Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems

The design of emergency relief systems is a highly complex process. This in-depth guide shows how to design and rate emergency relief systems, including detailed pressure drop calculations that take into account mixed vapor-liquid streams, non-steady-state pressure driving force, and reacting streams so that engineers can select and properly install relief systems. An enclosed CD includes the CCFlow suite of design tools along with new Superchems for DIERS Lite software. With essential information for engineers designing chemical plants, refineries, and similar facilities, this new edition remains an industry standard.
