Shutdown Logic Diagram
Shutdown logic diagram (also known as ESD logic diagram) shows a hierarchy of shutdown level
within a plant or platform. Shutdown logic diagram start from telling a big picture of shutdown level,
typically the level starts from 0 continues with the higher number (1, 2, ). The lower number
represents the more critical shutdown. The subsequent sheets continues with detail hierarchy for each
process unit.
Shutdown logic diagram describes the cause that may trigger the shutdown and the effect that may
results once signal is activated. This diagram also shows the action such as time delay, start-up
inhibit, reset that will be performed for each action.
The location of each instrument that act as a trigger/cause shall be specified clearly.
Reference document: SAFE Chart, philosophy
SAFE chart presents the required safety devices for each process equipment. SAFE chart shall ensure
all safety requirements have been fulfilled and what executive actions the safety devices have to take.
Philosophy provide the narration and engineer shall translate it to cause and effect interaction so that
the plant operates as the intended philosophy.
The purpose of Shutdown logic diagram
Shutdown logic diagram may be used as a reference in preparing cause and effect diagram.

Shutdown Level Hierarchy
Shutdown level hierarchy is a classification of shutdown into a group which is categorized by intention
priority. These shutdown levels will be implemented in Safety Instrumented System and will function
to protect the personnel, equipment and environment as per their specific purpose. The higher
number of shutdown level shall initiate the lower level groups.
Shutdown level hierarchy may differ among each plant and platform. The number of level may vary
and shall be determined by considering all safety factors to suit the needs and condition of each plant
or platform. The following is an example only of general shutdown level that may exist within a plant
or platform in an ascending order of risks severity:
Level 1 Unit Shutdown (USD)
Unit Shutdown (USD) is the shutdown of individual process or utility system or subsystem and
intended to prevent equipment from operating outside process limits that may cause damage to the
equipment or adversely affect the process. USD can be initiated automatically by various process
sensors or manually through means of push button on the panel or Human Machine Interface (HMI).
A unit shutdown shall not impair the operation of other system in the plant or platform. Shutdown of
one vendor package is also classified into this level of shutdown.
Level 2 Process Shutdown (PSD)
Process Shutdown (PSD) is shutdown of all process system. PSD is activated automatically by various
process sensors. PSD will shutdown and isolate all related process equipment or systems, to limit the
probability of an abnormal operating condition leading to an emergency situation.

Level 3 Emergency Shutdown (ESD)
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) is shutdown to minimize the consequences during emergency. ESD can
be automatically initiated by load shedding functions or manually by the operator through push
button on the panel. ESD will shutdown and isolate all designated process related equipment,
including inlet and outlet ESD valves. Depends on each project some plant will allow the power
generation, utilities, and fuel gas system keep running during this condition.
Level 4 Emergency Depressurize Shutdown (EDP)
Emergency Depressurize Shutdown (EDP) will shutdown, isolate and depressurize all equipments by
opening the de-pressuring valves to flare. In this condition, main power generation system will be
shutdown and the emergency power generator will start. EDP is manually activated by the operator
through push button.
As mentioned before, the number of level shutdown in the hierarchy may differ among each project.
In some platform, there are other levels of shutdown i.e.total process shutdown and abandon facility
shutdown. On platform abandonment, all source of electrical power will be totally isolated except DC
battery system for the navigation aids.
