HIPPS and Skid Integration Solutions

HIPPS - High Integrity Pressure Protection System

HIPPS is an instrument based protective system, placed in a critical plant which is not fully rated to the high pressure scenarios that it might be exposed to

HIPPS System is the safety element of the plant on protection against over pressure hazard, closing it within seconds as safety relief valve; a typical system usually present 2 or 3 final elements in series and prepares the shutdown within seconds, depending on the pipeline presure, flow rate and diameter and class of the pipeline

HIPPS Configuration

The system is designed according to Safety Requirements Specifications IEC 61508 (functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety related system) and IEC 615111 (functional safety: safety instrumented system for the process industry sector); certified up to SIL 3 & SIL 4, also by Third Party upon Customer request.

HIPPS Component

Application

  • Wellhead flowline
  • Pipeline and compressor stations
  • Flaring systems
  • Separation and Processing Facilities
  • Gas plants
  • Gas storage
  • Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels
  • Offshore platforms
  • Onshore platforms

Main Advantages

01

Environmental

Relief system are used in traditional systems to handle over-pressure source releasing the service fluid (flammable and toxic) in the environment. This large amount of fuggitive gases is annually burnt and released into the atmosphere. It is essential to reduce flare emission to protect the environment. In this sense, HIPPS systems avoid fluid released out of the system keeping the environment free of gas emissions.

02

Economic

A lower design pressure on the system brings to significant reduction of downstream system's weight and cost.

03

Safety

The main function of HIPPS System is to isolate overpressure source of safeguarding downstream equipment. The HIPPS System is designed with safety functions to minimize the risk of failure demand.

Fabrication

We delivers high-quality fabrication services supported by approved engineering drawings, qualified WPS/PQR procedures, and certi􀃠ed welding personnel. Through strict quality control and adherence to industry standards, we ensure reliable and precise fabrication results for critical industrial applications.

Our project experience includes the fabrication of Regulating Station (RS) and Pressure Regulating Station (PRS) facilities, reflecting our capability to support gas and energy infrastructure projects.

Fabrication

Integration

We specializes in the integration of pressure transmitters, logic solvers, and final elements into a complete HIPPS solution. Through proper installation, con􀃠guration, and calibration, we ensure all components function as a high-integrity safety system capable of automatically and rapidly preventing overpressure conditions.

Our services are supported by SIL 3 Certified Functional Safety Personnel, ensuring compliance with functional safety requirements and industry best practices.
