The Pressure Relief System Design for Industrial Reactors

الملخص EN

A quick and simple approach for reactor—emergency relief system design—for runaway chemical reactions is presented.

A cookbook for system sizing with all main characteristic dimensions and parameters is shown on one realistic example from process industry.

System design was done based on existing theories, standards, and correlations obtained from the literature, which were implemented for presented case.

A simple and effective method for emergency relief system is shown, which may serve as an example for similar systems design.

Obtained results may contribute to better understanding of blow down system frequently used in industrial plants, for increasing safety, decreasing explosion damage, and alleviating the ecological problems together with environmental pollution in case of industrial accidents.
