We have fully Integrated “HIPPS (High Integrity Pressure Protection System) or IOPSS (Instrumented Overpressure Safety System)” to prevent over-pressure from hydrocarbon source (Wellhead/ Reservoir) by shutting-off the source of the high pressure. In traditional systems over-pressure is dealt with relief of venting systems. These systems have obvious disadvantages such as release of (flammable and toxic) process fluids in the environment and often a large footprint of the installation. With the increasing environmental awareness relief systems are no longer an acceptable solution.

HIPPS/ IOPSS provides integrated and cost effective solution to protect equipment in cases where:

• High-pressures and / or flow rates are processed
• The environment is to be protected.
• The economic viability of a development needs improvement
• The risk profile of the plant must be reduced

What is HIPPS or IOPSS?

HIPPS or IOPSS that closes the source of over-pressure within 02 seconds, it avoids emissions to atmosphere and provide a “GREEN” alternative to Flare or vent systems.

The HIPPS/ IOPSS is designed and built in accordance with the IEC-61508 and IEC-61511 standards or the API14C standard. The HIPPS/ IOPSS can be electronic or mechanical and may even be stand-alone without requiring external energy source.

A HIPPS/ IOPSS is a Complete Functional Loop consisting of:

• The initiators that detect the high pressure, these can be electronic (PTs with HIMBs or mechanical (Pressure Switches)
• In electronic HIPPS/ IOPSS there is a logic solver, which processes the inputs from the initiators to an output to the final elements (fast Shutdown SDV x2)
• The final elements (SDVs), that actually perform the corrective actions by safe shut down of the process. The final element consists of Valve + Hydraulics/ Pneumatic Actuator x2 with Fire Proofing, SOVs, Valve position feedback switches and partial stroke testing (PST) device.
• Solar Power with Battery Storage & Inverter and Hydraulic Power Unit for SDV Actuator (as site specific option).

Advantages of HIPPS:

• HIPPS can protect personnel, environment and equipment incases where:
• High pressures occur and / or high flow rates are processed.
• The economic viability of a field development needs to be improved.
• Emission are to be reduced or avoided (e.g. toxic fluids).
