Title
Process Control Systems Part 1—Process Control Systems Functions and Functional Specification Development
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2007
Scope:
This Recommended Practice addresses the processes required to
successfully implement Process Control Systems for refinery and
petrochemical services. The major topics addressed are:
- The basic functions that a Process Control System may
need to perform, and recommended methodologies for determining the
functional and integration requirements for a particular
application.
- Practices to select and design the installation for hardware
and software required to meet the functional and integration
requirements.
- Project organization, skills and management required to execute
a process control project and then to own and operate a Process
Control System.
Figure 1 shows the general overall scope of refinery control and
automation functions and the portions of which this recommended
practice addresses.
The second edition of API RP 554 has been prepared by a
collaborative effort of the API Subcommittee on Instrumentation and
Control Systems and the PIP (Process Industries Practices) Process
Control Function Team. As such, the general scope of the material
contained has been expanded to cover general industrial process
control topics that are applicable to both refineries and
petrochemical facilities. (PIP is a consortium of owner and
engineering/construction contractor companies whose purpose is to
produce a set of harmonized engineering standards in a variety of
discipline areas, including process control.)
Although the scope has been extended beyond traditional refining
services, the user is cautioned to fully consider the requirements
of the particular applications and circumstances that may exist and
carefully apply the concepts described in this recommended practice
as appropriate. This document is not intended to present a tutorial
on the subjects discussed, but rather to aid the reader in
identifying and understanding the basic concepts of Process Control
Systems. The references provided within the document direct the
reader to publications that describe one or more subjects in
greater detail than is necessary or desirable for the purposes of
this document.
