Benefits of HIPPS
Severn Glocon Group integrated HIPPS are designed to set a new
standard in safety, performance, assembly and test of high integrity
pressure protection systems, enabling oil and gas operators to:

Delivery Wheel
The Severn Glocon Group fully satisfy HIPPS requirements by ensuring
that the level of safety, quality and service is delivered at all levels.
The Severn Glocon Group HIPPS facility enables Integrated Factory Acceptance Test (IFAT)
bringing together the HIPPS components and customer and Classification Society in a
single space for validation and testing of the HIPPS.

How does HIPPS work
HIPPS is an application-specific safety system to prevent over
pressurisation of a pipeline by rapidly closing the final elements
to shut off the pipeline.

allowing a safe shutdown. The final elements, valves and actuators, have proven
track record in critical safety systems.

In addition to the Electronic HIPPS’s pressure transmitters, the Mechanical HIPPS uses
mechanical initiators to detect an increase in pressure (pressure sensors,
PS), providing an additional level of protection in the event of over pressurization.
Two pairs of pressure sensors are linked to two final elements in series. Each final element
has mechanical initiators with ‘one out of two’ (1oo2) voting. This standalone system has
no external power requirements.

of the process (the actual required closure time needs to
be qualified). It is imperative that required speed of closure
for the final elements is calculated based on the protected
volume, correct speed of operation is critical to ensure a
surge is not created, compounding the initial problem.

The IEC 61508 standard defines four levels of SILs: SIL 1 being the lowest and SIL 4 the highest. A SIL
is determined based on a number of quantitative factors, in combination with qualitative factors such as
development process and safety life cycle management. In effect, defining the degree of redundancy required.
Operational
Isolation valves maintained in-line, avoiding the cost
and disruption of removing the valve during process
maintenance. In addition, the valve design permits
the pipeline to be pig inspected.
