PSV outet line Size change
(OP)
Hi Everyone and Happy New year.
We are currently trying to re-route a set of PSVs outlets from the Incinerator's line to the flare line. The outlets sizes vary between 4" and 12 " and the flare header is 20". From a constructability point of view, we would like to use a 36" line which is already located on the pipe rack and isolated (was part of a decommissioned unit). The configuration would be as follow:
PSV outlet line 12" connected to the 36" line which will be connected via a reducer to a 16" Tap on the 20" flare header. My question is: would the outlet of the PSV connected to a larger pipe then a smaller one represent a problem ?
Thank you
Best regards
Sam
