Instrumented Systems (SIS/SIL)
–Widely accepted – IEC 61508/11, ANSI/ISA-84 –Encompasses the whole
safety life-cycle –Offer certified gauges and failure
statistics
• API 2350: Overfill Protection for Storage Tanks In Petroleum
Facilities
–Edition 4 now a standard
16
How does API 2350 fit together with IEC 61511 “SIS/SIL”? • IEC
61511
– Generic in nature – Focus solely on SIS
• API 2350 – Specific for tank gauging – Wider scope than just
SIS
• IEC 61511 an excellent way to comply with API 2350 – But it is
only a requirement for Automatic Overfill Prevention Systems
(AOPS) – Most tanks do not yet use AOPS but this is rapidly
changing

Critical Parts of API 2350 • Management system • Risk assessment •
Operations & procedures • Overfill Prevention System • Tank
gauging
19
The first line of defense – Tank Gauging • The BPCS is used
24/7
– Tank Gauging system critical to prevent overfills – Safety layer
used in case BPCS fails – Replacing old mechanical gauges and
alarms with modern
equipment critical to reduce risk

OPS-gauge for safety
Overfill Prevention System (OPS) What do you need in
practice?
Detect Decide Act
Manual or Automatic OPS
• This is the minimum requirement in API 2350 for any modern
facility
• Basic principles: – Automatic detection of HiHi level – Automatic
HiHi-alarm – Manual decision – Manual action
• Fully automatic system – Detect, Decide and Act – In practice
equipment shall conform
to IEC 61511 • This is the direction the industry is
heading • AOPS is a future-proof investment
Manual Overfill Prevention System (MOPS)
Automatic Overfill Prevention System (AOPS)

Continuous measurement for overfill Pros • Remote proof-testing:
quicker & safer • Real time automatic data
– Level rate & time to full tank • Delta-check between level
and overfill
measurements for 24/7 sanity check • Multiple set points:
HiHi/Hi/Lo/LoLo • Increased tank utilization • Lower Opex Cons •
Higher Capex
The Future of Overfill Prevention Belongs to Continuous
Measurements Point level for overfill Pros • Well-known • Lower
Capex Cons • Difficult to know whether
it works or not • Manual proof-testing on top of the
tank • Usually no remote communication or
diagnostics • Higher Opex
tested remotely from the control room • Increases safety:
– No unnecessary tampering with device • Buncefield: incorrect
handling of the high-level switch had left it inoperable
– No personnel in the field • Increases efficiency:
– Cost of traditional point level proof test: • 4 hours to test×2
tests/year×10 years×$100/hour = $8 000
– Cost of continuous gauge remote proof test:
• 0,5 hours to test×1 test/year×10 years×$100/hour = $500

Best Practice: Always Use SIS Certified Level Gauges in OPS

2-in-1: Three Potential Concerns • The antenna is a common part –
is this a problem? • What about technology diversification? • Does
it comply with safety standards?
37
2 Radars, 1 Antenna – Is It a Problem? Statistics: in case of
failure, where does it most often happen?
Electronics MTBF*:
194 years
Tank MTBF*:
Only
0,2% of failures will happen here
1% of failures will happen here
* MTBF = Mean Time Between Failure ** Source: Health and Safety

event data for use within land use planning risk assessments”,
2010
42
Technology Diversification? • Some argue that technology
diversification provides best safety • Case in point:
Buncefield
– 1 servo gauge – stuck! – 1 high level switch – inoperable due to
mistakes in device testing!
• Technology diversification will NOT save you • Technology
diversification is NOT a requirement of API2350
or IEC 61511
43
The Essence of Technology Diversification How would you like to
cross the desert?
2x Jeep 1 Jeep + 1 Tata Nano
44
Diversification Not Without Risks of its’ Own • IEC 61511-2,
11.2.4:
– ”Separation between the SIS and the BPCS may use identical or
diverse separation.”
• Diverse separation – “reducing the probability of systematic
faults”
• Identical separation – “reduces the likelihood of maintenance
errors”
• The risk of technology diversification: – Many different device
types to be familiar with – Many different procedures to know –
Bigger risk of human error
E.g. like what happened to the high
level switch at Buncefield
Presentation Notes
Some facts: “Human factors caused more than 60 percent of
maintenance related HSE incidents in the United Kingdom's oil and
gas industries since 2001.” - Burton, M.J., et al., “Human factors
guidance for selecting appropriate maintenance strategies for
safety in the offshore oil and gas industry”, in HSE Research
Report 213, 2004. A 2006 study of storage tank accidents in
industrial facilities found: 74% of accidents occurred in petroleum
refineries, oil terminals or storage. Fire and explosion account
for 85% of the accidents. 30% of accidents were caused by human
errors including poor operations and maintenance. -Chang, James I
and Lin, Chen-Chung; ”A study of storage tank accidents”; Journal
of Loss Prevention in the process industries, vol 19 p51-59;
2006
45
Is 2-in-1 Compliant with Safety Standards? • Yes! • Statements from
3rd party authorities and organizations confirming it
fulfills IEC 61511 and API 2350 standards
Statement from Phil E. Myers, API 2350 committe chairman
Statement from Dr William Goble, Principle Partner exida
46
• Faster installation & commissioning – Fewer devices &
device-types – Single tank-penetration – Single mechanical
installation
• Online verification with -check • Measurement has better
quality
– High accuracy continuous measurement • HiHi, Hi, LoLo, and
Lo-alarm in same device
47
Adding Point Level OPS Switch Sounds Simple But… • Many
difficulties:
– Bridle mount, stilling well or side nozzle – Separate mounting –
Hot work? – Taking tank out of service? – Re-strapping? – On-tank
proof test
• Lots of: – Manpower – Money – Things that can go wrong
Internal floating roofs and external decks
require stilling wells or side mouted nozzles to
be installed
Eliminate Cost of a Second Still-pipe
Conservative estimate: Pipe material $3 200 Design work $3 000
Installation $3 000 Mounting arrangements, brackets etc. $3
000
Crane rental $1 000 Revenue loss from tank out of service $6
300/day
Re-strapping the tank $9,500 TOTAL $29,000 or more
