Dear DMS Members, So, what is the difference between a DCS and a SCADA? This has been something that has been asked for many years and will perhaps be more relevant to today’s systems than before.

Before I suggest a reason for this let’s try to describe the difference between the two. Each consists of a network capable of supervisory control and data acquisition but in the early days the DCS, consisting of distributed process controllers, was used for continuous or PID control whilst the SCADA, consisting of a network of PLCs, was used for logical or Boolean control, but, as time progressed, so did the control applications and for some time now they are both capable of running any kind of process. Today, they even both use controllers and I/O modules that can be the same shape and format. Little difference then.

However, there is still a difference essentially due to why the the original systems were created with their respective architectures. DCS required more redundancy and process unit segregation but also less graphic update latency in most cases and so the dynamic points sourced their data directly from the controller whilst the server was the main source of data in a SCADA. This then is the main differentiator but in the networks of today where bandwidth (network and processor) and processor power are such that the complete plant can be controlled from a single processor, is it time to smooth over the difference between the two?

Through their collaboration with Rockwell’s Allen-Bradley, Honeywell were the first DCS to consider this with the Experion PKS being a hybrid DCS (Distributed System Architecture in Honeywell speak) using a SCADA network concept where dynamic data points are accessed from the servers and hence the virtual server can be easily considered in their case. This allows replacement of some of the more processor intensive control strategies to be carried out in the server rather than controller with the server mimicking the controller just as Esscor developed with their FSim solutions used for training and control strategy development.

This concept doesn’t have to stop there and I see a time (soon I believe) when we revert to single-loop controller concepts for control segregation with one small difference. Virtual servers with edge computing will allow the processor to carry out this function in the field devices themselves as has been the case with Foundation Fieldbus (although underused for various reasons not to do with criticality) and just as the autonomic nervous system does.

This will allow the control system to reduce its footprint and allow greater use of standard computing and networking processors running process control applications and, with the advances in OT system cyber-security features, there will be greater use of open and unified architectures (OPC UA) and control and graphic applications (Wonderware).

Standardisation rather than customisation.

Saudi Arabia’s Marjan Field Expansion Marjan is one of the biggest and oldest offshore oil and gas fields in Saudi Arabia. The Marjan oilfield has seen several key developments in its oil and gas capacity production over the past decades, dating back to the field’s first discovery in 1967. Saudi Aramco is responsible in continuing to revamp the oilfield to expand its crude and gas production capacities.

In 2017, Saudi Aramco announced the new Marjan oil field expansion project that will expand the crude production from the field to 800,000 barrels per day (bpd). The scope of work involves the retrieval of more oil, associated and non-associated gas, as well as to cap gas from the field. This will help in maintaining Aramco’s overall maximum sustained crude production capacity at 12 million barrels a day (Mbod).

The implementation of the Marjan expansion project consists of multiple onshore and offshore packages with several firms being awarded during the course of 2019.

Package 1 is awarded to the consortium of Mcdermott

and China Offshore Oil Engineering Company, Package 2 to the consortium of Larsen & Toubro and Subsea 7, Packages 3, 10 and 14 to Saipem, Package 4 to McDermott, Packages 6 and 11 to Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Packages 9 and 10 to Tecnicas Reunidas while Packages 16,17 and 18 has been recently awarded to China’s Sinopec Engineering. Many more packages are expected to be awarded towards the end of the year.

The Marjan Oilfield Expansion project is scheduled for completion in 2022. Apart from producing 2.5 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfd) of gas and 360,000 bpd of ethane and natural gas liquids (NGL), the project is expected to add 300,000 bpd of crude production.

Saudi Aramco’s offshore and onshore operations are expected to maintain production on the mature gulf fields over the next decade as hundreds of new wells will be required to be drilled to support other operations in nearby oil fields of Saudi Arabia.

Haradh Gas Increment Program Saudi Arabia plans to raise its gas production to be able to diversify its energy mix through its Haradh Gas Increment Program. In an initiative to meet growing domestic needs, Saudi Aramco is building gas compression plants and other facilities at Haradh while an expansion of the Hawiyah Gas Plant is currently underway to also raise capacity.

