Development of a strategy for alarm management in petroleum refinery

该项目是NARL Refining LP和Memorial**University之间报警管理项目的延伸。在该项目的第一阶段，由NSERC Engage资助，开发了一个报警分析工具“AlarmSoft”。该项目的目标是进一步开发该工具，以整合分析警报根本原因 ** 的功能，并将警报分析工具集成到NARL的整体警报管理策略中。** 新开发的报警管理方法将在 ** 炼油厂的原油蒸馏装置中实施，并评估其对报警系统的影响。通过这个项目，我们希望开发一个先进的报警分析工具和报警管理方法，这是有效的，从一个 ** 应用点可行。警报管理系统的改进有可能将工厂的生产率提高3- 5%。除了直接使NARL受益外，该项目还将对技术开发做出重大贡献。目前在过程工业中缺乏经过现场测试的报警管理软件。新一代报警管理系统有潜力发展成为一个 ** 适销对路的产品，可以增加加拿大经济的显着收入。这将使加拿大的石油和天然气工业更安全，并拯救生命。

This project is an extension of an alarm management project between NARL Refining LP and Memorial**University. In the first phase of the project, funded by NSERC Engage, an alarm analysis tool "AlarmSoft" was**developed. The goal of the project is to further develop the tool to incorporate features to analyze the root cause**of an alarm, and integrate the alarm analysis tool to the overall alarm management strategy of NARL. The**newly developed alarm management methodology will be implemented to the crude distillation unit of the**refinery and its impact on the alarm system will be evaluated. Through this project we hope to develop an**advanced alarm analysis tool and an alarm management methodology that is efficient as well, feasible from an**application point. Improvement in the alarm management system has the potential of improving the**productivity of the plant by 3-5%. It addition to benefiting NARL directly, this project will contribute**significantly to technology development. There is currently a lack of field tested alarm management software in**the process industries. The new generation alarm management system has the potential to be developed as a**marketable product which can add significant revenue to Canadian economy. It will make Canadian Oil & Gas**industries safer, and save lives.
