Proof testing Safety Instrumented Systems, minimal downtime

Optimize proof testing with smart technologies and services for sustained safety and availability

Proof testing Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) has become a key challenge for the worldwide chemical industry. Such systems are increasingly commonplace for compliance or performance purposes and require regular testing to ensure alignment to standards and processes. Faced with tough competition and reduced margins, the problem for plant operators becomes how to optimize testing methods to ensure costly downtime is minimized, and to do so with the benefit of full, in-depth diagnostic coverage.

Sentasy offers intelligent Heartbeat Technology to ensure optimal SIS proof testing, as well as rigorous SIS proof testing services, enabling sustained plant safety with minimal process interruption:


  • Permanent process and device diagnostics with a diagnostic coverage of up to 98%

  • Standardized diagnostic messages with precise instructions

  • Verification without process interruption via the push of a button

  • Automatically generated and unambiguous verification protocols

  • SIL verification through a wizard-assisted proof test procedure that unveils dangerous undetected faults

Application

Process and device diagnostics

Undetected instrument faults can increase the probability of outage in a Safety Instrumented System. Reliable and accurate diagnostics are required to ensure safety and avoid downtime.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy Heartbeat self-diagnostic sensor technology facilitates timely and accurate diagnosis of instrument faults. Our smart instruments carry out more than 80 internal diagnostic measures in the background, including in-depth diagnostic coverage of up to 98%. Results can be conveniently monitored via our Netilion Health app, which provides transparent and standardized diagnostic messages for simplified intervention.

Documented verification

Verification of instruments is a critical activity for ensuring that the installed base is running correctly, however it must be conducted with minimal interruption to processes.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy Heartbeat Technology enables instrument verification to be triggered at any time. The automatically generated verification protocol provides precise results, and the evidence required by safety regulations. We also offer a wizard-guided procedure for SIL proof tests, guiding you step by step through the test.

Smart monitoring

Regular proof testing is required to ensure ongoing process safety however it decreases system availability.

Our expertise in the field

Powered by Heartbeat Technology, Sentasy instrumentation provides detailed instrument and process data enabling the detection of trends, and by extension predictive maintenance interventions. Our clients can optimize their interventions and extend proof test intervals without compromising safety.

Outsourced SIL proof testing

Chemical industry regulations stipulate regular and documented proof testing of Safety Instrumented Systems, placing an increased burden on plant operations, not only in terms of downtime and process interruption, but on plant personnel availability, certification and training needs.

Our expertise in the field

Our SIL proof testing service enables you to outsource this vital task, from onsite inspection, through proof testing to documentation. Our certified functional safety experts can perform the full range of tests from simple loop tests to customized tests in complex applications.
