FEATURE PROCESS SAFETY B


EKA has introduced two new universal process panel meters featuring


multicolour negative liquid crystal displays. Each meter has a colour adjustable, five digit and thirty one segment bar-graph display which is visible in all lighting conditions from bright sunlight to total darkness. The display colour can be linked to the meter's alarm status providing operators with a very conspicuous warning. For example, a green display could change to red when a high alarm occurs and to blue in the low alarm condition. Display colours and brightness can easily be adjusted on-site to match other instrumentation in the panel or operator's preference. The meters accept process current,


voltage and resistance thermometer inputs. Versions are available for operation from a low voltage DC or a mains power supply. All models have IP66 front of panel protection. For applications in hostile and marine environments, the rugged A90-SS has a 316 stainless steel enclosure and an impact resistant toughened glass window. The meters have a variety of standard features including, minimum and maximum display memories, root extraction for flow applications and a tare function for weighing. As with all BEKA instruments,


configuration is performed via the front panel buttons using the common


Multicolour displays on process panel meters


Multicolour displays can provide a very conspicuous warning on process panel meters, as BEKA associates explains


simple intuitive menu. Meters may be calibrated to show the input signal in engineering units without the need for an external voltage or current source, or for the meter input to be disconnected from the field wiring. A novel fully protected slide-in scale card may be marked to clearly show the display units and meter function. Accessories include dual alarms


each with a changeover relay output,


an isolated 4/20mA output and an isolated 24V dc supply for powering a remote transmitter.


Although easy to configure and


calibrate on-site, BEKA says its meters can be supplied calibrated to customer's requirements including a printed scale card for no additional charge.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF PROCESS SAFETY IChemE’s process safety training gets a revamp


T


he Institution of Chemical Engineers’ (IChemE) flagship process safety training course, Fundamentals of Process Safety, has been


hugely popular since it first launched in 2007, having been delivered all over the world close to 100 times and to more than 1,000 delegates. Last year the course was completely reviewed and revised using the framework of the IChemE Safety Centre. IChemE believe that great performance in process safety is built on leadership across six functional areas. Leadership in process safety knowledge and competence is key. This underpins inherently safer engineering and design and robust safety systems supporting the upholding and continued evolution of systems and procedures for maintaining safer process operations. These are sustained by best practice in the assurance of process safety taking full account of the contribution of human factors, behaviours and external influences. These elements collectively shape the prevailing culture in the workplace and in society at large in order to build a common understanding of risk issues and to develop and utilise new ways for cost-effective and sustainable risk reduction in industry. This narrative runs through the revised course.


BLENDING THEORY AND PRACTICE Covering the process safety fundamentals in just five days is tough – inevitably we end up cutting content back, rather than trying to fill up the time. That is why IChemE offer further in-depth training on all of the subjects taught on the course, e.g. HAZOP, LOPA, human factors and


safety culture. The course maintains its blend of theory and practical activities and all delegates still undergo an assessment at the end of


the course to review their learning. However, there is now an extra emphasis on the need for participants to take ownership of their own CPD beyond the course, thinking about how they will apply the learning to their day-to-day work and what further learning might still be required. The course remains hugely popular as an in-company training option, with some organisations formally integrating the course into a wider staff training programme. The next Fundamentals of Process Safety course takes place on 16-20


October in Reading, UK. For further details and to book visit www.icheme.org/process-safety-uk
