HIPPS

HIPPS is the acronym for High Integrity Pressure Protection System. Main function of HIPPS is an independently instrum whose function is to protect an installation from the overpressure produced in the high pressure part of the same, isol pressure part from it.

Idea of HIPPS is to be used instead of traditional safety systems such as relief devices with four main advantages:

Environment protection: relief systems release the service fluid to the atmosphere which while HIPPS avoid flui released out of the system keeping the environment free of emissions.

HIPPS have to be a safety level equal or higher than the traditional relief methods; calculated safety levels show to be ten times more reliable than traditional methods.

Creating a frontier between two parts of the installation allows the downstream part of the valves of the HIPP lower pressure and therefore, to reduce the cost of pipes and related pressure equipments installed on that part.
