www.pidesign.co.ukEach of the safety relays, R252. R292, R332 and R372 require resetting following de-
energisation, this is achieved by a reset pushbutton operating onto a relay R805. This ensures
that following an activation the system cannot re-open any valve without firstly all level
sensors being in their normal mode.
The final element sub-system comprises of an isolator switch located in the field then to the
rotork actuator. This isolator isolates the mains supply to the valve.
Gasoline Pipeline:
Isolator – Tag Number – HS162
Rotork Actuator and Ball Valve – XV162
There is no facility for overriding the system and it is noted that any spurious trip or sensor
fault will result in total shutdown of all four tanks as any sensor activation or fault shuts down
the common import valve.
In addition to the shutdown facility of the logic solver with regard to the common pipeline
valve, the logic solver has future enhancement built into by the previous owners in order to
provide for closing of a tankside inlet valve and return flow from the VRU. In addition the
logic solver provides for closing the tankside export vanle and VRU feed valve on activation
of the ESD.
It is felt that it would be unpractical to remove this enhancement, in line with the current
operating methods of Local Fuel, however, it is felt that a simplified overview drawing
detailing the intended operation of all tanks in respect to the SIS would enhance the
understanding of the proposed system, in relationship to Local Fuel requirements.
Action 13:
5.7.2 Performance
The FSA reviewed the performance of the SIS over the 18 months that it has been in the
ownership of Local Fuel, the following were considered:
Actual Activations: (Demand on System)
No activations have occurred.
