Pressure-Relief Systems
Design of pressure-relief systems is a critical safety component in any process. CEI engineers are skilled at evaluating and designing relief systems that meet accepted engineering standards and also minimize excessive cost due to over-sizing of relief devices and vent piping. The engineers routinely size:
- Pressure-relief valves (PSV)
- Pressure-Rupture Disks (PSE)
- Combination PSV/PSE installations
- Active vent systems
- Vent Piping Systems
- Vent Header Systems with multiple inputs and collection tanks
A further consideration is the design of systems meant to take into consideration all credible pressure scenarios, eliminating the need for a pressure-relief device. This method of design often lowers constructed cost, reduces leaks, and lowers maintenance cost while still providing the safety required by today’s standard.
