518 Architecture Based Safety Instrumented Systems: A New Approach

Instructor: Glenn G. Young, CSP, Glenn Young & Associates, LLC, Baton Rouge, LA

Description: Sponsored by the Consultants and Engineering Practice Specialties
The nuclear and aerospace consensus standard Safety Instrumented Systems is now entering the process industries. As the standard currently exists, implementation will be overly conservative and prohibitively expensive. This session introduces a new, architecture-based alternative to the implementation of the consensus standard and discusses why the alternative is more appropriate for the process industries.
