The Need
Thaioil is one of Thailand’s leading integrated petroleum and petrochemical companies. The company’s primary business activities include crude oil refining, petroleum product manufacturing, and the production and distribution of petrochemical products.
Thaioil derived value for their Instrumentation Operations from Cenosco with SIFPro, the predecessor of IMS SIS. SIFPro software proved indispensable for Thaioil by streamlining SIL calculations, LOPA design, and hazard identification. With centralized data and automated calculations, it further enhanced decision-making regarding safety measures and risk management. It also contributed to resource savings through improved efficiency and reliability.
IMS SIS, Cenosco’s comprehensive cloud-based tool supports the complete safety lifecycle management process.
“SIFpro facilitated our safety analysis and risk management processes with its preconfigurable features for efficient SIL calculation and PFD assessments. The integration of this data with our CMMS boosted reliability. Through periodic SIF revisits, SIFpro helped us to address hazards, strengthen safety measures, and reduce risks.”

The Result
Below we explore in further depth the support that Cenosco’s software brought to Thaioil in the different areas they identified.
Streamlined SIL Calculation and LOPA Design Workflow
The implementation of SIFpro enhanced Thaioil’s SIL calculation and LOPA design workflow. By replacing manual calculations with pre-configurable features, significant time savings were achieved. The software’s ability to calculate Proof Test frequencies and integrate them into their CMMS improved safety barrier reliability. The centralized database promoted better collaboration and consistency in safety analysis across Thaioil.
Improved Safety Levels and Hazard Identification
SIFpro has played a crucial role in enhancing safety levels and identifying potential hazards in Thaioil’s processes. By regularly evaluating high-risk SIFs, Thaioil assesses the adequacy of safety barriers and their compliance with required PFD standards. The software’s table format and PFD calculation features have been invaluable, enabling Thaioil to comprehensively analyze safety risks and make well-informed decisions to enhance safety measures.
Enhanced Decision-making and Resource Savings
SIFpro’s impact on Thaioil’s decision-making process regarding safety measures and risk management has been significant. By providing a user-friendly interface and valuable features such as import functionality for tag creation, the software has empowered teams to work simultaneously, facilitating efficient SIL verification. The software’s ability to centralize data and automate calculations has resulted in resource savings and streamlined workflows compared to traditional spreadsheet methods. Thaioil acknowledges the intangible value of lower risk, reduced injuries, and fatalities as a direct result of their improved safety measures, further strengthening the overall value of SIFpro software.
