Indiss Plus® Dynamic Simulation Improves Safety
Houston, TX – SIS-TECH Solutions, LP announces partnership with CORYS Inc to use Indiss Plus® dynamic simulation platform-based services.
Indiss Plus® Platform is used to design dynamic simulation models, train the process operators, support the commissioning, start-up, and real-time support throughout the lifecycle of an operation.
The Indiss Plus® Platform can be used to improve productivity and resolve transient issues that cause process upsets. From a safety perspective, the simulation provides a stronger rationale for selecting the trigger levels for alarms, interlocks, and SIS, for identifying the critical event data for troubleshooting, and for improving operator response to abnormal operating conditions.
Simulation Solutions
- Control System Reliability – Test control logic, improved reliability, and process uptime
- Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) – Intuitive HMI, improved situational awareness, and usability
- Alarm Rationalization / Management – Optimized alarm variables and priority
- Operator Training – Effective training with safety perspective, faster troubleshooting, more rapid return to normal
- Safety System Reliability and Effectiveness – Test safety logic, verified actions, response time, reduced on-site testing requirements
Enhance operational reliability by using dynamic simulation throughout the safety lifecycle:
- As a project progresses, the simulation model fidelity can progress to support testing of Independent Protection Layer (IPL) functions, HMI design, operator training to control strategies, and testing process response.
- During engineering, dynamic simulation allows a means for validating the available response time for various alarm set points. And, evaluating acknowledgment delay and operator response for transient and non-steady state conditions.
- When parallel events occur, dynamic simulation allows understanding of alarm prioritization. Optimizing alarm sequencing for various transient conditions in a virtual environment, minimizes potential for collateral alarm events.
- Supporting start-up activities, dynamic simulation can validate operator response time in the control system environment. Operators experience a real feel of the process response through trial and error in a virtual plant.