From

Analysis to Z-Curve …

Hawiyah and Haradh are part of Ghawar, the world’s largest onshore oilfield. The expansion project will provide additional gas processing facilities to process 1,070 Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day (MMSCFD) of raw gas and also the installation of a pipeline network to allow free-flowing 290 MMSCFD gas from the Haradh field to the Hawiyah Gas Plant.

In July 2018, Aramco awarded several key engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors to the program’s gas compression facilities which will see a pipeline network connecting several plants within Haradh. Turkey’s Tekfen won the Satellite Haradh GCP, China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Corporation won the North Haradh GCP, Italy’s Saipem won the South Haradh GCP contract.

Currently, the awarded contractors for the GCP package have completed more than 35% of their respective EPC works and are all scheduled for August 2021 completion.

Skids are continuously being supplied and manufactured by Alderly, Petronash, AES Arabia and Gulf Specialized Works for the project.

... we have just the right recipe for your cabinet.

In 2017, Saipem won the main contract for the expansion of the Hawiyah Gas Plant and last month had awarded Velosi to conduct a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) study for the expansion project. The gas plant is scheduled to come on stream by June 2021.

Connect, supply, isolate, convert, protect, switch, and communicate – with our products you can realize practically every task between the field and control level. Whether for a conventional point-to-point

The developments of the gas compression facilities at the Haradh and Hawiyah comes in part of the Kingdom’s Southern Area Energy Efficiency Program for improving and sustaining gas production by choke pressure reduction at the wellhead of 300 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) which will help extend the steady production rates for both fields for the next 20 years.

connection, fieldbus or Ethernet communication, or a state-of-the-art wireless network: We have the ideal solution.

PROCESS SAFETY

PROCESS SAFETY

Process Safety Time: A key aspect to design SIF Loop Response Time Rajeshkumar Modi, SIF Specialist, Oman LNG

Introduction The effort and expense required to establish and Each process is having its unique Process Safety Time (PST) depends on process types and their dynamics. Therefore, Process Safety Time can be varied prominently amongst methods. Hence within the Process Safety Time, the action of Safety Instrumented System is to be completed to move the process to a safe state from out of control situation due to either failure of critical running equipment, control system or predefined operator actions. Consequently, the occurrence of a hazardous situation in the plant can be prevented by applying the Safety Instrumented System and other subsequent layers. Means, Process Safety Time is the time between failure & occurrence of a hazardous event.

So to prevent the undesired event, it is essential to put back process to the safe state within predetermined period through various Layers of Protections such as Basic Process control, Alarm & operator action, SIS, RV, etc.

Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is the final dynamic layer of protection for the process to protect against the undesired event. Safety Instrumented System comprises of major three subsystems, i.e. Sensing Element (SE), Logic Solver (LS) & Final Element (FE) to design Safety Instrumented Function (SIF).

The SIF response time must be considerably faster than Process Safety Time to prevent any undesirable incident or accident. This article briefly describes basics of Process Safety Time, Safety Instrumented Function Loop Response Time & several challenges which are getting encountered due to design, installation, maintenance

and ageing effects with suitable practical solutions to derive desired response time of Safety Instrumented Functions loop within defined Process Safety Time. It also describes the applied rules to set SIF loop response time & applicable margins in line with relevant best practices and the IEC standards’ guidelines.

Application of Protection Layers The effectiveness of each e.g. Instrumented (SIF) or Mechanical (RV) type of Independent Protection Layer to prevent the predicted hazard depends on the time to detect the condition (including measurement lag), determine the appropriate course of action, initiate the necessary action(s), and complete the action(s).

For a simple mechanical Protective Layer such as a pressure relief valve, the Response Time may be relatively simple to determine, whereas instrumented Protective Layers are comprised of a series of complex components, or needs human intervention. Hence the evaluation must consider the number of variables.

Definitions of Process Safety Time IEC 61511:2016, Ed.1 Part1 defines PST as: “time period between a failure occurring in the process or the basic process control system (with the potential to give rise to a hazardous event) and the occurrence of the hazardous event if the SIF is not performed” IEC 61508:2010 Part 4 defines PST as:

“period of time between a failure, that has the potential to give rise to a hazardous event, occurring in the EUC or EUC control system and the time by which action has to be completed in the EUC to prevent the hazardous event occurring”. EUC (equipment under control)

equipment Design safety margin} After determination of Process safety time for each hazardous scenario, the timeline for each contributing factor needs to be established.

