The Bottom Line: What Role Do Fired Heater Safety Systems Play?

摘要

Safety systems are required to protect personnel and environment but can go beyond meeting the minimum requirements and provide financial benefits as well. The applicable standards and recommended practices provide guidance for safety system design and selection criteria and also provide an opportunity for innovation and improvement. Implementing a fully automated burner managements system as a safety instrumented system for burner control and monitoring can simultaneously meet minimum safety targets, improve system availability and lower costs.
