2016 Functional Safety – Training on SIS Applications is about to begin!

Thread Content

In accordance with the requirements of **Ministry of Work Safety Document No. 116, “Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Safety Instrumented Systems in the Chemical Industry,” as of January 1, 2016, work safety supervision agencies across the country have gradually required that new projects in the category of two key areas and one major project undergo SIL grading and verification. The SIF function allocation of the Safety Instrumented System (SIS), as well as the determination, design, installation, acceptance, and maintenance of the Safety Integrity Level (SIL), cover the entire lifecycle of the device. Completing this task requires process designers, process hazard analysts, safety instrument designers, safety instrument installers, safety instrument commissioning personnel, and safety instrument maintenance staff ； The required knowledge includes knowledge of chemical engineering processes, as well as knowledge of process hazard analysis, the design and selection of safety instruments, and the testing and maintenance of such instruments. How to determine the SIL level of an SIF, and how to verify that level after instrument engineers have selected the appropriate design for the SIF, is a problem that plagues relevant organizations in China. Recently, \"Process Industry\" reached a cooperation agreement with the Instrumentation and Equipment Committee of the Chinese Association of Automation. The \"2016 Functional Safety – Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Application Training Course\", which was originally scheduled for early November, has been rescheduled to November 16th. The training duration has been extended to 4 days, and its content has been significantly upgraded to become the \"2016 Special Training on Safety Instrumented Systems, SIL Classification, and Verification\". Through the strong integration of resources, it is hoped to provide process safety trainees with more professional content. Basic information: Special training on safety instrumented systems and SIL classification and verification in 2016 – http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/cQIxkfrDbfTJiajVqDoiatJQPf55d4dotMlnwNMAGfjN0iarvHErWkCU6JeMwCH9ywiaDlT8OvicKA6iamXgghe3n6Tw/640? Dates: November 16–19, 2016 (registration on November 15) – http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/cQIxkfrDbfTJiajVqDoiatJQPf55d4dotMTEur88PH3upaQ9iaeSwialM1Z30rhDAxCrISVgqUib31VvDB2NqbYESFA/640? Organizer: China Machinery Industry Information Research Institute (No. 22, Baiwanzhuang Street, Xicheng District, Beijing). Co-organizers: China Machinery Industry Information Research Institute (China Machinery Press) and PROCESS “Process Industry”. Training fee: 3,400 yuan per person (including materials and lunch). Course Objectives: Currently, there is a shortage of qualified professionals in China for SIL grading and verification. In regular SIL training, in order to cover the above knowledge within a limited time, only brief overviews are provided – each topic is discussed briefly, with the basis being IEC61508 and IEC61511. As a result, after the training, aside from some basic concepts, most trainees do not master the methods that are most essential, namely SIL classification and SIL verification. These are what the trainees most want to learn*, but they get diluted by other content. This training focuses on SIL classification and SIL verification, and features two senior experts (see the resumes of the instructors below). Both of these instructors have over 20 years of experience in chemical processes and safety instruments, as well as extensive practical experience in SIL classification and SIL verification. Their teaching approach combines theory with practice, integrating lectures with interactive sessions and Q&A sessions. Target participants: This course is suitable for engineers working in the process industry (petroleum and chemical companies, chemical manufacturing firms, thermal power plants, manufacturers of process automation equipment, etc.) who are involved in the application of automatic control and safety instrument systems. This includes personnel responsible for risk assessment as well as supervisors in these companies ； The supervisor responsible for the design of the safety instrumented system ； Engineers engaged in safety instrument system design, risk analysis, and risk mitigation ； Managers who need to understand the concepts and guidelines of IEC 61508 & IEC 61511 ； Engineers involved in any part of the safety lifecycle of safety instrumented systems. Course Schedule (2 days in total) Day 1: Analysis of the \"Guiding Opinions of the State Administration of Work Safety on Strengthening the Management of Chemical Process Safety Instrumentation Systems\" (Safety Supervision Administration Document No. San [2014] 116) ； Life cycle management technology for chemical process safety instrument systems ； Introduction to Practical HAZOP Methods ； Introduction to the characteristics and methods of HAZOP for SIL classification ； Definition and characteristics of independent protective layer ； Explanation and Practice on Protective Layer Analysis*. Day 2: Basic introduction to SIS, SIF, interlocking, and SIL ； SIL classification: matrix method ； SIL classification: Risk mapping method ； SIL classification: LOPA method ； Comparison of 3 grading methods ； SIL classification training*. Day 3: Life cycle architecture of IEC61508 / 61511 and basic knowledge and concepts regarding functional safety of SIS ； Engineering design of SIS ； The basic concepts and structure of SIS ； Reliability analysis techniques and methods. Day 4: SIL Verification Techniques and Methods for SIS ； How to obtain data from a certification certificate ； Hands-on practice* ； Completion assessment. The speaker is Tang Bin, a specially appointed expert by the committee and the chief consultant at Tianjin Ju’an Enterprise Management Consulting. He has over 20 years of experience in consulting in the fields of petrochemicals, chemicals, engineering, and safety. Previously worked for Sinopec Tianjin Branch, American Process Chemicals and Ingredients Inc. (APCI), ERM Environmental Resources Management Consulting Co., Ltd., and DuPont China Co., Ltd. Teacher Tang specializes in various aspects of process safety management, especially PHA analysis ； I have been engaged in hazard analysis for over 10 years, having led HAZOP analyses for more than 100 projects and carried out SIL grading and verification for over 20 process units. Professor-level Senior Engineer Zhang Jianguo: Member of the Instrumentation and Devices Committee of the Chinese Association of Automation, member of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Process Measurement, Control and Automation (SAC/TC124), TÜV Rheinland functional safety expert, and expert in Safety Instrumented Systems at the Chemical Safety Association under the State Administration of Work Safety. I have over 10 years of experience in engineering projects related to Honeywell safety systems, and in 2007 I obtained the TÜV certification as a functional safety expert as well as instructor qualifications. In recent years, he has participated in the development of several standards related to SIS, and is the author of the book \"Applications of Safety Instrumented Systems in the Process Industry\". In 2008, as one of the main contributors, I participated in the drafting of the standard **GB/T 50770-2013 Code for Design of Safety Instrumented Systems in Petrochemical Industries**.
