About the Webinar:
Workload Reduction via Pipeline Leak Detection & LDS Technologies: A US Compliance Perspective
July 29, 2020 (09:00 a.m. CDT | 16:00 CEST)
Hosted by NuGen Automation and KROHNE
Emerging innovation in technology, including advanced leak detection systems (LDS), now allow pipeline operators to achieve higher benchmarks in efficiency while still participating within the industry’s shared objective of achieving zero incidents.
Regulations issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) play an essential role in achieving this objective by educating pipeline operators in alarm management and its impact on controller fatigue, and, in particular, workload management.
While controller workload is a blend of multiple factors, a critical influence on workload involves leak detection alarms, a component that is often overlooked.
False leak detection alarms initiate protocols that can cause immediate operational stoppage and, as a result, drastically increase controller workload and fatigue. Over time, this can have a weighted impact on an operator’s control room management load.
By considering Control Room Management (CRM) regulations for alarm management and their relationship with fatigue and workload management, along with the available interpretations and applications via new technologies, pipeline operators (both in the US and globally) may find that there are avenues available that not only may reduce workload, but also provide strategic cost savings to produce a more safety-conscious environment within control operations.
Featured panelists to include:
- Dr. Whitney Vandiver, Compliance Specialist, NuGen Automation
- Jere Guillory, Head of Compliance, NuGen Automation
- Maximillian Ihring, Product Manager, KROHNE Group
