detector or cable faults will keep all devices properly communicating with the system.

The purpose of the detection system itself is also to ensure that any appropriate actions are taken. In an integrated fire and gas detection system, the logic is normally kept in the same system and actions are taken care of by activating outputs to differ-ent devices (activating beacons/sounders, closing ventilation/dampers etc.). An alternative configuration is as shown in the figure below; the detection system passes the alarm on to a Distributed Control System (DCS) which will take care of the needed actions. For the last solution, it is important to highlight the need for a secure communication channel between the two systems. Very often the project will also require redundancy for this type of communication.

Safety and IEC61508So how do we consider a communication channel or a detec-tion loop to be safe or not? In installations like an LNG plant,

a hazard and operability study (HAZOP) is normally done to identify and evaluate potential problems that may be a risk to people or equipment. This will help us determine what kind of equipment is required to protect the installation; however F&G equipment have different safety ratings that need to be exam-ined as well.

The reliability is important for the entire system and not only single components. A good standard for consideration of sys-tem availability and reliability is IEC 61508: Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems. This standard defines what is called “Safety Integrity Level” (SIL), an assessment of reliability, failure to safety (how safe the system is) and management/life cycle considerations. The SIL tells us something about the probability of a failure on demand, i.e. how likely is it that the system functions as intended the day we actually need it? It can work 10 out of 10 times when tested, but that does not matter if it fails the next time it is supposed to detect a real hazard.

Since we are talking about an entire system with dependencies, it is important that the entire system is evaluated according to this standard, and not only single components one by one. The entire system, from detection by one of the initiating devices to action by one of the outputs, should fulfil the requested level of safety (normally SIL2 is required for an F&G detection system). Combining single components does not necessarily give us the same rating (even if they are rated SIL2 individually). To make sure we can maintain all aspects of IEC 61508, a Safety Analysis Report (SAR) is often done during the project. In order to sim-plify this and ensure you will maintain the required safety level, you should ask the suppliers to prove compliance of the entire system according to all parts of IEC61508.

F&G detection systems can be realized in different ways; most importantly, we need to consider the safety aspect of the solu-tion. In order to properly accomplish this, we should examine the entire system with all intended functions (e.g. detection from a smoke detector through all communication pathways including the activation of an output module). Only by doing this, can we say something about how safe our system is, and if we are able to maintain the needed safety rating for the system. After all, it is the system performance on that day we need our system to perform 100 percent that becomes critical.

Typical AutroSafe IFG setup

What is SIL?SIL is short for Safety Integrity Level, followed by a number 1 to 4. It is a measure of functional safety for a given protective function, typically describing the level of safety protection needed for a specific function or process. SIL will give the reliability needed for the safety system. SIL1 is the lowest degree of protection, SIL4 is the highest. The target for a F&G detection system is typically SIL2.  The goal is to know that a function will perform when needed, and if not, fail in a safe manner.

A product claimed to be “SIL” rated or certified really depends on its use in a specific function. By this it is incorrect to refer to a certain SIL rating for an individual component as long as SIL applies to the complete function.

When it comes to reliability SIL only counts for reliability of the system to perform its safety function. In modes considered to be less dangerous the system may fail more frequently.

AutroSafe Integrated Fire and Gas (IFG) 4 provides the highest degree of security yet by combining safety,

reliability and availability.

FROM SAFE TO DUAL SAFETY

The Dual Safety technology from Autronica Fire and Security enables redundant control of the loop. If, by any reason, the pri-mary loop control fails, the secondary loop control will take over, and fire detection is thus maintained. Redundancy is achieved without introducing two sets of detection loops and thus avoid-ing twice the amount of cabling and detectors.

At the basic level, the sensor units are connected in two-wired loops. Consequently, in case of a single broken or shorted loop, connection with all units is maintained. But what if we have two breaks or shorts?

In a Dual Safety system it is possible to connect the loops to two different panels to secure that the isolated part of the loop con-nects to a “backup panel”. The key to this is the use of Autronica’s AutroKeeper.

AutroKeepers are smart relay units that are connected to the loop, controlling a panel’s access to it. They may operate in automatic, semi automatic or manual modes. Using two AutroKeeper units per loop make redundant control of the loop possible.

If you need to power down the primary control panel, for exam-ple, due to maintenance, upgrading the system software etc., and you still want to maintain the same high level of safety in your monitored area, you simply switch the control to the secondary control panel.

Another important advantage is that if the primary control panel should by any reason fail, the secondary panel will take control of the loops. This ensures that an alarm event is not lost in case of system node or network failure.

AutroSafe IFG 4 is certified according to European directives (CPD) requiring EN 54 compliance.
