Produktbeschreibung

Providing in-depth guidance on how to design and rate emergency pressure relief systems, Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems incorporates the current best designs from the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems as well as American Petroleum Institute (API) standards. Presenting a methodology that helps properly size all the components in a pressure relief system, the book includes a CD with the CCFlow suite of design tools and the new Superchems for DIERS Lite software, making this an essential resource for engineers designing chemical plants, refineries, and similar facilities.

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.
