Replacement Alarm System Slips In Flawlessly
Keeping a manufacturing process safe is a critical factor in running a successful process plant. Ageing plants can put people and the environment at great risk by relying on old alarm systems that no longer meet current safety requirements, or are no longer able to be maintained.
When Shell Lubricants Stanlow in the UK needed to replace an ageing RIS process alarm system with IEC61508 SIL certified technology, they chose Omniflex to provide a replacement solution.
Shell Lubricants needed to replace their ageing RIS AN5100 alarm system that contained 560 process alarms, but were very concerned about plant downtime, as replacing such systems can be costly, mainly due to the plant downtime incurred during system change-over. The challenge was to replace the RIS AN5100 system without the need to touch existing field wiring or plant drawings. Copyright © 2017 Omniflex (Pty) Ltd, All rights reserved.

Connor Campbell, Regional Engineer said: "The new Omniflex system was designed and installed by their engineers seamlessly, to utilise the same racks and existing wiring without any issues at all"
Alan Hulse, Engineering Technician had this to say: "I was very impressed with the ease with which the system was installed while the plant was still operational"
Geoff Roberts, Engineering Technician also said: "I felt totally confident from the start working with the Omniflex engineers that the system would be designed and installed correctly, and they did not let me down. The whole project was a great success, on time, on budget with no issues"
