SUMMARY:Common Fire and Gas Detector Design Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:The ISA Houston Section September Program Meeting will be held at TechnipFMC \nWhat We Will Cover \nCommon Fire and Gas Detector Guidelines \nHistorically\, fire and gas detector placement has been performed by experienced engineers using rules of thumb and expert judgement. Over the past few years\, detector placement has evolved into more of a quantitative science\, and less of an art. Experience with quantitative design techniques and advanced modeling has demonstrated that some of the historical rules of thumb actually result in very poor choices for detector locations. Modern fire and gas mapping and dispersion modeling allows for a much better understanding of the nature of gas clouds and fires that result from accidental loss of containment. All of the transport mechanisms\, including momentum effects and impingement on process equipment\, are included in these modern techniques. This discussion will include listing of some common rules of thumb for placing detectors and then explores those designs with modern modeling techniques to demonstrate the lack of accuracy in the design and explains why the rules of thumb got it wrong. \n \n(Speaker: James McGlone\, GICSP\, Chief Marketing Officer ) \nSpeaker Biography \nMr. McGlone is the Chief Marketing Officer of Kenexis. He has over 30 years of experience in the design\, development\, sales and life cycle management of industrial automation\, industrial software\, critical control systems\, measurement systems\, communications systems\, and networked embedded controllers. Jim has worked for major vendors to bring industrial and commercial products to market to solve automation and control challenges globally. \nMr. McGlone began his professional career as a production supervisor where he managed a printed circuit board manufacturing department and redesigning the department’s electromechanical systems\, measurement equipment\, workflow\, and processes to increase productivity and accuracy. \nMr. McGlone served as a multistate regional manager providing technical sales and support for industrial automation software. He became the global business development manager for Rockwell Automation’s software business and provided sales and support to Rockwell Automation’s largest global customers. Mr. McGlone developed a business to provide robust sustainability to industrial control systems and improved security. \nAs vice president sales and operations of Tridium\, a Honeywell subsidiary\, Mr. McGlone developed a technology-inside strategy focused on minimizing cost to serve to grow the business while optimizing logistics worldwide. As the acting general manager of the Asia Pacific business\, he developed the market in China\, Singapore\, Australia\, and South Korea.\nMr. McGlone has successfully managed industrial cybersecurity projects in the food\, oil & gas\, power generation\, and water industries as a Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional (GICSP) \nTicket Prices ($20.00 Member with RSVP and Non-Member $30.00) \n(Parking Info) \nAttendees should park on the first floor of the garage in visitor parking then proceed to the TechnipFMC reception desk on the first floor of the building (Energy Tower II ET2) for a name tag. Please wait to be escorted to the meeting room.

SUMMARY:Industrial Cybersecurity: If it isn’t SECURE\, it isn’t SAFE
DESCRIPTION:Process hazard assessments (PHA) are a well-established practice in process safety management.  These assessments focus on failures (aka deviations) that are typically caused by equipment failures or human error.  By design\, PHAs do not consider cyber threats to industrial control systems (ICS).  However\, cyber threats represent additional failure modes that may lead to the same health\, safety and environmental consequences identified in the PHA.  Functional safety (i.e. ISA 84 / IEC 61511) and industrial cybersecurity standards (i.e. ISA/IEC 62443) recognize this issue and provide guidance on how to integrate these two disciplines to ensure that cyber incidents cannot impact process safety.  This presentation will discuss the guidance provided in industry standards regarding ICS cyber risk assessments (aka Cyber PHA) and the benefits and business justification for performing them. \nMarco Ayala\nProcess hazard assessments (PHA) are a well-established practice in process safety management.  These assessments focus on failures (aka deviations) that are typically caused by equipment failures or human error.  By design\, PHAs do not consider cyber threats to industrial control systems (ICS).  However\, cyber threats represent additional failure modes that may lead to the same health\, safety and environmental consequences identified in the PHA.  Functional safety (i.e. ISA 84 / IEC 61511) and industrial cybersecurity standards (i.e. ISA/IEC 62443) recognize this issue and provide guidance on how to integrate these two disciplines to ensure that cyber incidents cannot impact process safety.  This presentation will discuss the guidance provided in industry standards regarding ICS cyber risk assessments (aka Cyber PHA) and the benefits and business justification for performing them.
