Design and Application of HIPPS (High Integrity Pressure Protection System)
Thread Content
The attachment is: Design and Application of HIPPS (High Integrity Pressure Protection System).
The High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) is a specialized technology within Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), typically used in process facilities with high safety requirements. It achieves safety protection by shutting off the hazardous pressure source to prevent overpressure in downstream pipelines and facilities. Similar to the basic protection principles of conventional SIS systems, when the process system is operating normally, HIPPS remains in monitoring mode and does not participate in the control of the production process; it only triggers safety protection actions when the production conditions reach a critical dangerous level. Currently, the HIPPS system is widely used in foreign projects, and it is also being applied in domestic projects.
This concept is quite new; I haven’t encountered it yet, and I’m not sure if there are many applications for it. Thank you for sharing!
For reference: The High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) can prevent pipeline overpressure by shutting off the high-pressure source. Compared to traditional pressure relief systems, the HIPPS solution retains excess fluid or gas within the system rather than releasing it directly. Thus, safety can be improved, losses can be reduced, emissions can be prevented, and ensuring that the factory complies with regulatory requirements.
For reference: The selection and application of the HIPPS system are determined by the reliability level of the safety instrumented systems in question, as assessed through HAZOP and SIL analyses. When the reliability level of such safety instrumented systems needs to reach SIL3, the HIPPS system can be considered for use.

I am working on a HIPPS design for emergency venting. Could you send it to my email address, Instissues@sina.com? Thank you!
