IntegrityManager™ Software for Liquids HCA
Product Description
Emerson’s (formerly GeoFields™) IntegrityManager™ Software for Liquids HCA (formerly RiskFrame™ Liquids HCA Software) accurately locates pipeline segments in liquid high consequence areas (LHCAs). This advanced solution uses proximity buffering to determine where the pipeline is in close proximity to LHCAs and provides insights for localized and immediate impacts. The software takes the level of impact along with the type of impact into consideration, providing a thorough, conservative and justifiable approach to impact modeling. The results include comprehensive analysis and in-depth documentation, including placement of all results on the map and on detailed integrity sheets as stationed impact segments, enabling companies to confidently mitigate risk while maintaining safer pipeline operations.
Features
- Proximity buffering functionality to accurately determine the effect of an immediate and localized impact to an HCA.
- Designate potential release points along the pipeline, evenly spaced at a high density and supplemented with significant terrain features, such as water crossings.
- Model potential release volumes along the pipeline with consideration for terrain (pooling in valleys) as well as additional volumes that could be released due to other factors such as surge pressure.
- The Wave-front Overland Spread™ feature provides sophisticated spill analysis that accounts for wave fronts, pooling in low points, spreading in multiple directions, and leaving a residual volume.
- Advanced hydrological transport modeling provides an accurate analysis of the path a release would take in a surface water system by determining the complex interactions between stream segments, lakes, etc.
- Detailed reporting includes integrity alignment sheets that directly relate to the map and indicate the segments with potential to impact an HCA. These segments appear as red bars and are organized by HCA type.
