High-Integrity Pressure
Protection System (HIPPS)

Dependable pressure protection for downstream systems

HIPPS

Dependable pressure protection for downstream systems
When operating in high-pressure
environments and production
fields, an overpressure event can
cause damage to the environment,
infrastructure, and personnel.
Mitigating that risk on production
wells and flowlines is a challenge
that can be met with a HIPPS.
A HIPPS is designed and built
in accordance with IEC 61508
and IEC 61511 standards. These
international standards refer
to safety functions and safety
instrumented systems when

01

discussing a solution to protect
equipment, personnel, and
environment. A system that
closes the source of overpressure
within the required timeframe and
incorporates redundancy within
the initiators (pressure sensors),
logic solver, and final elements
(shutdown valves) with at least
the same reliability as a safety
relief valve is usually identified as
a HIPPS.

Hydraulic HIPPS
The hydraulic (mechanical) HIPPS provides a self-contained, independent
protection system operated on demand with one-out-of-two (1oo2) or
two-out-of-three (2oo3) (voting) pressure sensor inputs, a hydraulic logic
solver, and two spring-return hydraulically actuated safety valves. The unit is
typically self powered and can be provided with additional real-time controls
via a hydraulic power unit (HPU). This pressurizes the system and opens the
safety shutdown valves. The system remains open (armed) until an abnormal
condition is detected. If an abnormal condition is detected, then the system
closes the two actuated final element valves, protecting the downstream
production or facility.

Electronic HIPPS
The electronic HIPPS is a self-contained, independent system operated on
demand with 1oo2 or 2oo3 (voting) pressure transmitter inputs, an electronic
logic solver, and two spring-return hydraulically actuated safety valves. The
unit can be self powered with a manual hand pump or HPU and can also
be configured to operate using facility power sources. This pressurizes the
system and opens the safety shutdown valves. The system remains open until
an abnormal condition is detected. If such an event is detected, the system
closes the two actuated final element valves, protecting the downstream
production or facility.

The primary function of HIPPS is to detect high-pressure conditions and close
isolation valves to protect lower-rated downstream infrastructure. The system
operates autonomously and is independent of the facilities’ process shutdown
(PSD), emergency shutdown (ESD), or control systems. HIPPS are fail-close by
design based on the signal of an overpressure event and can be configured to
operate on other events, such as a loss of motive power of instrument signal.
It is typically fail-close for any loss of instrument air, hydraulic power, electric
power, or instrument signals. Each HIPPS loop is independent. A HIPPS is
designed with redundant safety functions to reduce the risk of failure on
demand and to maximize availability.

Safety Instrumented Systems
A safety instrumented system (SIS) prevents or reduces hazardous events by taking a process to a safe
state when predetermined conditions are met. An SIS can be an ESD, safety interlock system, or safety
shutdown system. Each SIS has one or more safety instrumented functions (SIFs).

Advantages

Each SIF loop is a combination of logic solvers, sensors, solenoids, and final control elements, such as an
automated valve. Every SIF within an SIS will have a safety integrity level (SIL), which is a measure of the
system performance in terms of probability of failure on demand (PFD). These SIL levels may be the same
or may differ depending on the process. An entire system does not need to have the same SIL level for
each safety function.

The Cameron HIPPS is an independently instrumented system designed with
higher integrity compared with PSD and ESD systems. Suitable for onshore
and offshore installations requiring high-integrity pressure protection of
downstream systems, a HIPPS is used to prevent a system from exceeding its
rated pressure level. The Cameron HIPPS is SIL 3 certified and incorporates
our field-proven valves and actuators, such as the FLS* extreme service
API 6A slab-style gate valve and GROVE* valves. Pneumatic and hydraulic
actuators, such as the Saf-T-Gard* MH Series hydraulic piston actuators and
LEDEEN* actuators, are supplied. A HIPPS is considered the barrier between
the high- and low-pressure sections of an installation or production facility.
The HIPPS combines Cameron products into an independent, stand-alone
system for any application within the oil and gas industry. Cameron provides
the systems in a variety of configurations, including mechanical and electronic
standalone packages.

Each Cameron HIPPS includes two ESD valves (final elements), a logic solver, and pressure
transmitters arranged in a configuration that fits individual applications.

08

API 6D Quarter-Turn Actuators
LEDEEN actuators
Consistent engineering design and efficient modular assembly
of LEDEEN actuators increases operational flexibility. The
low-pressure-air, high-pressure-gas, and hydraulic products
enable on-demand double-acting, spring-fail close-open or
manual override operations. This feature maintains product
consistency throughout any project requirement, regardless
of valve size, class, actuator supply medium, pressure, or
actuator function requirements. In addition, the consistent
design provides a significant reduction in the quantity of
recommended spare parts and seal kits, which reduces costs
within maintenance programs.

pressure classes. Split-body construction enables using forged materials in various grades of carbon, stainless, and high-alloy steel, which
equips the valves for some of the most severe service conditions. Top-entry valves facilitate maintenance, even when the valves are welded in

API 6A Gate Valves
FL and FLS gate valves
The FL* API 6A slab-style gate valve and FLS extreme service API 6A slabstyle gate valve feature a forged body and are readily adapted to multiple
actuator designs. The FL gate valve is available in nominal sizes ranging
from 21/16 in to 41/8 in and working pressures from 2,000 to 5,000 psi
[13.8 to 34.5 MPa]. The FLS gate valve is available in nominal sizes ranging
from 113/16 in to 11 in and working pressures from 2,000 to 20,000 psi
[137.9 MPa]. The FLS gate valve is the standard valve for critical
requirements, including extreme sour gas applications.

■■

Lip seals—The FL gate valve incorporates one lip seal, and the FLS gate
valve incorporates two lip seals between the seat and body. The lip seals
are spring-loaded and include pressure-energized, nonelastomeric seals
that assist in low-pressure sealing and protect against intrusion of particle
contaminants into the body cavity and seal areas.

Advantages
■■

■■

■■

13

Bidirectional sealing—The FL gate valve has a symmetrical, bidirectional
design without a preferred direction of operation. The seal diameters and
bearing areas of the seats are designed to prevent trapping of pressure
inside the valve cavity.
Metal-to-metal sealing—The FL gate valve features bonnet, gate-to-seat,
and seat-to-body seals, which all include metal-to-metal sealing.
Reliability through streamlined design—One-piece floating seats and a
floating slab gate provide reliable performance due to the simplicity of
operation and a minimum number of sealing interfaces. Cavity clearances
are carefully controlled to limit the amount of float needed, and special
modified acme threads at the gate-to-stem interface provide sufficient
freedom of movement in all directions to affect a positive downstream seal.

M Saf-T-Seal gate valve
The M Saf-T-Seal* API 6A power-actuated fullbore through-conduit gate valve
delivers leading sealing performance across a wide range of conditions.
This gate valve is available in sizes from 21/16 in to 41/16 in, with pressure
ratings from 2,000 to 5,000 psi, and with either flanged or threaded
connections. The M Saf-T-Seal gate valve is available in trims for most types of
oilfield service, including sour gas and API 6A SSV Class I and II applications.
The valve can be fitted with a Cameron pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric
actuator or with non-Cameron actuators.
