Marmot seismic monitoring

Marmot is a Seismic Monitoring and Trip System perfectly responding to the increasing safety requirements in sensitive industries such as Nuclear Power Plants (NPP), Nuclear Storage Facilities, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), refineries and many more. 

The system measures and systematically analyses tremors occurring at different points in a facility and quickly recognizes dangerous vibration patterns. With its distributed intelligence it guarantees reliable alarms for automatic shutdown (Trip) information impacted by earthquakes on the structures. 

The Marmot system comprises of:

  • Sensors to measure the accelerations in different zones of the plant.
  • Recorders to save the measures and transmitting alarms and data
  • The Network Control Center (NCC) to centralise all information and synchronizing the recorders. It is to be considered as the brain of the system.
  • Software to manage the system and providing a first near real-time data evaluation.

Two types of recorders are available:

  • MRSK – Seismic switch (Cat A/ SIL 2, SIL3 in double or triple redundancies)
  • MR2002-SM24-K (Cat C)

Syscom Marmot system 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.