Center of Chemical Process Safety, defines PST as: “the time period between a failure occurring in the process or its control system and the occurrence of the hazardous event.”

From the above definitions; Process Safety Time can be understood in a simple way as “the interval between the Initiating Event (IE) leading to an unacceptable process deviation and the Hazardous event”.

Therefore, Process Safety Time is not a specification, but it is a function of the behavior of the process and process equipment which may generate hazardous scenario by one or multiple initiating events. Each initiating event has a potential to impact process dynamics in the same or different ways, which depends on the type of applied protection/mitigation layers as well as condition modifiers, operating modes, or effect of consequences on different risk receptors.

Based on the determined Process Safety Time, it is important to design protection layer(s) with sufficient speed of response for any considered credible scenario including the process to get stabilized to meet Process Lag Time requirement even after Protection Layer(s) actions have been completed.

Process Safety Time (PST) and Process Lag Time (PLT) should be evaluated and derived by a team of Process, Mechanical, Maintenance, and Operation having specific knowledge of the process, process equipment, and its operation by studying design specifications, safe operating limits, other process safety information and past experience with applied reasonable assumptions.

Once the process safety analysis is completed, and Process Safety Time will be determined for each scenario and the derived values and assumptions will be quite useful for subsequent activities and should be maintained as valuable Process Safety Information. These details are not only useful to design Protection Layers but also useful as a reference for defining operation benchmarks, for establishing the testing procedures, for assigning a pass/fail criteria after testing, as well as for performance validation and revalidation.

The technique for determining Process Safety Time; significant factors such as the specific process type, process equipment design limit, and the mode of operation are to be evaluated for the variables which are most closely associated with the occurrence of the hazardous event.

The PST comprises of; {Time from the activation of Initiating Event (DCS Alarm or ESD Trip) + Time is taken by an individual Independent Protection Layer(s) (ESD, RV) + Time to get the process to stabilize (Process Safety Time) + Process/

In case the applied layers are not sufficient to meet the determined Process Safety Time, then new Independent Protection Layer(s) may be required to design to match characteristics of Specificity, Independence, Dependability & Auditability, or adequacy of existing safeguards to be evaluated for the desired function. Hence before finalization, the Functional evaluations of Independent Protection Layers should be made by a team of the most familiar & competent members having an acquaintance of specific design and the applicable functional requirements of each protection layer. The amount of time between Initiating Event (IE) and Hazardous Event (HE), these two discrete points in time, depends on the estimated rate of change of the process variable.

The Independent Protection Layer’s Response Time does not include the ‘Process Lag Time’, it is the time for the process to stabilize and to reach a safe state on the completion of Final Element action. The Process Safety Time, including Process Lag Time, can be estimated based on the Rate of Change of Process Variable (Change in Process Value per unit time).

Let’s understand this concept with examples: • ‘Surge’ takes place in the centrifugal compressor when flow rate through a compressor becomes very low due to loss of suction or blockage of discharge, in such circumstances compressed gas through the machine can establish reverse/backflow through the compressor which may cause damage of machine / severe accident. For this case, the “Process Safety Time” is the time interval between; activation of a low flow alarm and the compressor surges. As this incident occurs very quick, the “Process Safety Time” is a few seconds..

• For fired process heater, If the heater tubes skin temperature goes high, the tubes may get ruptured, and process fluid gets released into the heater firebox, potentially cause fire and explosion. For this case, the “Process Safety Time” is the time interval between a high Automation

| October 2019 55

PROCESS SAFETY tube skin temperature alarm and the tube ruptures. For this incident, the worst-case time will be minutes or in hours based on the release quantity.

Basics of SIF Response Time SIF Loop is one of the independent protection layer, its response time is defined as; “the time necessary for the Independent Protection Layer to detect the out-of-limit condition and complete the actions necessary to stop the progression of the process away from a safe state.”

