Abstract

In this paper, IEC 61511 was used to evaluate the hazards and risks associated with the continuous operation of the hydrolysis reactor system in the copper-chlorine thermochemical hydrogen production cycle, with a specific focus on the application of automated active safety systems and safety integrated systems. The analysis presented herein was performed using a speculative but representative hydrolysis piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) for the hydrolysis reaction, which was based on currently published systems as well as experience with experimental hydrolysis reactors. This analysis was then used to inform the design of a set of automated safety systems that provide the redundant operation of critical devices and can bring the hydrolysis to a safe shutdown state if needed.
