Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA)

2-day classroom training plus workshop

Process plants can pose both plant-related and process specific hazards to people and the environment. Therefore, risk assessment is a legal obligation of the employer and/or process owner in most regions of the world. In manufacturing processes process hazard analysis is used to identify potentially hazardous event scenarios and assess the process risk in a qualitative way. A semi-quantitative evaluation of existing and additional protection layers and their impact to the overall risk of failure scenarios can be obtained by LOPA.

Part 1 – Training:

LOPA and how it is linked with other elements of a Process Management System
When to use LOPA and when not
What LOPA is and how it works
LOPA Team Make-up
Process Risk Determination
LOPA specific Terms and Definitions
How to develop a LOPA-Scenario
Characterization of Independent Protection Layers (IPLs)
Basics of Functional Safety (SIF, SIS, SIL)
Determination of the Probability of Failure on Demand for IPLs
Basic Control System and Human Failures
Low demand mode vs. High demand mode
Documentation of LOPA-Scenarios
Making Recommendations

Part 2 - Workshop:

Exercise: Application of the LOPA-method to failure scenarios

Who should join this course?
PHA-Resources, PSM-Leaders, Project-Engineers, Area Supervisor, Process Engineers, Instrumentation & Control Engineers, Area Engineers

Objectives
This course will introduce you to the basic knowledge about the LOPA methodology, the evaluation of independent protection layers & allow you to apply this method to sample cases as part of the associated workshop.

In addition to LOPA as one of the elements, our REMBE^® Safetyneering contains four additional components for maximum plant safety.

Theoretical and practical knowledge about rupture discs

2-day classroom seminar

Find out everything you need to know about rupture discs and rupture discs in combination with safety valves – from design to application and professional installation. In this seminar, participants are trained on topics relating to rupture discs, types of rupture discs, application limits and special challenges as well as signaling options and various connection options. The assembly and disassembly of the rupture discs and corresponding bursting tests on the REMBE^® test rig show the participants how complex the topic of rupture discs is and how sensitively these components should be handled. Our REMBE^® authorised partner programme is specifically designed to support service companies and maintenance engineers in the correct handling of mechanical protective devices. Participants are trained by REMBE^® during the seminar at our headquarters in Brilon, Germany and will be certified afterwards. You can find further information about the programme here.

Content:

Selection and design of the correct REMBE^® high-performance rupture disc
Tips for error-free handling of safety equipment
Application limits and challenges
Signalling options
Assembly and disassembly of rupture discs
