$2B+ per year in avoidable equipment damage from abnormal situations.

Modernizing process safety systems in operating facilities is complex. Aging SIS platforms, increasing regulatory pressure, and limited outage windows make “rip and replace” approaches unrealistic.

Spartan Controls helps asset‑intensive operations modernize process safety systems in a way that reduces risk, protects availability, and supports long‑term operational stability—without disrupting production.

Why Modernization Matters

Unscheduled shutdowns can cost heavy process industries 2–5% of annual production, with poor alarm management a major contributor to abnormal situations and equipment damage.

The Challenge

Legacy Control Systems Nearing End of Life
Upgrade Risk and Downtime Concerns
Alarm Floods and Operator Overload
Regulatory and Safety Compliance Pressures
A practical approach to process safety modernization

A practical approach to process safety modernization

Effective process safety modernization is not just about new technology. It requires a disciplined, phased approach that balances safety, availability, and operational realities.
Spartan Controls supports process safety modernization by:
 
  • Assessing current SIS and control system lifecycle risk
  • Aligning safety modernization with operational constraints
  • Planning phased upgrades that minimize downtime
  • Supporting safe transitions across people, processes, and technology
The result is a modernization path that improves safety integrity without introducing new operational risk.
Migration Solutions for Other Platforms
To enable a fast, error free cutover without lifting existing field wiring, an innovative solution has been developed to fit in the same footprint as a standard 1771 I/O chassis.
Modernize to DeltaV Control with minimal rewiring and no additional space.

Our team of experienced engineers and project managers have successfully migrated Siemens systems, including PCS5, PCS7, TI 505, Moore APACS, and QUADLOG, to DeltaV. Emerson uses advanced tools in its forward engineering approach to identify key information from existing applications and make the most of the new standards and features of DeltaV, minimizing risk and maximizing efficiency while delivering expected returns in the modernization project.
