Best practice management of industrial process control alarm floods
This report aims to determine recommendations for best practices in managing alarm floods in real time under all operating conditions, by identifying the underlying attributes and purpose of an alarm, including human factors impacting the alarm management system. Alarm floods are introduced in the context of process control systems. Three standards and two companies were investigated to assess control systems technology, alarm philosophy, alarm flood management techniques and alarm flood control.
Analysis methods have been developed using standard software to compare company alarm performance against industry standards EEMUA Publication 191, ISA 18.2 and IEC-62682. The investigations and alarm data analysed identified improvement areas in the alarm standards lifecycle stage âmonitoring and assessmentâ. Analysis proved high frequency alarms corrupt data and performance measurements therefore require timely identification, repair, replacement and or removal. Alarm priority distribution analysis identified a tendency for alarms to be assigned high priority, averaging 5 to 6 times the standard percentage limit. Causing stress on operatorâs to respond faster than a low priority alarm require. Analysing unspecified performance areas for time periods between alarm annunciation, acknowledgment and returning to normal, identified a potential 30% reduction in alarm rates through targeted suppression, certain alarms for tuning, repair or review and contributes to the assessment of alarm manageability and operator work rate.
Continuously assessing all alarm performance areas specified in the standards will identify areas necessary to improve alarm performance, inversely increase profits and reduce exposing companies and public to undue hazards and risk
