Pressure relief systems provide the last line of defense against equipment overpressure and the potential for loss of containment. The appropriate design of pressure relief systems requires a detailed knowledge of the process, the contingencies that could lead to system overpressure, and the complex interaction of variables that occurs during a contingency. In addition, the design basis of the pressure relief system is one of the cornerstones of an operating facility's Process Safety Information (PSI) as required by OSHA 1910.119 (PSM).
Our unique combination of process and mechanical design experience in the area of pressure relief systems ensures correct sizing, selection, and installation.
The Pressure Relief Solution focuses on ensuring adequate overpressure protection for systems of pipe and equipment coupled with identification of all related pressure sources. As such, the overpressure protection for each element within a system is assured and documented. Based on our systematic approach, we will design the optimal pressure relief system information management strategy based on a variety of commercial tools, corporate tools, industry standards, and corporate standards. The final deliverables will be designed to integrate with other plant information management systems such as the Reliability-Based Mechanical Integrity (RBMI) and Management of Change (MOC) processes.
Our Pressure Relief Solution is flexible enough to meet the unique needs of our clients and can be applied to the following:
We can also provide consultation and training services in the area of pressure relief systems.
