The MARMOT seismic monitoring and trip system perfectly responds to the increasing safety demand in vulnerable industries such as Nuclear Power Plants (NPP), Nuclear Storage Facilities, Liquid Natural Gas Storage (LNG), Refineries and many more. The system measures and analyses systematically tremors that occur at different locations in a facility and quickly recognizes dangerous patterns. With its distributed intelligence it guarantees dependable alarms for automatic shutdown (trip) information impacted by earthquakes on the structures. MARMOT complies with all relevant standards (e.g. IEC 61508, IEC 60780, and IEC 60880) applicable in these industries, fully tested and certified by the “TÜV-Rheinland” organization. This paper presents requirements and the corresponding MARMOT solution regarding seismic monitoring for industrial facilities.
