对功能安全基础标准IEC61508的研究

IEC61508经过在欧美国家近十年的应用,目前正在修订中,为深入理解和跟踪该标准,文章介绍了该标准的发展历史,并详细阐述了该标准的精髓内容及目前的修订现状.指出实施功能安全管理的关键是研究开发定量风险评价方法,同时收集整理危险事件发生概率及后果的基础量化数据,并建立数据库.正在修订的第二版标准中仍未考虑操作人员错误,未给出影响操作人员决策的充分指标信息,未定义安全相关人机界面是否友好等.提出建立功能标准与功能安全技术和管理相辅相成、互相促进的良性循环.

Volatile organic compounds at swine facilities: A critical review

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are regulated aerial pollutants that have environmental and health concerns. Swine operations produce and emit a complex mixture of VOCs with a wide range of molecular weights and a variety of physicochemical properties. Significant progress has been made in this area since the first experiment on VOCs at a swine facility in the early 1960s. A total of 47 research institutions in 15 North American, European, and Asian countries contributed to an increasing number of scientific publications. Nearly half of the research papers were published by U.S. institutions.Investigated major VOC sources included air inside swine barns, in headspaces of manure storages and composts, in open atmosphere above swine wastewater, and surrounding swine farms. They also included liquid swine manure and wastewater, and dusts inside and outside swine barns. Most of the sample analyses have been focusing on identification of VOC compounds and their relationship with odors. More than 500 VOCs have been identified. About 60% and 10% of the studies contributed to the quantification of VOC concentrations and emissions, respectively. The largest numbers of VOC compounds with reported concentrations in a single experimental study were 82 in air, 36 in manure, and 34 in dust samples.The relatively abundant VOC compounds that were quantified in at least two independent studies included acetic acid, butanoic acid (butyric acid), dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl sulfide, iso-valeric, p-cresol, propionic acid, skatole, trimethyl amine, and valeric acid in air. They included acetic acid, p-cresol, iso-butyric acid, butyric acid, indole, phenol, propionic acid, iso-valeric acid, and skatole in manure. In dust samples, they were acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, p-cresol, hexanal, and decanal. Swine facility VOCs were preferentially bound to smaller-size dusts.Identification and quantification of VOCs were restricted by using instruments based on gas Chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) with different detectors most of which require time-consuming procedures to obtain results. Various methodologies and technologies in sampling, sample preparation, and sample analysis have been used. Only four publications reported using GC based analyzers and PTR-MS (proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry) that allowed continuous VOC measurement. Because of this, the majority of experimental studies were only performed on limited numbers of air, manure, or dust samples. Many aerial VOCs had concentrations that were too low to be identified by the GC peaks.Although VOCs emitted from swine facilities have environmental concerns, only a few studies investigated VOC emission rates, which ranged from 3.0 to 176.5 mg d⁻¹ kg⁻¹ pig at swine finishing barns and from 2.3 to 45.2 g d⁻¹ m⁻² at manure storages. Similar to the other pollutants, spatial and temporal variations of aerial VOC concentrations and emissions existed and were significantly affected by manure management systems, barn structural designs, and ventilation rates.Scientific research in this area has been mainly driven by odor nuisance, instead of environment or health concerns. Compared with other aerial pollutants in animal agriculture, the current scientific knowledge about VOCs at swine facilities is still very limited and far from sufficient to develop reliable emission factors.

我国触电防护基础理论和观念存在问题剖析

触电形式、触电防护措施、供电系统的选择属于触电防护的基本问题.就触电形式而言,存在分类不完整、不同分类之间缺乏联系等问题,从触电相关导电体着手,提出了多层次系统化触电形式分类方法.就触电防护措施而言,就IEC最新标准由“平面式”分类转向“立体式”分类的深层意义进行了解读,并对“立体式”分类方法仍存在的问题进行了分析,提出了改进建议;指明我国翻译制定的等同标准未能充分体现IEC“立体式”分类方法的真正用意.就供电系统选择而言,“只能借用过流保护装置完成漏电保护”时代已经结束,建议我国从标准层面上放弃对TN供电系统的推荐,积极推广TT系统.     

安全联锁设备SIL验证中的参数估计偏差分析*

为提高安全联锁系统（SIS）不可用度计算的准确性,减少SIL验证的不确定性偏差,研究参数估计置信度分别为70%和90%时功能安全标准IEC61508的恒定失效率算法与实际非恒定失效率（威布尔分布）算法结果的偏差。结果表明:在70%置信度时,采用指数分布算法计算PFDavg,比威布尔分布算法的计算结果偏大,2者的相对偏差平均值为68.01%;90%置信度时,2者的相对偏差平均值为42.63%,揭示功能安全标准IEC61508恒定失效率计算将显著高估SIS的不可用性,可能造成企业不必要的整改和相应的维护成本。
