Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-00833, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Imtiaz, Syed (Memorial University of Newfoundland), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Newfoundland and Labrador|Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Alarm systems are at the heart of any safety system. A well designed and calibrated alarm system can detect_x000D_
any abnormal situation in the plant early on, enunciate the abnormality, and reduce the number and severity of_x000D_
abnormal situations. The goal of this research is to determine the root cause of alarm overload in a Crude Unit_x000D_
of a petroleum refinery, and implement advanced alarm management system to improve the safety, reliability_x000D_
and productivity of the unit. Risk based and event based alarm management system will be implemented on the_x000D_
crude unit of the refinery. Besides making the plant safe and sustainable, it is estimated that through reduction_x000D_
of abnormal situations the refinery can save directly about CAD 3 MM per year. It addition to benefiting the_x000D_
plant directly, this project will contribute significantly to technology development. The new generation alarm_x000D_
management system has the potential to be developed as a marketable product both home and abroad, thus_x000D_
contribute to the Canadian economy. Finally, the newly developed alarm management tool will make process_x000D_
industries safer, and save lives., program purpose french : Alarm systems are at the heart of any safety system. A well designed and calibrated alarm system can detect_x000D_
