Calculating and evaluating the Overall SIL

Prev Next

When all the Initiating Events and Barriers have been defined it is time to calculate and review the Overall SIL.

  • Click the calculate button.

    • Note: It will show red when a calculation is required.

  • Evaluate the Overall SIL to assess the adequacy of the existing or proposed Barriers against the Hazard Scenario.

  • If the Overall SIL for the Consequence is not acceptable, start a SIF Analysis and determine the SIF’s minimum required RRF, i.e., its Target PFD, that achieves an acceptable Overall SIL level. 

After calculation, review the Overall SIL.

 

Take Note

  • It is possible to batch calculate LOPAs. 

  • Recalculated SIFs will revert to Draft if the SIL level of the SIF Analysis changes or if a new version of the LOPA is created.

  • To perform a batch LOPA calculation, please contact Cenosco Support, as this feature is not yet available to the end user.
