Shut Down Valve (SDV / ESDV)

A shut down valve is an actuated valve designed
to isolate the flow of a hazardous fluid or
hydrocarbon gas upon detection of a dangerous
event and provides protection against possible
IA/NG
harm to people, equipment or the environment.
DVC As shutdown valves often form part of a safety
instrumented system, they are primarily
associated with the Oil & Gas industry and
required by law on any equipment placed on an
S offshore drilling rig to prevent catastrophic
events.

Blow Down Valve (BDV)

As the term blowdown implies, the purpose of
the valve is to immediately depressurize the
equipment in the event of specific process upsets
by sending the unwanted gases to flare. A BDV is
IA/NG
typically specified as a tight shut-off valve
configured to “fail-safe” by specifying that the
actuator’s spring will open the valve if the
electrical signal or upon the loss of instrument air.
Blowdown valves are emergency on-off valves

Shutdown (ESD) system rather than direct

Self-Contained Hydraulic ESD

A self-contained hydraulic system is often
deployed for ESD applications in remote locations
where a power source is either not available or
not reliable.
When armed, the system is designed to remain
dormant until a violation of the user configurable
pressure setpoint is detected. A reliable pressure
switch will release the hydraulic pressure and a
mechanical spring will move the linear or rotary
valve to the fail-safe position.
· Suitable for remote and critical service
applications
· Simplified fail-safe design, with few parts
for increased reliability
· Eliminates the need for plant air,
electricity or nitrogen backup
· Control can be mounted onto standard

IA/NG Many codes and standards which define the use

Intelligent Software of a HIPPS require that the system be “as safe as,
& Analysis Tools
or safer than”, a conventional relief valve design.
These standards also imply that the
IA/NG implementation of a SIS should be based on the
DVC safety lifecycle defined by IEC 61511 / ISA 84
1-A standards which apply the concept of Safety
SIS Integrity Level, or SIL, to measure the amount of
LS
DVC risk reduction that a HIPPS system is capable of
1-B providing.
In comparison, a pressure relief valve will have a
probability that it will fail to open when a demand
S
occurs; so the justification for the use of HIPPS
must include an analysis of its Probability of
S
Failure on Demand (PFD) which is directly
PT PT PT
proportional to the system SIL rating.

Reducing CAPEX
The primary reduction in project cost from the
use of a HIPPS is the reduction of flare and
pressure relief manifold size when adding new
equipment to existing facilities.
Significant cost savings can also be realized by
minimizing the process downtime related to
equipment that will release pressurized product
into the header.
A HIPPS system can often be installed with
minimal process downtime when compared to a
flare system expansion project and provides the
following cost benefit:
· Eliminates need for resizing of the flare
and / or relief manifold
· Reduced process downtime
· Reduces the volume and number of
flaring events
· Cost of manual testing decreased

Lowering Operational Cost

Installation of an Emerson HIPPS solution reduces
the labor to comply with the testing and
inspection requirements for mechanical over
pressure relief systems.
Other benefits include the reduction in the
volume and number of flaring events which has
become increasingly important as regulatory
agencies impose greater restrictions and
penalties on emissions and flaring events.

potential of an over pressure event and can help
to eliminate releases to the environment thereby

Smart HIPPS Product Selection

Component selection is a very important part of
designing a HIPPS system. Each product must be
SIL certified and selected so that no single device
can compromise the overall integrity target of
the HIPPS.
To become SIL certified under IEC 61508, the
supplier must demonstrate that the failure rate
and mode for each component in the product is
identified and minimizes the Probability of Failure
on Demand (PFD).
· The considerations for the PFD relate
directly to the SIL rating of the HIPPS and
include:
· Determining hardware failure rate
· Common mode failure percentage
· Proof test coverage

Assembly & Testing

Testing should demonstrate the system meets
the well-defined requirements of the Safety

system not only consists of operational tests, but
also includes testing throughout the
manufacturing, commissioning and start-up
processes.
Testing often includes:
· Design validation test
· Factory acceptance tests
· Integrated factory acceptance test
· On-Site pre-commissioning tests
· Operational proof testing
· Site acceptance test
· HIPPS performance tests

Field Testing Procedures Manual

The objective of periodic testing is to maintain
the SIL rating of the system while minimizing any
disruption to the process.
Emerson can document a recommended field
testing procedure that complements the
automated partial stroke and SOV component
testing and ensures the integrity of the safety
function throughout its lifetime.
Also, by utilizing proper valve design, the pipeline
can be pig inspected to avoid the disruption and
cost of removing the valve during the
maintenance process.
A comprehensive field test procedure can be
supplied with system to:
· Minimize process disruptions
· Confirm system integrity
IEC61511 / ISA 84 Safety Lifecycle · Maximize system uptime
· Ensure safety integrity levels

IA/NG Rosemount™ 3051S Pressure Transmitters

Intelligent Software
& Analysis Tools The ability to accurately measure pressure
reliably is a key dynamic in HIPPS applications.
When over pressure occurs, your system must
IA/NG respond immediately in order to initiate the
DVC pressure protection system response in time to
1-A protect your downstream equipment. The 3051S
SIS can detect plugged impulse line via SMART
LS
DVC diagnostic (using HART), allowing DeltaV SIS to
1-B take appropriate action and increasing the
Diagnostic Coverage of the HIPPS.
Pressure, level and flow applications are all

covered by Rosemount Pressure Transmitters.

IA/NG Fisher FIELDVUE Digital Valve Controllers

Intelligent Software
& Analysis Tools Using Fisher FIELDVUE DVC6200 SIS digital valve
controller you can safely extend the time
between final element proof tests by using partial
IA/NG stroke testing (PST). By accessing built-in
DVC diagnostic capabilities, operators can identify
1-A stuck valves, pressure droop, friction changes and
SIS
other common valve issues without taking the
LS valve and your process offline. With vital
DVC
diagnostics, facilities can be confident that the
1-B
final control element will perform when needed.
