Agenda

Pressure Relief Analysis Fundamentals and Industry Applications

 

Module Concepts and Background

 

► Define potential real world relief scenarios and use API methods to calculate (grassroots) or rate (existing) relief valve sizes

• Grassroots = brand new equipment on plant site

• Existing = existing plant site and equipment

► Determine the design basis for each piece of equipment and assess applicable scenarios to determine the controlling scenario.

► Calculate the required relief device size based on the finalized design basis and appropriate API methods in industry.

► Detailed design aspects pertaining to relief valve inlet and outlet piping systems are not covered in this module.

► Describe the overpressure analysis documentation to support the quality process

► Describe the difference between different types of devices including PSVs, PRVs, PVRVs and ERVs.
