Asset Integrity Management safety management tools

Posted: 23 November 2003

IEC 61508 and 61511 Process Safety Management Applications

Asset Integrity Management Limited offer a number of user-friendly IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 based Process Safety Management software tools.

These tools facilitate the efficient assessment of Safety Instrumented Systems using LOPA, risk graph or risk matrix methodology.

Subsequently, appropriate design architecture for the associated Safety Instrument Functions can be readily configured and the test and maintenance frequencies automatically calculated to meet the required Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD).

A maintenance module captures mature data to complete the lifecycle.

The database may be networked to provide a visible and secure audit trail for the lifecycle of Safety Instrumented Systems.

IEC 61508 & 61511 Process Safety Management Application Tools

SILHazop - A fully configurable and comprehensive Hazop tool
Selected worksheets may be exported to SILLopa or SILClass for SIL determination.

SILClass - To undertake SIL determination using a risk graph approach
Use of generic IEC 61508 risk graph, or a risk graph/risk matrix graphical builder to construct safety, economic and environment graphs/matrices to accommodate client specific requirements.

Calculation of maintenance/test intervals to align them with the SIL determination and associated PFD.

M out of N calculation capability for initiators, logic solvers and final elements.

PFD of parallel SIF and IPL combinations to take credit for devices such as relief valves.

Calculation of Safe Failure Fraction and Hardware Fault Tolerance.

Calculation of common mode dependency Beta factor.

SILLopa - To undertake SIL determination using Layers of Protection Analysis
Efficient safety, economic and environmental assessments using automated LOPA calculation

SILCalc - Calculates PFD and test intervals for any complex functions
Result may be exported to SILLopa or SILClass as required.

SILAlarm - Classify and prioritise alarms in line with EEMUA guidelines
Result may be exported to SILLopa or SILClass as required.

SILTest - Schedules and generates test and maintenance routines
Captures mature plant specific reliability data for feedback into SILClass and SILLopa and SILCalc test and maintenance calculation modules.
