SIS system storage tank high and low level cut-off tank root valve
Thread Content
In the designed SIS system, there is only one inlet and outlet pipe for the storage tank; the tank bottom valve is shut off both at high and low liquid levels. The root valve of the tank at high liquid level is closed, preventing liquid from being discharged to lower the level; how should it be designed to resolve this situation in a proper manner?
There is a problem with the design. The high liquid level inlet valve closes, and the low liquid level outlet valve closes. The follow-up valve is usually in the open position and does not operate. Unless isolation is required for modification, close the shut-off valve.
Personal opinion: What is the purpose of the SIS in controlling the bottom valve? For this issue, simply asking the personnel in the process engineering department will reveal the cause (i.e., the interlock conditions). Instrumentation specialties are all supporting specialties that help the system and process specialties meet their requirements.

An emergency shut-off valve is installed at the base of the storage tank; in the event of a fire, a signal can be sent manually from the control room or on-site to close this valve automatically, with the signal being fed into the SIS system. Pneumatic or electric on/off valves are installed on the inlet or outlet pipelines of the storage tank. When the liquid level is high, the pneumatic or electric on/off valve on the inlet pipeline of the tank is shut off automatically; when the liquid level is low, the pneumatic or electric on/off valve on the outlet pipeline is shut off automatically. The interlock signal does not need to be sent to the SIS system.
Is there only one inlet and outlet pipe? There’s nothing else to do then; the purpose of sis is to prevent accidents, not to automatically resolve faults. So, pipelines are cut off at both high and low liquid levels to prevent accidents; if you need to lower or raise the liquid level further, do it manually. There should be a mechanism for disabling the interlock, and when operating again, the interlock will be disabled, followed by some sort of automatic reset procedure. It depends on how you program it
In the event of a fire, the wires burn first, and the seals burn out first, making it impossible to close that damn SIS valve. In case of a fire, call the police and sound the alarm; go and get sand as soon as possible. :lol :lol
It’s a huge factory – there are people everywhere; there are so many of them that it’s like having flies all over the place. And yet fires still break out there? Good heavens, they use tons of foreign-made equipment, and still fires occur. Those who die in such fires become martyrs who will be remembered forever. It would be better to save some foreign currency – just give up on it.
It’s a logical problem; you can use the status of the pump to apply logic
The SIS system is designed solely for safety purposes and cannot provide control over process parameters. Additional pipelines are required to design high and low interlocks within the DCS.

In this case, a manual valve is needed to separate the inlet and outlet streams, and separate shut-offs are required for each. Although it is the same pipeline, there are definitely branches: one branch comes from the pump outlet, while another connects to the pump’s inlet
