Functional safety in the process industry

In the process industry, safety always comes first. Installations must operate reliably and in a controlled manner, even under extreme conditions. Functional Safety ensures that control and safety functions always perform as required, to protect people, the environment and installations.

Practical expertise in functional safety

Functional Safety calls for specialist knowledge, precision and dedication. At POWARE, we combine this expertise with our conviction that people make the difference. In this way, we deliver safe, reliable and future-proof processes every day. Our TÜV-certified consultants cover the entire functional safety lifecycle: from performing Hazard & Risk Analyses and drafting Safety Requirement Specifications (SRS) to determining and verifying Safety Integrity Levels (SIL). They design and implement Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) such as PLCs, DCSs and safety relays. In addition, through testing, validation and maintenance, they ensure these systems remain reliable over the long term.

POWARE’s role in projects 

Our consultants work with EPCs, Main Automation Contractors and end clients in (petro)chemicals, pharmaceuticals and the wider process industry. They support the creation of process & safety narratives, perform SIL calculations or deliver complete Safety Instrumented Systems. The result is a safe and reliable solution that complies with the relevant standards, such as IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
