Safety and reliability are critical factors in designing Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) and the fire and gas detection and protection systems, ABB offers single, dual or triple redundant safety systems that are suitable for new fields.
These systems bring production facilities and refinery units to a safe state after an unpredictable hazardous event, and maintain that state until other-wise commanded. Whatever the cause for operating abnormalities, ABB safety systems are designed to consistently and automatically protect personnel, environment and equipment. ABB safety systems do not take false or unnecessary actions, rather the system accelerates the process in which the plant will return to its normal operating state.
