Skid Hipps

Skid assembled configuration


skid_m

The skid mounted configuration allows a modular design and an easy plug in with the plant. The skid is tested as whole in the factory (IFAT) and shipped directly to site. This configuration cuts time and effort to assemble various components inside yards and construction sites decreasing assembling and commissioning issues. Skids are designed and manufactured according to API, ASTM, ASNT, NFPA standards and customer’s specifications.

Installation

Installation costs and timing is dramatically reduced with an economic and delivery benefit.

Components


VALVE

The valve is the main component of the safety loop. Based on application, fluid composition and process requirements different types of valves may be suitable: Gate Valve, Ball Valve, Axial Valve. ATV HIPPS is able to choose the best option within ATV brand wide product basket or with any valve supplier based on customer’s preference.

actuator

The actuator is an important component of the safety loop. The most suitable actuation for HIPPS are Hydraulic and Pneumatic actuation based on available power supply. Self-acting actuation is an option as well when no power supply is available. Electric actuation is less common. ATV HIPPS can supply actuators from the market or its own actuators.

logic solver

The logic solver is a very important component of the safety loop. Programmable or Solid State Logic Solvers are available based on SRS and Customer SIL goals. SIL 3 or 4 equipment is available in the market based on customers’ requirement and preference. An additional logic solver-free solution is available, using traditional mechanical HIPPS systems.

PRESSURE TRANSMITTER

The pressure transmitters are the most common and suitable initiators of the safety loop. A pressure transmitter is an electronic instrument sensing the process fluid pressure and generating a 4-20mA signal to the logic solver, according to the calibration range. The recommended configuration is 2oo3.

Partial Stroke Device

The partial stroke device is a must in order to increase and keep required SIL levels. A certain number of partial stroke tests per year could be necessary to comply with SIL requirements. It depends on the reliability data of the final element components and the installation architecture. Different technical solutions are available.

interlocking manifold

The interlocking manifold allows safer operation of initiators. The interlocking manifold allows the system to isolate and vent the lines of only one initiator at a time, via a predetermined sequence in order to avoid spurious trips or problems due to misoperation. Special attention is required for selections based on process fluid composition.

skid

The skid is a carbon steel or stainless steel structure of various dimensions that has to accommodate the components. It has to be designed according to API, ASTM, ANST standards and customer specific requirements.

Hydraulic Power Units

Hydraulic power units are normally mounted on the skid close to HIPPS valves. Accumulators for emergency strokes are installed on the valves or on the skid.

Other Components

There are additional components that may be part of a skid mounted HIPPS as: Double Block and Bleed Valves, piping spools, vent system, drain system, etc.
