Improve relief-device sizing under supercritical conditions
Properly sized relief devices under supercritical conditions are vital to processing natural gas and gas condensates into olefins. These processes operate near the critical locus of the process gases ..
Address inlet pressure loss concerns with restricted lift relief devices
For the past 30 years, standard-sized relief devices have been sized such that it is difficult to meet the installation criteria in American Petroleum Institute (API) standard (STD) 520. This problem ..
Evaluate pressure relief system forces in existing installations
The purpose of this study is to limit the number of relief valves that require rigorous engineering calculations to determine the adequacy of the installation.
Relief valve and flare action items: What plant engineers should know
This article can help the plant engineer review the concerns developed by the design engineer. Implementing field modifications without performing such a review is costly and exposes a facility to unjustified risks.
Relief device inlet piping: Beyond the 3 percent rule
With careful consideration, an engineer can be certain that an installation will not chatter
Ensuring safe operations when fulfilling action item requirements
Consider implementing this criteria to accurately document the process
