1.2E-03

The PFDAVG for the system is calculated from the sum: PFDSYSTEM = = PFDS + PFDL + PFDFE 1.11E-05 + 3.80E-05 + 1.2E-03

= 1.3E-03

Referring to Table A.1 (Appendix) shows this is comfortably in the SIL 2 range (10-4 to < 10-2)

Design, Installation and Operational Considerations

In the case where redundant channels are used to support a voting configuration (1oo2 in the SIL 2 overfill protection system), the voting is implemented by simply wiring the relay contacts from the two STA. This ensures that a trip from either STA will de-energize the solenoid, as shown in Figure 4.
