The propagation of faults in process plants: 5. Fault tree synthesis for a butane vaporiser system
journal contribution
posted on 2008-11-17, 15:30 authored by J.S. Mullhi, M.L. Ang, Francis P. Lees, J.D. AndrewsAn interactive, computer-based facility, FAULTFINDER, has been
developed for fault tree synthesis. The modelling of fault propagation, fault
tree synthesis, the interactive facility and its application to a pump changeover
sequence have been described in four earlier papers. This paper describes the
application of FAULTFINDER to the construction of a fault tree for a
butane vaporising system. The results are compared with those achieved by
the manual digraph method of fault tree construction. It is shown that
FAULTFINDER is capable of generating logically consistent and structured
trees for a process system comprising control and trip loops.
