Introduction to Safety Instrumented Fire & Gas Systems

About

Description

This web seminar will explore the current trends in the market place and industry in general with respect to Fire & Gas Detection Systems and their relationship to Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs). The concept of a Safety Instrumented Fire and Gas Detection System will be introduced and explained in detail.

Design issues associated with Safety Instrumented Fire and Gas Detection Systems will be addressed including:

• Energize-to-trip system requirements
• Mitigation versus prevention system issues with regard to overall facility Risk Reduction
• Backup Power Requirements and implementation issues
• Circuit Supervision Requirements
• Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) Identification / Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Selection issues

• Recognize the differences between a FGS and a SIS
• Know what codes/standards exist or are being modified that could impact the design of FGS’s
• Understand issues to be addressed when attempting to apply SIS concepts to FGS designs
• Understand prescriptive requirements imposed by NFPA 72 certification including battery sizing, battery chargers, and circuit supervision
• Gain insight into future FGS requirements that could impact your design/facility
