Alarm systems are at the heart of any safety system. A well designed and calibrated alarm system can detectx000D
any abnormal situation in the plant early on, enunciate the abnormality, and reduce the number and severity ofx000D
abnormal situations. The goal of this research is to determine the root cause of alarm overload in a Crude Unitx000D
of a petroleum refinery, and implement advanced alarm management system to improve the safety, reliabilityx000D
and productivity of the unit. Risk based and event based alarm management system will be implemented on thex000D
crude unit of the refinery. Besides making the plant safe and sustainable, it is estimated that through reductionx000D
of abnormal situations the refinery can save directly about CAD 3 MM per year. It addition to benefiting thex000D
plant directly, this project will contribute significantly to technology development. The new generation alarmx000D
management system has the potential to be developed as a marketable product both home and abroad, thusx000D
contribute to the Canadian economy. Finally, the newly developed alarm management tool will make processx000D
industries safer, and save lives.
