Advantages of HIPPS
HIPPS provides a solution to protect equipment in cases where:
- high-pressures and / or flow rates are processed
- the environment is to be protected
- the economic viability of a development needs improvement
- the risk profile of the plant must be reduced
HIPPS is an instrumented safety system that is designed and built in accordance with the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards.
The international standards IEC 61508 and 61511 refer to safety functions and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) when discussing a device to protect equipment, personnel and environment. Older standards use terms like safety shut-down systems, emergency shut-down systems or last layers of defence.

Famous quotes containing the words advantages of and/or advantages:
“... there are no chains so galling as the chains of ignorance—no fetters so binding as those that bind the soul, and exclude it from the vast field of useful and scientific knowledge. O, had I received the advantages of early education, my ideas would, ere now, have expanded far and wide; but, alas! I possess nothing but moral capability—no teachings but the teachings of the Holy Spirit.”
—Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
“When the manipulations of childhood are a little larceny, they may grow and change with the child into qualities useful and admire in the grown-up world. When they are the futile struggle for love and concern and protection, they may become the warped and ruthless machinations of adults who seek in the advantages of power what they could never win as children.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
