Operation of a complex refinery process involves keeping the process within varous types of limits. These include safe operating limits, integrity operating windows, machine protection or other reliability limits, and product quality limits. This diverse background panel session from process controls and process safety management explores how to effectively identify these parameters and keep the limits in front of operators using instrumented shutdowns, alarm systems, and other monitoring and alerting software.
Learn from an incident where a sand blast pot was opened under pressure. We will discuss how the site was effected by this incident and how Motiva partnered with onsite contractors to create an onboarding document and video to ensure this type of incident is not repeated.

This is a panel session follow-on based on the recent AFPM webinar by Phillips 66 Bayway that discussed HMI and alarming enhancements during a control room modernization project. Key components discussed in the webinar were alarm rationalization and the development of HMI graphics based on human-centered design principles with the goal to improve safe reliable operation at the facility. Key design considerations come from industry standards and good shared practices, along with valuable input from key stakeholders across departments. This panel session will also discuss operator development to improve situation awareness as part of a control room modernization.
Come prepared with your questions by viewing the pre-session.
A well implemented alarm management program can deliver results that not only improves the operator’s situational awareness, decreases the potential of a safety related incident, and enhances environmental compliance but also reduces unplanned downtime, helps prevent equipment damage, lessens production losses due to off-spec production, and improves overall plant profitability. The alarm philosophy and rationalization efforts are key to establishing an effective alarm management program and sustaining it long-term.
Participants will:
Learn how Motiva improved their alarm management program.
Understand the need to have an alarm philosophy before beginning an alarm management program.
Understand the basics of alarm rationalization with a focus on quality alarms rather than quantity.
