Description

Emergency Shutdown Systems are designed to reduce the consequences of emergency from causing unsafe incidents. When an emergency occurs, it is extremely essential to shut down the facility to a safe state thereby protecting personnel, environment or assets. For a process controller, it includes an emergency shutdown valve and a valve actuator. In case of an emergency, the controller will send a signal to the ESD valve, which responds to the ESD controller to vent the actuator to a fail state. It should involve a proper detection and alarming system for identifying deviations from present limits. Lastly, it should ensure that there is no repeated start of facilities until the cause of shutdown is dealt with.

Market Dynamics

The Emergency Shutdown Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% over the period to reach USD 1457 million by the end of 2020.
