WHAT IS HAZARD DETECTION MAPPING?
ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE MODELLING
Hazard identification
Define escalation potential
Performance definition
Mitigation actions
Review detector contributions
What detectors will respond to the hazard?
Where should the detectors be positioned?
Apply detection thresholds to equipment
Define voting
Device placement & area of influence
Coverage
Detector contributions
How many detectors are needed?
How can I be sure the area of concern is protected to an acceptable level?

BS60080:2020HAZARD DETECTION MAPPING
New standard provides guidance on the placement of permanently installed detection devices using software tools and other techniques. The standard is intended to be applied to applications where: a) optical flame detection is used as a means
of detecting flaming fires in internal and external environments
b) a gas detection system is used as a method of explosion protection
c) the hazard arises from the release or accumulation of explosive gases and vapours;
d) the hazard arises from the release or accumulation of toxic gases

Energy Industry -O&G, refining, petrochem, power generation, energy from waste, tank farms, biomass, LNG & LPG
Pharmaceutical & Chemical Plants
Manufacturing, Production & Service Providers – Automotive, food & beverage, printing, warehouse/storage
Aviation - Aircraft Hangars
Waste Recycling
• Age old question in Fire and Gas (F&G) detection is: ‘How many detectors do I need, and where do I put them?’
• Relevant in applications where traditional detection codes are not applicable
• How do we address target fire sizes and gas clouds of concern which can reliably, and verifiably, be detected?
• Shell and BP pioneered in company specific practices in the Oil and Gas Industry
• In 2005, the concept of F&G Mapping is introduced to the ISA84 committee, later resulting in ‘ISA TR84.00.07 Guidance on the Effectiveness of Fire and Gas Detection’
• ISA takes a unique direction to F&G Mapping, not wholly embraced globally, specifically in UK

FIRE & GAS MAPPINGGAP IN THE MARKET
• ISA TR84.00.07 struggles for uniform application. Confusion in how to apply it resulting in inconsistency of design.
• A British Standard was proposed as the solution specifically for British Industry. • The standard provides guidance on how and where to apply the various methods focused
entirely on practicalities associated with F&G, and places emphasis on competence when applying such an analysis.

BS60080:2020F&G MAPPING TECHNIQUES – FLAME DETECTION
• Flame Detection Coverage – Chessboard Analogy
• Is percentage coverage a useful metric in isolation?
• For example:• An area with 70% coverage may be
adequate in comparison with an area with 90% coverage which is deemed inadequate.
• Adequacy is dependent upon:• Percentage coverage• Nature of blind spots• Detection technology• Flame Characteristics• Etc…

• Primary Considerations• Escalation potential• Target gas cloud size• Prescriptive/ performance

(volumetric vs scenario)• Environmental impacts• False alarms, set points and

• ‘Grid’ or cloud based
• Detection technology• Environmental impacts• False alarms, set points and voting• Assessment of coverage adequacy• Change management
BS60080:2020F&G MAPPING – TOXIC GAS DETECTION
EXAMPLE STUDY PROCESSFIRE AND GAS MAPPING
Define Project Rules
• F&G Philosophy / Standard to be used
• Define Performance Targets
• Gather site / process specific information
17
Hazard Assessment
• Identify areas of concern
• Identify hazard / risk scenarios
• Determine consequences
First Pass Design
• Grade Process Equipment Based on Risk
• Add Detectors
Performance Verification
• Verify Detector Coverage
• Relocate / Add Devices until design meets Performance Targets
• Engineering review of adequacy based on risk analysis
Produce Report
• Publish report with recommendations.

SUMMARYBS60080: HAZARD DETECTION MAPPING
Conclusions:• Making the decision between prescriptive and
performance based design• Covers heat, flame, flammable gas and toxic gas detection• Software is not always required – proportionality crucial• Applicable to various facilities – not only process/ O&G• Standard provides a guide to assist decision making at
each stage of the lifecycle• Worked example in Appendices
