Release to atmosphere or flare is often unacceptable, especially in urban areas, and situations exist in high-pressure or large flow pipelines that necessitate alternative strategies.
Designed as an instrumented safety system, a high-integrity pressure protection system, or HIPPS, deals with over-pressure safely, and without release of pipeline contents to atmosphere. Instead, the HIPPS system stops the inflow of excess fluids and contains them within the system itself.
HIPPS ensures the protection of your people and equipment in environments with high-pressure pipelines or when high flow rates are being processed in a pipeline.
