No chemical processing reactor can ever achieve zero risk of fire, explosion, or thermal runaway. This, therefore, will always result in the need to design safe process venting and/or Emergency Relief Systems (ERS) for your reactors.
To effectively secure your reactor in event of a runaway reaction, chemical reaction hazard data such as adiabatic temperature rise, onset temperatures, and flow/dynamics will be required.
In this webinar, Dr Oliver Armstrong, CPE Laboratory Manager, will discuss how the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) methodology, alongside basic reaction calorimetry (possible with reagent mixing) and thermal stability screening, can be used to effectively design emergency relief vent requirements for systems under upset conditions.
What you’ll learn:
- What are Emergency Relief Systems (ERS) and what they encompass
- Why the analysis of Relief Systems is needed and what techniques are available
- Understanding how and why Vent Sizing is key to process safety and what tests can be used to support your processes
This webinar is best for:
- Technical Manager
- HSE/EHS Manager
- Chemical Engineer
- Process Engineer
- Development/Process Chemist
