PRV effluent collection and handling

PRV effluent collection and handling

PRV effluent collection and handling

(OP)
Hi

We have two tanks with 10" PRV's (1 PRV +1 bursting disc).

Both if they did vent would vent to locations where people could be/passing.

I am looking to direct the exit pipe to a spare tank located next to the two tanks to vent.

Any advice?

RE: PRV effluent collection and handling

IS your design to API 2000 ? What the set pressure of PRV & RD ?

RE: PRV effluent collection and handling

10 in ? Too big, I suggest only use RD for fire scenario @ higher pressure and PSV for other scenarios @ lower pressure

Best Regards

RE: PRV effluent collection and handling

adx recommendation is one of the practical way you may consider..

RD to cater for large relief (i.e. fire, gas blowby, etc)
PVRV to cater for small relieve (i.e. feeding pump failure)

You may need stagard the setpoints to avoid RD action inadvertently.
