Paladon Systems selected to supply an actuator and control system for Larsen & Toubro’s High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS)
To be fitted to a 4” Class 1500 ESD ball valve, Paladon Systems has been awarded the contract for the supply of a hydraulic spring-return scotch-yoke actuator and remote mounted Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). The actuator and HPU will be integrated into a prototype SIL 3 certified HIPPS package designed to open the ESD valve in less than 4 seconds and close it in less than 1 second.
Paladon Systems Senior Sales Engineer Kalam Mohammad, “This is an exciting opportunity for Paladon Systems as this is the first time we’ve supplied an actuator and control system to Larsen & Toubro for a HIPPS application. The HIPPS has been designed in accordance with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) specifications and, following a successful trial period, we expect that Larsen & Toubro will standardise on Paladon Systems’ actuator and control system technology for use in future HIPPS applications.”