Safety Instrumented System contains major three subsystems, i.e. Sensing Element (SE), Logic Solver (LS) & Final Element (FE) are used to design Safety Instrumented System. Each subsystem has its own time to perform the desired safety function. Hence, the overall loop response time is the sum of the Sensing Element’s scan time, the logic execution time, and the actuation time for the Final Element to attain a fail-safe state.

Means, the hardware that is used to design the SIF loop, defines the time to perform the desired safety function.

This time interval is SIF Response Time, which is independent of the process control time. While determining the SIF loop response time, first to pay attention to the determined process safety time.

The SIF response time must be designed faster than Process Safety Time to prevent an accident. Hence, it plays a vital role to resume the safe state of process from the specific abnormal situation within Process Safety Time (PST). One established rule of thumb is the Safety Instrumented Function Loop response time should be less than one half of the Process Safety Time. This rule helps to ensure uncertainty associated in the prediction of dynamic process conditions, process measurement, measurement lag, the potential for degraded performance over time; as well as to protect further, in case the hazardous situation remains at the end of the first scan cycle so that still SIF will have enough time to react.

PROCESS SAFETY Design Criteria To design the desired Response time for the SIF Loop, various tricks/techniques are applied to fulfil the requirement, some of them are: • Sensing Element: Signal filter and time delay shall be used where process dynamics PST is not in few seconds, i.e. fast process dynamics as it is a part of the over-all SIF Loop response time calculation.

• Operator Response time: The operator should have sufficient time to take action, if operator intervention is part of the SIF Loop response, then it is to be added in the SIF Loop response time.

• Logic Solver: Logic Solver (ESD) response time, should be taken as twice the ESD cycle time.

The sum of the diagnostic test interval and the time to perform the specified action to achieve or maintain a safe state is less than the process safety time The process safety time for all SIF should be long enough then the typical ESD response time is acceptable, • Final Element: Add a margin of 10-30% in the defined valve response time as the valve stroke time is getting deteriorated over a period of time due to mechanical construction.

Apply additional pneumatic components like booster or exhaust relays to achieve required stroking time Use the latest digital valve controllers or smart positioners with specific configuration to achieve required stroking time of the valve.

Criteria to derive Appropriate SIF Loop Response Time The maximum allowable response time of a SIF Loop (entire loop from Sensors to Logic Solver to Final Elements) starts when the process is at alarm/trip condition and ends when the final elements reach to their safe states. Still, the SIF loop shall be able to accommodate some margins which might have generated due to degradation of performance or ageing of field instrument.

Therefore, SIF Loop Reponses Time = {Sensor Element Response Time (Including Filters) + LS Response Time (input to output) + Programmed Time Delays + Final Element Response Time to reach safe state + (Margin)} 56 Automation

| October 2019

Causes for observed changes in the SIF Loop Response Time During the project design stage, the Process Safety Time is the estimated value based on calculation/modelling of process dynamics, experience and assumptions.

Based on this, the derived Process Safety Time, the value of SIF Loop Response Time will be mentioned in the

Safety Requirement Specification along with the architecture of the Safety Instrumented System.

In SIF loop, the Final Element is the most vulnerable subsystem due to its dormant condition during plant running and having multiple mechanical moving parts.

Also, Final Element takes a maximum time of SIF Loop Response time. As per standard practice, the valve travel time is one inch in five seconds for Control & one inch in one second for Safety applications. Otherwise, for unique/specific application for the required distinctive speed of response travel time shall be documented.

Usually, response time for Sensing Element and Logic Solver remain almost unaffected over some time except minor drift whereas this is not true for Final Element, e.g.

Valve as it encounters.

For drift or variation in the subsystems, various causes such as installed instrument of obsoleted / old technology, aging, environmental stresses, changes in process dynamics, applied changes / modifications, improper maintenance techniques, wrong design concern, etc. are accountable for deviation in the originally designed, installed and validated response time over a period.

