Commissioning often suffers from being treated as a final step, leading to rushed timelines and overlooked issues. The ICA Global Commissioning Standard emphasizes integrating commissioning into every phase of the project lifecycle, starting from the FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) phase. #commissioning

Design Reliabiliity/Availability analysis (I call it to diifrentiate this with Operation Reliabilty/ Availability study). Design Availability/ Reliability analysis need to be done following Select and at pre FEED stage of major projects. Such studies enable us to define required reliability / availability of the system well in advance of generation of tentative PFDs /coarse PIDs of the system design, identifing adequate no of parallel/ back up units/systems/ equipment and arrangement of the equipment running /hot spare/ cold stand by etc.This study should be done parallel with HAZID and consequent 1st round coarse HAZOP to ensure proper layout, spacing/ occupancies … The study will be underpinned with another study during later stage of the project by the project owner/ contractor to estimate the required spares, mobilize maintenance group etc to ensure adequ ate process operation effciency . There are Design reliability/ availability software packages e.g. Isograph Reliability Workbench which facilitates such studies. Likewise, DNV MAROS can be used to ensure adequate spares, maintenance team size and other. resources will be considered.

In this Insight, ORS talk about EHAZOP, or Electrical HAZOP, and its application of the HAZOP technique for electrical designs. https://lnkd.in/gCHbRYmD #processsafety #technicalsafety #safety #electrical #engineering #EHAZOP #HAZOP

SIL (Safety Integrity Level) verification is a critical process in EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects to ensure that safety-critical systems meet the required safety standards. Here's an overview of SIL verification in EPC projects: *What is SIL?* SIL is a measure of the reliability and performance of a safety function, such as a safety instrumented system (SIS). It's defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards. *SIL Verification Process:* 1. *SIL Determination*: Identify the required SIL for each safety function based on the risk assessment and hazard analysis. 2. *Design and Implementation*: Design and implement the safety function to meet the required SIL. 3. *Verification*: Verify that the safety function meets the required SIL through various methods, such as: - Review of design documents and calculations - Testing and validation of the safety function - Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) - Reliability block diagrams (RBDs) 4. *Validation*: Validate that the safety function operates correctly in real-world scenarios. 5. *Documentation*: Maintain detailed records of the SIL verification process, including test results, calculations, and analyses. *SIL Verification Activities:* 1. *Review of Safety Requirements*: Verify that the safety function meets the specified safety requirements. 2. *Design Review*: Review the design of the safety function to ensure it meets the required SIL. 3. *Testing and Validation*: Perform testing and validation to ensure the safety function operates correctly. 4. *Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)*: Analyze potential failure modes and their effects on the safety function. 5. *Reliability Analysis*: Perform reliability analysis, such as RBDs, to verify the safety function meets the required SIL. *Benefits of SIL Verification:* 1. *Improved Safety*: Ensures that safety-critical systems meet the required safety standards. 2. *Reduced Risk*: Reduces the risk of accidents and injuries. 3. *Compliance*: Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. 4. *Increased Reliability*: Ensures that safety functions operate correctly and reliably. By following the SIL verification process, EPC projects can ensure that safety-critical systems meet the required safety standards, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
