Protection system HIPPS series

A High-Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) is a type of safety instrumented system (SIS) designed to prevent over-pressurization of a plant, such as gas, chemical plants or oil refineries. The HIPPS acts as a barrier between a high-pressure and a low-pressure section of an installation, shutting off the source of the high pressure before to exceed the design pressure of the system, thus preventing loss of containment through rupture (explosion) of the line or vessel.
