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.

 

Module Lessons

• Skill 1: Define the applicable relief overpressure scenarios

• Skill 2: Use tools to calculate relieving rates

• Skill 3: Select the relief device per standards

• Skill 4: Quality self-check the Overpressure results
