Everything You Need for Rigorous LOPA

From initiating event selection to SIF architecture requirements — LOPANexus covers the full LOPA workflow in one collaborative platform.

🔬
LOPA Calculation Engine
Automated mitigated frequency computation with scientific notation — IE × Conditional Modifiers × IPL PFDs.
🛡
IPL Validation (CCPS)
Six-criteria CCPS validation: Specific, Independent, Dependable, Auditable, Testable, Maintainable.
📊
SIL Determination
Automatic SIL 1–4 classification per IEC 61511 with required PFD and Risk Reduction Factor.
📚
Corporate Libraries
Shared initiating event and IPL libraries with typical CCPS frequency and PFD values.
📋
Risk Criteria Management
Configure tolerable frequency targets with ALARP visualization — intolerable, ALARP, tolerable zones.
🤖
AI LOPA Assistant
Claude AI suggests initiating events, additional IPLs, and validates LOPA basis — for Professional plans.
📄
Multi-Format Reports
Export LOPA worksheets as PDF, HTML, or CSV — full study reports with executive summary.
💡
Recommendation Register
Track corrective actions with priority, due dates, status, and responsible engineers.
👥
Role-Based Access
Facilitator, Analyst, Reviewer, Viewer roles with study-level team assignment.

From Hazard to SIL Requirement in Minutes

1
Create Study
Set up your LOPA study with scope, objectives, assumptions, and document control.
2
Define Scenarios
Create scenarios linked to HAZOP nodes — consequence, severity, category.
3
Select IE
Choose the initiating event from the library with CCPS-typical frequency values.
4
Add Modifiers
Apply conditional modifiers: ignition probability, personnel exposure, etc.
5
Add IPLs
Enter IPLs with PFD values and validate against 6 CCPS criteria.
6
Get SIL Result
Engine computes mitigated frequency, risk gap, and determines required SIL.
