About this book
Overpressure Protection in the Process Industry: A Critical View provides a practical and pragmatic guidance for anyone dealing with overpressure protection in the process industry. The book explains the background of complicated international codes and regulations, offering a pragmatic and practical approach on how these codes can be interpreted for specific cases. The book also gives a critical view on these codes and regulations and where they do or don't make sense, along with the challenges in some instances, including technical and practical argumentations.
Finally, the book covers specific problem areas and sizing methods when using safety relief devices as overpressure protection, such as how to handle installation, backpressures, blowdowns, the 3% rule, types of chatter and other destructive forces in relief devices.
- Helps readers understand and apply codes and regulations in a pragmatic way
- Provides sizing guidance on most overpressure scenarios and how to approach them in a pragmatic way
- Creates awareness about the possible dangers of overpressure, especially in aging plants and how modifications on the process can jeopardize the overpressure protection
- Addresses non-regulated types of overpressure protection in a process plant, such as the overpressure and vacuum protection of low-pressure storage tanks and tank blanketing
