Safety and the quality of the products that make up “safety integrated systems” go hand in hand

Safety Integrity Level(SIL) requirements are prevalent in Europe and increasing in the rest of the world. What are the implications for modern refinery reactor temperature instrumentation, specifically design and ongoing verification caused by SIL requirements? Why simply buying a product with a SIL compatible certificate may not actually get you to the SIL level that you require and keep you there.

Inline Analyzers and their Applications in Chemical Industries.

Modern industries face many challenges to remain profitable in the value upgrading of bulk and fine chemicals. Adherence to Industry 4.0 and Sustainable Chemistry principles are more than ever vital in taking on these challenges. A key aspect of these are the use of inline analyzers and their intelligent automation abilities. Inline opportunities in numerous applications will be discussed as well as their best practices. Examples include distillation columns and separation units, scrubbers and strippers, reaction vessels, and auxiliary processes such as waste-water treatment and Co-generation facilities. Through the applications, measurement opportunities for pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, and gas analyzers will be considered.

Yes You Can – Dream Big & Dreams Do Come True

Dreams do come true and Wes Harding from Sarnia, Ontario, has proven that “anything is possible!” Wes has gone from a non-runner, overweight couch potato at the age 40 to a six time Boston Marathon qualifier and three-time Ironman finisher all in eight years. Losing 80 pounds in the process Wes’ life changing attitude came after watching a YouTube video on Team Hoyt (a father who pushes his paralyzed son with Cerebral Palsy in road races and triathlons) entitled “CAN”. This father/son team inspired Wes to start “making a difference” in his own life and in the lives of others.
For the past six years Wes has been chosen one of two Canadians to represent Team Hoyt in the Boston Marathon. As a motivational speaker Wes inspires and encourages others to “dream big” and that “dreams do come true”. His message, like the Hoyt’s motto, is “Yes, You Can”! As a non runner Wes’ dream was to qualify for the Boston Marathon and in April 2012, after overcoming insurmountable odds, that dream came true. In April 2013, Wes co-authored his first book entitled, “Destined To Run” (with Todd Civin, forward by Dick Hoyt and Published by Mascot books). “Destined To Run” is more than a story about running, it is a book about chasing after your dreams.
As a result of being in the heart of the Boston Marathon 2013 bombings Wes, seeing the Hoyts example, saw the need to make a change in his life that included others. He left his career course as an educator of twenty years and started up Canada’s first athletic ride-along organization created for those with disabilities who would normally not be able to experience endurance events such as triathlons or road races which is now called Team Hoyt Canada. The mission of Team Hoyt Canada is to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities through running together. After hearing Wes speak you will be motivated to say, “I CAN” do the impossible and “I CAN” make a difference.

The Increasing Emergence of Wireless Devices in the Refining and Petrochemical Industry

Replacing or eliminating cables with wireless technology has many attractive features; however there is still an ongoing debate with respect to the level within the control hierarchy (open loop and closed loop) at which this technology will be implemented.
Open Loop Applications deliver data that is less Process Critical and have been accepted using wireless technology.
Closed Loop Applications are Process Critical and have still not been accepted using wireless technology. (There are closed loop wireless applications running in parallel to the wired loop to measure performance.)The purpose of this presentation is to present the availability of wireless technologies for open loop applications within the process plant environment. The presentation will address both proprietary and standards-based technologies and the selection criteria for choosing the correct technology that meets the needs of plant functionality and cyber security, with a focus on practical usage in rigorous and varied environmental conditions while maintaining a level of reliability, integrity, safety, maintainability and security (equivalent to a hard-wired system. When discussing wireless systems and their design and implementation in any industrial application, there are some very important issues that need to be addressed:

How the technology can affect the existing legacy systems.
The physical layer interface (I/O signals, Ethernet, serial, etc.) and Industrial protocol support (e.g. Modbus) that enable existing applications to be expanded without modification.
The cost per loop and support/maintenance requirements of an installed wireless network.
Speed, data volume, latency, and a level of redundancy that is compatible with plant operational requirements.

Speaker

Cathy MacLellan

As a graduate in Health Studies (University of Waterloo, B.Sc. Co-op, 1985) Cathy intuitively sees the connections between food, air, energy, water quality and human health. This background has informed much of her life.
Cathy and her husband Ian, started out in Waterloo but have lived in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and for the past 20 years, have been back in Waterloo. They have three children, Alistair, Peter and Christina.
In 1996 they began to shift their entrepreneurial work to solar energy companies, after Ian assisted on the project to install solar at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Cathy and Ian were one of the first in Canada to install a grid tied solar energy system on their home in 2001. Passion about making solar energy a mainstream electricity generator has fueled the creation of a few companies, including ARISE Technologies, which built a solar cell plant in Germany in 2006. Ubiquity Solar, a solar materials company, is creating a pilot plant in Sarnia to further develop and commercialize a process to produce hyper pure silicon for the solar energy industry.
