Abstract

Many Users are applying high integrity protection systems (HIPS) for overpressure protection of vessels and pipelines. HIPS can be an excellent alternative to standard, passive protection systems, if they are designed correctly. Various standards are applicable when HIPS are used in lieu of pressure relief valves. This paper will address the design issues, as well as the applicable industry standards.
