aspects of fire and gas
detector placement

38
 SI-FGS Terms
Geographic Detector Coverage
 Is defined as the fraction of process area
where - if a fire of defined size / volume
occurs – the event is detectable by a given
sensor placement array (and voting logic if
automatic process actions are required)
 e.g. - 90% probability that 2ooN fire detectors will be capable
of sensing a given fire of a given intensity (e.g. 10 KW)

39
Copyright AE Solutions 2006
 SI-FGS Terms
Scenario Detector Coverage
Is defined as the fraction of fire hazard
scenarios that are detectable by a given
sensor placement array (and voting logic if
automatic process actions are required)
 e.g. - 90% probability that a fire hazard of given intensity
(e.g. 10 KW) will be detected by 2ooN fire detectors for a
given hazard scenario (e.g. flange fire)

40
Copyright AE Solutions 2006
 SI-FGS Terms

FGS Effectiveness
The Probability of Failure on Demand
(PFDavg ) associated with the FGS
Safety Instrumented Function
 This is the traditional PFDavg component calculated for
sensors / logic solver / and final elements for a given
architecture and test interval
 SIL target defined for the Fire Safety Functions

41
Copyright AE Solutions 2006
 SI-FGS Terms
Mitigation Effectiveness
The probability that the actions of the
final elements prevent small fire or
accumulation from escalating to a
large fire or accumulation.
 Examples of where the mitigation action may
not be 100% effective are as follows:
 Deluge does not completely put out the fire
 Isolation and / or bleed of pressure from the system is
not fast enough to prevent the accumulation due to the
leak from reaching the large catastrophic cloud size.
 Etc.

 Study Methodology
1. Prepare performance targets
2. Collect applicable drawings of equipment
installation
3. Survey the areas of interests w/ digital
photographs
4. Assess the performance of existing detection
using custom software
5. Identity gaps between ‘actual’ and ‘required’
performance
6. Propose measures to close these gaps

50
Copyright AE Solutions 2006
 Mapping Software
• The software that implements guidance is
Micropack’s FDA and GDA custom software
package.
• The process starts by converting a detector field
of view picture into a “2 ½ D software footprint”
taking account all obstructions shown in the
photograph.
• This footprint is overlaid onto a ‘graded’
equipment layout
• The resulting coverage is assessed using the
performance targets.

51
Copyright AE Solutions 2006
Grade Maps & Assessments
Notes : (Detection Scenarios)
1. The control and alarm target fires can be
'seen' by the flame detection system
2. Because the Grade B detection target
requires an alarm to a smaller fire size it is
possible for two detectors to respond to the
50Kw control action target while being
unable to respond to a smaller 10Kw alarm
fire target.
3. This case occurs when only one detector
can 'see' the fire - two detectors are
required for control action.
4. This case occurs when the detector is too
far from the hazards to 'see' the specified
target fire size. If the fire incident escalated
then the detector will respond
5. No detector can see this hazard and there
will be no response.

 Gas Detection Methodology
Process Areas
1. Specify category of Risk Volume (Open, Enclosed, Congested)
2. Specify dimensions of Explosion Hazard - Assume Stochiometric
Gas/Air mix
3. Assess existing detection coverage

4. If required, design detector layout to detect (2) above

Non-Hazardous Area Air Intakes

1. Establish Transit Time from the intake to the nearest potential ignition
source
2. Detector / HVAC closure response time to be less than (1) above
