Question: 4 7 . Consider a LOPA scenario where a temperature control loop failure is the initiating event, the time at risk is 0 . 2
Consider a LOPA scenario where a temperature control loop failure is the initiating event, the time at risk is and an operator is always present during operation. The final event is an overpressure that leads to a catastrophic vessel failure. Safeguards present are a properly sized pressure relief valve, a pressure control loop that closes the same steam valve that the temperature control loop operates, and a pressure control loop that operates from the same pressure sensor but opens a vent valve from the vessel. Remembering that not all safeguards are necessarily IPLs, what is the final event frequency for the scenario?
