PSV Vent To Atmosphere
PSV Vent To Atmosphere
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
Some of the PSV's vents provided in Distillation Towers are routed to Atmosphere (if they pop up), not to flare as done normally. This is the case in most of Lighter hydrocarbons handling equipments like in Deethaniser and Ethylene tower. why cant we put them into flare? .IS there any specific reason behind it ?
Your Opinions Plz.
thanx

Ethane is not a regualated VOC, I'm not sure about ethylene. So that is not always a factor
Finally, These products will disperse and not become a fire safety issue unless the outside temperature was really cold and the don't vaporize.
