HIPPS (also referred to as HIPS) systems are a series of components, specifically engineered to isolate the source of dangerous high pressure instead of relieving the excess flow, in the case of an overpressure event. HIPPS is an independent and reliable Safety Instrumented System that is designed with high integrity as per established ANSI/ISA and IEC standards, in order to equal or exceed the safety performance of conventional safety valves.
Product Overview
Key features:
> Initiators / process sensors:
Initiators are either electronic or electromechanical pressure switches or transmitters which measure the process
variables (PV) to sense an event.
> Final elements:
The final elements are the physical units that are called upon to isolate the exposure, and are typically fail
safe valves, open or closed using spring loaded, hydraulic or pneumatic actuators and solenoids.
Benefits:
> Steam vent and blowdown silencers
> Exhaust silencers
> Pulsation dampeners
> Suction stabilizers
