• Light conditions may not always be favourable to notice or track the leak
• Identifying the actual level in the product tank / sphere could be challenge using
conventional instrumentation
• Verifying that a Hazardous Product Tank/sphere is actually empty before
proceeding with Maintenance works on that

Digital Video Manager: Incident response
A PTZ Thermal Camera will Live video automatically
Critical alarm received from
automatically turn to the shown to the operator
gas-leak detector
alarm location

Automatic recording is started and


includes the events before the alarm
(pre-recording)

18
Integration with Process Control is critical
You can view the
recording using a popup
display directly from the
Alarm/Event Summary.

The Station can also be


configured to
automatically switch to
display live video for the
camera.

Experion alarms and events can activate recordings from the time say a Gas Leak
detector is activated.
In addition, a pre-record slice of video ( say, a duration of 2-5 mins) can also be saved
to help establish what preceded the incident as well as its consequences.

Abstract

A range of applications in varied industries demand a flexible approach -


from low-cost compliance options through to high end solutions
designed to maximize equipment uptime – without compromise on
safety. Honeywell has technologies and manufactures products that
meet local regulations & safety standards that cater to most needs in
Safety and Fire & Gas F&G systems.

New Gas detectors, Aspirated Smoke detection devices or Laser based


detectors are just some of the reliable devices that have come together
to improve safety in the process areas and associated buildings. This
paper will consider the methods of implementing a fire and gas detection
and protection system - standalone or integrated in the overall plant
automation concept focusing on examples of how the power of
integration through Experion PKS, Digital Video Manager, Safety
Manager, the Security system and the Notifier Fire Alarm Panel helps
organizations improve productivity, improving responsiveness to any
situation, reduce incidents or mitigate risks quicker.
