Objectives/Scope: Expand the Use of Open Wireless Gas Detection Systems for Life Safety and Asset Integrity As companies struggle to improve the health and safety of the workforce in heavy industrial process industries, it is clear that current solutions demand the flexibility and the fast deployment that an open WirelessHART gas detection system can provide. Untethering toxic and combustible gas detection systems provide: 1. Additional coverage - identifies dangerous workforce environments for fast mitigation and improve life safety 2. Measurements for predictive maintenance program for equipment such as pumps, valves, and tanks 3. Use of gas detection for identifying leaks in difficult to measure infrastructure such as insulated piping to ensure asset integrity Methods, Procedures, Process: 1. WirelessHART standard IEC 62591 2. IS A-TR84.00.07-2010 Technical Report. Guidance for Application of Wireless Sensor Technology to Non-SIS Independent Protection Layers 3. ISA-TR84.00.08-2017-Technical Report, Guidance on the Evaluation of Fire, Combustible Gas and Toxic Gas System Effectiveness Results, Observations, Conclusions: 1. Deployment in days in lieu of weeks 2. Reduction in wiring costs 3. Leaks vs time to detect leaks 4. Long term performance Novel/Additive Information: 1. Best Practices for deploying wireless gas detection systems.
