Beyond PFD: Mastering SIF Performance for High and Continuous Demand Modes

This webinar dives into a crucial but often overlooked topic for process safety engineers: high-demand and continuous-demand Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs).

While most conversations focus on the Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) for low-demand systems, this approach completely misses the mark for SIFs that are always on or frequently active. In these critical scenarios, the risk isn't about a dormant failure; it's about a failure that leads to an immediate hazard.

This is where the paradigm shifts from probability to frequency.

We'll show you why traditional methods like periodic testing and diagnostics lose their effectiveness for high-demand SIFs. Instead, we'll explore how fault tolerance and robust architectural designs like 1oo2 or 2oo3 arrangements become the key to achieving safety.

You'll learn how to move beyond PFD calculations and master the concept of a dangerous failure rate. We'll introduce you to Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and demonstrate how our powerful Arbor™ software can handle these complex calculations with ease.

Join us to ensure the safety and reliability of all your safety functions, no matter their operational demand.
