Have you ensured prevention of an Auckland Power Crisis occurring within your company?
 
As increased capacity for limited attendance and unattended plant boilers provides greater economies to users, the necessity to engineer totally safe systems is paramount.
 
IMC’s Safety Shutdown Systems Seminar provides  you with an update on the application of international standards necessary to meet the safety requirements of today.
 
The seminar provides key information on:

• Safety stds required to ensure fully redundant systems
• The latest safety systems available on today's market, ie trip & interlock systems, burner management systems and pressure relief systems.

• 9:30 Emerging International Trends in  Shutdown Systems,  Mark Portlock, Systems Consultant
• Explores the life cycle cost savings of safety systems, safety versus availability issues, and “peopleware” performance (as opposed to hard- and software) in abnormal situation management.
• 10:15  Morning Tea
• 10:30 Putting IEC61508 into Practice, Bruce Durdle, Consultant Engineer
• The IEC61508, sets out a method for assessing the level of integrity required for a protective system. This presentation reviews methods to meet the requirements of the IEC61508 std with the example of a typical industrial development, ie. Liquigas’s pipeline and pump station protection.
• 11:15  Setting Safety Relief Valves To Cut Leakage,  Mike Helean - Technical Director
• Safety-relief valves are indispensable to protect unfired pressure vessels, process piping and equipment against excessive pressures. This presentation provides information on design considerations for  plants requiring   safety devices, back-pressure effects on vessels, pressure vessel requirements and sizing factors
• 12:00 Lunch Break
• 1:00 The Application of Triple Modular Redundant Safety Systems,  Jeremy Seah, Asia Pacific Director
• Process industry applications cover a wide range of potential hazards that can seriously affect personnel, the environment and plant facilities. This article provides an aid to users and specifiers in applying IEC61508 and ISA SP84 when approaching  the  problem of implementing   safety and safety  related  systems in the process industry.
• 1:45  Safety Certification for Upgrades & Installation of Boilers  Bill Black - Manager Industrial Services
• Bill Black  will provide the  governments perspective on upgrading existing or installing new  boilers to limited  attendance or  unattended status.  Includes  a  discussion of certification for such equipment and plants.
• 2:30 Afternoon Tea
• 2:45 High Pressure and Temperature Steam Control in Geothermal Applications,  Alan Pointon - Mechanical Engineering Manager
• Kingston  Morrison  are  involved in  many geothermal power generation projects, and this presentation will address some of the more interesting control and safety aspects.
• 3:30 Safety Systems on Electric Power Generation Plants, David Moore - Senior  Consultant
• A review of the evolution of safety systems and an overview of some recent projects. These include co-generation  plants at BHP  NZ Steel, CHH  Kinleith, and Anchor Products Te Awamutu.