Consequently, there are chances of occurrence of an undesired hazardous event.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY RAJESHKUMAR MODI (C.Eng, CFSE -Exida & TUV certified FSEng) is a Bachelor Degree in EC engineering and having more than 30 years of experience in design, engineering, maintenance & construction of ‘Instrumentation & control’ systems for Petrochemical, Oil-&-Gas, Fertilizers plants/projects from client and EPC sides. Presently, working as a IPF Specialist in Instrument (Engineering) department. He authored and published technical articles on various SIS topics in Hydrocarbon Processing, Automation Insight, etc. and presented technical papers in international symposium at USA, Netherland, UAE- Dubai & Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Oman, India

Conclusions: Process Safety Time (PST) depends on process types and their dynamics. Hence within the Process Safety Time, the Independent Protection Layer(s) of a given level of risk reduction have to respond to a process demand quickly enough to stop the propagation of the hazard scenario.

Safety Instrumented System is designed as one of the dynamic Independent Protection Layer to act and to move the process to a safe state. Thus, the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) helps to prevent the occurrence of a hazardous situation in the plant. Therefore, the success of Safety Instrumented Function depends on the proper response time of SIS subsystems. Thus, various criteria are to be applied to achieve desired response time with an appropriate margin.

However, the individual Independent Protection Layer Response Time is more complex and often deferred or overlooked. Hence, it is essential for End Users shall perform the functional proof test of each static or dynamic Independent Protection Layer (IPL) at predefined time interval to certify the functionality. For this, a formal process to be developed and manage relevant documentation to validate the suitability of each IPL for its intended purpose, and supporting evidence that the IPL possesses the core attributes.

Delaying or deferring a complete validation, including Process Safety Time and IPL Response Time, increases the risk of late design changes or gaps in risk reduction not being recognized at all. Also, the deterioration in the performance of any Independent Protection Layer takes more time to complete the desired function, which may cross the defined Process Safety Time.

INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS CYBERSECURITY

Safety Management in Disruptive Age How to make safety systems resilient to physical and cyber-attacks Safety systems help to protect people, assets and environment, which is the core mission. To fulfil this mission there are perquisite that have to be fulfilled to ensure that suitable process safety techniques are included both in the design, maintenance and operations according to standards, regulations and industry best practice. These techniques form the basis of Functional Safety and focuses around ensuring Safety Instrumented Systems are kept available and ready to minimise the potential for failure or any error. In case the Safety Instrumented Systems fail to respond correctly during any internal disturbance, it could lead to catastrophic consequences. Similarly manmade or natural external causes can result in accidents which can affect safety and profitability.

Functional Safety standards help to ensure consistent and robust processes are developed and followed throughout the Lifecycle of plant. This ensures due consideration is given to minimise the risk of failures or errors (Random /Systematic/Common cause), such as hardware failures, software failures, human errors, environmental influences or any other external events like physical and cyber-attacks. a) Architecture Redundancy In Process Industry, catastrophes arising due to common and random causes can be mitigated either by diversification or redundancy. Redundancy has to be designed and implemented in a way that safety function will be executed even if one part of the plant is affected but remaining parts of the plant can maintain the safety

functions. For instance a fire and gas system designed in a redundant scheme can be operated in the unaffected part of the plant and mitigate the spread of the fire.

For one of HIMA’s European customer, redundancy scheme was deployed to assure interruption in one part of the plant did not affect the other areas. The other side of the plant would remain active to execute Safety function. With help of HIMA’s HIMax platform the requirement was fulfilled with deployment of complete redundant systems in two different parts. b) Performance of the Safety system Safety systems execute their safety function within the perimeter of safety time which plays a vital role in their performance of reducing the effect of catastrophes.

Safety functions must be executed quickly to lessen the spread of the catastrophe to other parts. Therefore Safety Controller response time and safety function time have to be considered at design stage to ensure that safety function will be executed within this critical time limit. With HIMA’s HIMax providing high processing capabilities a 2000 I/O system can complete the safety function within 100 milliseconds. c) Isolation Different mitigation layers have to be considered for handling the damaging event by BPCS, SIS and other layers. d) Cybersecurity Industrial cyber security threats and their consequence have to be considered in the design stages of Safety system and should have isolation and segregation provided to tackle such threats as required by IEC62443 standards. e) Recovery If any incident has occurred, there should be a recovery plan available for restoring the system and bringing it back to operation within a short time. For that following provisions could be kept • Hot standby Architecture • Ready to replace architecture • Mirror image Redundancy architecture These provisions will help to revive the safety function from the incident and recover the production quickly.

