Sam Kosma, exida Canada~Safety Considerations for Control Systems
There is a strong interaction between system safety and process up-time. Managing risk has been looked at as mysterious and expensive, but the right expertise and methodology, hidden savings can be revealed. Control systems architectures can be optimized to provide acceptable levels of risk while minimizing both capital expenditures and life-cycle costs. Code requirements are constantly changing so we will also review the recent changes to CSA B194 codes for burner management.
