HIMA PIPELINE MANAGEMENT CONTROL

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Pipeline incidents, often caused by material failure, pressure surges, or criminal activity, can lead to significant financial losses and reputational damage. A leak detection system (LDS) is essential for identifying such incidents, but a comprehensive safety system is also necessary to prevent costly damages.

HIMA Solutions
HIMA offers two solutions for pipeline management: the FlexSILon PMC Hybrid solution and the traditional FlexSILon PMC solution. The Hybrid solution integrates the LDS directly into an emergency shutdown hardware system, providing maximum safety and security. The traditional solution includes the PC-based LDS FLOWorX and software for monitoring and operating pipelines.

Challenges and Risks
Pipelines, while generally safe, can fail due to corrosion, attrition, material failure, vandalism, theft, and cyberattacks. These failures can have disastrous environmental and financial impacts. International standards and regulations aim to minimize these risks, but compliance is often only required where technically feasible.

Hybrid Solution Features
The HIMA FlexSILon PMC Hybrid solution combines a software LDS with a SIL 3 hardware emergency shutdown system. This integration ensures compatibility and enhances safety. FLOWorX software detects leaks and monitors mechanical stress, while HIMax provides emergency shutdown capabilities.

Benefits
HIMA solutions increase pipeline safety and reliability, comply with international standards, and prepare for future requirements. They enable centralized control, automate operations, and reduce downtime. The system architecture minimizes false alarms and technical faults, reducing financial losses and environmental damages.

Conclusion
HIMA's pipeline management solutions offer functional safety and cybersecurity, ensuring protection against hackers. The solutions are trusted by major companies in the industry, including Shell, Total, and Qatar Petroleum.

Rising Pressure from Every Direction Pipelines are among the safest means of transporting liquids and gases. However, if a problem arises, the impact can be d ­ isastrous – for the environment, for your company’s reputation, and of course for your finances. A leak or puncture in a pipeline can cause costs to skyrocket. The later you identify and resolve the issue, the more it will cost. And then there’s the matter of liability; you or your management may be held accountable for the damage and its far-reaching consequences. Why Pipelines Fail The most common causes of pipeline damage are corrosion...

Smarter Pipeline Management There are various international standards and legal regulations in place for pipeline integrity. These aim to minimize damage – especially to the environment. One particularly important stipulation is the use of a leak detection system (LDS). However, in many countries, legislation remains unclear and companies are required to follow only those regulations that are deemed “technically feasible”. According to current law, if you conform to these regulations then you may avoid liability for any damage caused. Nevertheless, you will still suffer the financial losses –...
