InertoSafe SIL 2

+ SIL 2-certified according to EN 61511

+ ATEX-certified components
+ Suitable for all kinds of vessel
+ DCS independent inertisation system with integrated logic
+ Low maintenance

Key functions
The InertoSafe SIL 2 inertisation system provides a safe and inert
environment inside any vessel. After an initial purging process the
system changes to a pressure conservation mode for maximum
safety. The system is based on pressure monitoring and is
therefore failsafe and virtually maintenance free.

Applications which require inert vessels to eliminate the risk of

explosion often demand increased safety measures for the entire
system. InertoSafe SIL 2 is certified SIL 2 according to
EN61511-1 and therefore suitable for any application requiring
failsafe control. InertoSafe SIL 2 is designed to operate with any
kind of primary control system. InertoSafe SIL 2 provides a highly
integrated and failsafe system. Two dual channel safety contacts
are provided for external safety stop functions.