As risk external events are arising we need to analyse, minimize and manage risk in all lifecycle rigorously.

When a Dream Needs a Gentle Push to Give It Wings-Sponsored by Analytical Division Of ISA Growing up as the youngest child in a family of five, abandoned by your father, neglected by your elder brother and sister, with just your mother who is a day laborer in a physically unwell state of health and with the dreams of one day becoming a Chemistry Professor is really hard. This is exactly the condition of Mohammed Sajib Sheik, a 10 year old boy hailing from a slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Sajib’s father abandoned the family a long time ago.

His elder brother and sister are both married and living their own happy lives while almost totally neglecting the existence of their own mother and brother. Sajib’s mother, Sofia Begum works as a day laborer to provide for herself and Sajib. But, because of being physically unwell, she isn’t able to go to work daily and so the responsibility of taking care of his mother and himself falls on the meek shoulders of young Sajib. He has to works after school, selling newspapers and water bottles to meet their needs.

Like all other kids of his age, Sajib too loves playing cricket. He sings as well. But unlike every other kid whose role model might be a cricketer in this cricket crazy nation, Sajib’s role model is Alfred Bernhard Nobel, the world famous Swedish Chemist and founder of the Nobel Prizes, and hence his love for Chemistry.

Once, at school, during a session of Science, the teacher was teaching about mixtures and it was a little above the understanding capabilities of a regular Sixth Grader, but Sajib easily understood the concepts and was given the opportunity to perform experiment in front of the whole class, and that too very successfully.

He is passionate about his dreams to become a Chemistry professor one day and that is clearly reflected in his academics. But the only thing in his way to achieve that dream is the current situation he is in. No one to help him progress with his education, no one to guide him and help him plot his next steps 66 Automation

in education. And this is where C2C has come in to help him. C2C has taken Sajib under its wings and are supporting him by providing 1000BDT per month to help take care of their accommodation needs so that he can use the money he earns by himself to help complete his education and pursue his dreams of becoming a Chemistry Professor.

C2C has a really good idea of how Sajib should carry on his education so as to achieve his dream. The Bangladeshi educational system is basically divided into 7 levels: •Pre-primary: Play School to Kindergarten •Primary: Grade 1 to Grade 5 •Junior School: Grade 6 to Grade 8 •Secondary School: Grade 9 to Grade 10 •Higher Secondary: Grade 11 and Grade 12 •Bachelor’s Degree: 4 years •Master’s Degree: 1 year According to the above given system, Sajib is now in Junior School and has a minimum of 9 years of education left to finally be able to achieve his dream.

As per the Government curriculum, basic Science will be taught to all students from Grade 6 to Grade 8. From Grade 9, Science will be broken down into Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And it is also from Grade 9 that the education stream will be divided into Science, Arts and Commerce and this will be followed up until Grade 12. So, Sajib will have to opt for the Science stream from Grade 9 and then continue his education to attain a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and then opt for a Master’s Degree in Chemistry to increase his chances of becoming a Chemistry Professor.

THE WATER PROMISE – DMS Global joins hands with WATER RELIEF.ORG Clean water has become one of our most precious resources in the 21st century, in fact, one in nine people live without access to clean and drinkable water.

The water crisis is real. It’s affecting men, women, children, families, and farmers. Women and children are spending hours a day fetching dirty water which leads to illness and disease, robbing entire communities of their futures.

Lack of access to safe water and proper sanitation harms health.

When health is affected, it limits education, leading to a cycle of poverty.

A bold commitment should be made to make sure everyone gets a chance to drink water from a reliable source.

DMS Global has joined hands with WATERRELIEF.ORG, a nonprofit charitable organization in helping to plant more fresh water wells and pumps throughout Africa and Asia.

Recently, DMS Global has taken an initiative to providing funds to dig a well in Ukhiya Village, Cox Bazar District, Chittagong division in Bangladesh.

This is to help the refugees from Myanmar who are currently residing in Bangladesh.

Every gift has an impact. Let’s share this gift of water with everyone.

Sajib is currently being sponsored by the Analysis Division of ISA. With a helping and guiding hand behind him, Sajib can easily achieve his dream and build a brighter future for himself and his family.
