Designed with EdrawMax, this template presents a fault tree analysis diagram focused on a fluid system. The top - event is "Release from Overflow Bypass Line". It branches into three main intermediate events: "High fluid level in sedimentation tank", "Level sensor fails to detect high level", and "Control system fails to take corrective action".
The diagram further breaks down these events into their root causes. For example, a high fluid level can result from an underflow outlet blockage due to solids accumulation or the failure of Pump 4 or 5. A sensor's failure to detect can be because of lack of calibration or testing. The control system's failure may stem from software malfunctions, lack of redundancy, or no alarms. This diagram is useful for engineers and maintenance teams to identify and mitigate risks in fluid systems, ensuring safety and proper operation.
