INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS FOR SAFETY M. B. Jennings CHE 185

INHERENTLY SAFE DESIGN PROCESS RISK MANAGEMENT METHODS USED DURING THE DESIGN PHASE CAN BE PUT INTO 4 CATEGORIES: Inherent Passive Active Procedural TARGET IS A FAIL-SAFE INSTALLATION FROM: Dennis C. Hendershot and Kathy Pearson-Dafft, Safety Through Design in the Chemical Process Industry: Inherently Safer Process Design , AIChE Process Plant Safety Symposium, 27OCT98

INHERENT SAFETY DESIGN Inherent — Eliminating the hazard by using materials and process conditions which are non-hazardous. Minimize — Reduce quantities of hazardous substances Substitute — Use less hazardous substances Moderate — Use less hazardous process conditions, less hazardous forms of materials, or configure facilities to minimize impact from hazardous material releases or uncontrolled energy release Simplify — Configure facilities to simplify operation

PASSIVE SAFE DESIGN Passive — Minimizing the hazard by process and equipment design features which reduce either the frequency or consequence of the hazard without the active functioning of any device. Location of facilities – separation of ignition sources and fuels from other facilities Design equipment for design pressure in excess of the adiabatic pressure from a reaction.

ACTIVE SAFE DESIGN Active — Using facilities to detect and correct process conditions: controls safety interlocks monitoring systems for hazards that develop over a long term and emergency shutdown systems to detect and correct process deviations.

PROCEDURAL SAFE DESIGN Procedural — Prevention or minimization of incident impacts using: Safe operating procedures and operator training Administrative safety checks Management of Change Planned emergency response

DESIGN OF SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEMS ACTIVE INHERENTLY SAFE DESIGN PROCEDURE (Separate instrumentation and control component in CHE 165 Design) First Level – Alarm systems for out of range situations and operator action Second Level – Interlock systems to automatically activate safety devices Third Level – Devices to minimize impact of out of control conditions

USE OF HAZAN AND HAZOP PHA’s (Process Hazards Analysis) Are used to define areas of concern HAZAN and HAZOP provide a summary of the type of risk associated with various process locations and operations Frequency should be determined Intensity should be determined

OVERPRESSURIZATION EXAMPLE OVERPRESSURIZATION IS THE SUBJECT OF NUMEROUS CODES & REGULATIONS AIChE Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 – Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals NFPA 30 – Flammable & Combustible Liquids API RP 520 and API RP 521 – Pressure Relieving Devices and Depressurization Systems ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code ASME Performance Test Code 25, Safety & Relief Valves

SOURCES OF OVERPRESSURIZATION API 521 LISTS THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES OF SOURCES API RP 521 Item No. Overpressure Cause 1 Closed outlets on vessels 10 Abnormal heat or vapor input 2 Cooling water failure to condenser 11 Split exchanger tube 3 Top-tower reflux failure 12 Internal explosions 4 Side stream reflux failure 13 Chemical Reaction 5 Lean oil failure to absorber 14 Hydraulic expansion 6 Accumulation of noncondensables 15 Exterior fire 7 Entrance of highly volatile material 16 Power failure (steam, electric, or other) 8 Overfilling Storage or Surge Vessel   Other 9 Failure of automatic control

FIRST LEVEL DESIGN HOW ARE SOURCES ADDRESSED FOR A STORAGE TANK? Item 1 in previous list - Closed outlets on vessels Would be a concern for a nozzle used for pressure control in the tank, during filling operations. Perhaps a temporary blind flange would have been left in place after a maintenance operation. A pressure relief valve may malfunction. A PAH pressure switch (ΔP) could be installed if there was measurable difference between the Normal Operating Pressure and the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure.

SECOND LEVEL DESIGN HOW ARE SOURCES ADDRESSED FOR A STORAGE TANK? Item 1 in previous list - Closed outlets on vessels Add a pressure relief valve to allow gas to leave the tank and be directed to an appropriate flare or scrubber. Set point needs to be at or slightly above the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure Need an interlock to: Alarm to indicate valve has been activated and receiving unit (flare or scrubber) is activated. Shut down a valve in the tank fill line and/or shut off a pump used for filling.

THIRD LEVEL DESIGN HOW ARE SOURCES ADDRESSED FOR A STORAGE TANK? Item 1 in previous list - Closed outlets on vessels Add a rupture disc to relieve to either a flare or scrubber. This level is to protect the equipment from failure on a major scale Need to have an indication that the rupture disc has opened – typically a wire across the disc Need to determine actions necessary when the disc opens – stop filling, start flare, etc.

OTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS A large storage tank is filled manually by an operator opening and closing a valve. Once a year, the tank overfills as the operator is distracted by other activities. A high pressure alarm is added to the tank. After the alarm is added, the tank is typically overfilled twice a year. Why?

EXAMPLE 1 After the alarm was installed, the operator relied on it to indicate a high level and did not supervise the filling closely. The alarm loop turned out to have a failure rate of twice per year, so the system was not as reliable as the manual operation.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS – EXAMPLE 2 Fail-safe valves are either Air-to-Open or Air-to-Close, which equate to Fail Closed and Fail Open, respectively. Recommend the correct valve for the following processes: Flammable solvent heated by steam in a heat exchanger. Valve is on the steam supply line. Exothermic reaction. Valve is on the reactant feed line. Endothermic reaction. Valve is on the reactant feed line. Gas-fired utility furnace. Valve is on the gas supply line.

EXAMPLE 2 - CONTINUED SPECIFY EITHER FAIL-CLOSED OR FAIL- OPEN FOR THE VALVES IN THESE SYSTEMS Remote-operated valve on the drain for a storage tank. Remote-operated valve on the fill line to a storage tank. Gas-fired Combustion furnace. Valve is on the air supply line. Steam supply line. Valve controls the downstream steam pressure from the boiler.

EXAMPLE 2 – SOLUTIONS 1 Valve to FAIL-CLOSED to prevent overheating the solvent Valve to FAIL-CLOSED to avoid a runaway reaction Valve to FAIL-CLOSED to avoid reactor thermal stresses. Valve to FAIL-CLOSED to stop gas flow to uncontrolled combustion.

EXAMPLE 2 – SOLUTIONS 2 Valve to FAIL-CLOSED to prevent draining material from tank Valve to FAIL-CLOSED to prevent overfilling tank Valve to FAIL-OPEN to maximize air flow to furnace Valve to FAIL-OPEN to avoid localized overpressure of line

EXAMPLE 3 4 kg of water is trapped in between inlet and discharge block valves in a pump. The pump continues to operate at 1 hp. What is the rate of temperature increase in C/hr if the cP for the water is constant at 1 kcal/(kg C)? What will happen if the pump continues to operate?

EXAMPLE 3 SOLUTION - 1 Assume adiabatic conditions for the calculations:

EXAMPLE 3 SOLUTION - 2 Allowing the pump to continue to run will eventually result in high pressure steam formation. This could result in the pump exploding. Adding a thermal switch or a high pressure switch to shut down the pump can prevent this from occurring.
