Over the past decade, PLCs have now been able to bridge certain gaps within process and control systems that were capabilities only typically found within DCS environments. This paper will provide an overview of various control system strategies and design considerations with regard to both PLC and DCS schemes within petrochemical applications.","PeriodicalId":276673,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127959242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standard requirements have become more stringent and prescriptive. Understanding of development and propagation of lightning has grown with the advent of 3-D detection systems. This is Part 1 of a 3-part primer on lightning protection systems for petrochemical production, storage, and processing facilities. Part 1 covers the basic science behind lightning strikes, and the history of lightning research, protection systems, and models of attachment. The purpose of this paper, and the primer series, is to update the design and operating engineer’s knowledge of lightning protection at petrochemical facilities, and to increase the safety of these facilities to workers and equipment.","PeriodicalId":276673,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132387459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
