In high-pressure environments like oil and gas operations, safety is non-negotiable. Overpressure incidents can lead to catastrophic failures, environmental damage, and financial loss. That's why High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS) have become a vital part of any modern pressure management strategy. At Metalfab, we provide industry-grade HIPPS packages engineered to safeguard pipeline systems and pressure equipment with precision and reliability.

What is a HIPPS Package?

A HIPPS (High Integrity Pressure Protection System) is a safety instrumented system (SIS) designed to prevent over-pressurization in pipelines and process equipment. Unlike conventional pressure relief systems that vent excess pressure into the environment, HIPPS provides a “green” solution by shutting off the source of pressure altogether, ensuring system integrity and environmental protection.

Why HIPPS is Critical in Oil & Gas

In the oil and gas industry, especially in upstream and midstream operations, pressure spikes can be sudden and severe. HIPPS acts as a final layer of protection, activating in milliseconds to isolate the high-pressure source before it can impact downstream equipment. This system:

  • Reduces the risk of explosions or equipment damage

  • Minimizes flaring and emissions

  • Supports regulatory compliance (e.g., IEC 61508, IEC 61511)

  • Enables operation closer to design limits without compromising safety
