Relief, Flare, and Depressurization Fundamentals

This skill module extends the learning from the corresponding Core module to the Fundamental level. There are quantitative and non-quantitative exercises, and proposed applications at the example facility. There will be two recorded, interactive sessions that will include discussions of applications developed by the course participants.

Target Audience

Facilities/process engineers, as well as engineers and operations staff involved in process safety and asset integrity.

You Will Learn

Participants will learn how to:

• Size a relief valve for vapor service
• Size a relief valve for liquid service
• Describe how to calculate the relief load due to full bore failure of a heat exchanger tube
• Calculate inbreathing and outbreathing for atmospheric tanks
• Identify the key sizing parameters for flare headers and depressuring systems
