SPAS Safety made easy

In the oil and gas industry, lack of control over safety-critical equipment can have serious consequences. From unexpected downtime and increased costs to the risk of personal injury and regulatory violations. Multiple players, fragmented systems and manual processes that make it difficult to maintain an overview. SPAS has been developed to solve precisely these challenges, and is a user-friendly tool that gives you control, overview and security in demanding environments.

What is SPAS?

SPAS is a software application that livestream data from a Safety and Automation System (SAS) on an industrial plant. Through analysis of these data, the application validates operations of safety equipment as valves, breakers, pumps, fire dampers, generators, etc. to verify if the safety functions are intact, or if there are signs of degradation under development to identify any impaired safety functions. SPAS also include functionality for several other functions and analyzes, as described further below.

Improve safety

Key safety at a glance

SPAS have analysis functions for early detection of plant’s impaired safety functions and presents this to the users in an efficient manner, allowing corrections to be implemented before demands on the degraded safety functions.

Periodic safety analysis.

Analysis of equipment fault, process demands, and use of safety overrides is required to maintain functional safety. SPAS provides the tools to assist these analyses in an efficient manner.

Automated proof test verification.

CMMS programs for proof tests of safety functions are subject to modifications. SPAS continuously verifies that CMMS has active proof test programs for all actuated safety equipment, at the correct intervals.

Verification of test compliance.

Checking intervals and applied methods is crucial for verifying intact safety functionality and compliance with governing requirements. SPAS functionality enables easy user verification with minimal effort.

Increase maintenance efficiency – save costs

When safety equipment is operated successfully within the last half test interval, SPAS provide the analysis records required to utilize this as proof tests. Spurious trip records can be utilized as proof tests, and consequently save significant maintenance hours.

SPAS provide continuously updated status for which equipment needs to be proof tested during a planned revision stop and have features for identifying status of equipment forming part of isolation barriers, i.e., equipment with limited available time for testing purposes prior to production startup. Consequently, production downtime can be reduced without losing control of the proof test status.

SPAS can retrieve data from several systems to allow that the user have the right data at hand in the various contexts and presented in an intuitive manner. This enables the user to work in an efficient manner when monitoring the status of the plant’s safety equipment and planning for periodic or corrective work.
