Hima-Sella to represent HIMA’s FlexSILon integrated protection and control solution for turbomachinery in the United Kingdom and Ireland
Stockport, United Kingdom – Specialist safety instrumentation systems provider Hima-Sella is to represent HIMA Paul Hildebrandt’s innovative turbomachinery control solution, FlexSILon, in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Developed in response to growing concerns over the safety of turbomachinery – such as gas and steam turbines (Read More)
– FlexSILon provides protection through features that include an integrated Overspeed Trip (OST) and vibration, axial shift, temperature and pressure monitoring. Control features include speed control, load sharing and steam distribution.
Eddy Turnock, Hima-Sella’s Sales & Marketing Director, comments: “Our relationship with HIMA Paul Hildebrandt dates back to 1983 since when we have been designing the company’s safety instrumented systems - such as HIMax, HIMatrix, HIQuad and Planar4 - into a variety of functional safety solutions both home and abroad. It is therefore a great pleasure to be representing FlexSILon too.”
The safety of rotating equipment is under increased scrutiny within the power generation sector and within several industrial applications where gas and steam turbines are employed. Safety standards such as IEC 61511, IEC 61508 and ISA84.00.01-2004 (and with which Hima-Sella is well-versed) are now being used to assist with reducing the risk of injury and damage to equipment.
Turnock concludes: “Meeting the safety standards also delivers the significant added bonus of greater up-time, higher plant productivity and, ultimately, improved profitability.”
