RE: PSV Repair
Often, the project Operations team working on concept design for a new project find this goal impractical, given the high availability expected of high flow production plants, and we have to resort to the typical isolation valves on the inlet and exit.
If you can make this happen on your project, that would be preferable from a process safety perspective, but the Operations team should sign off on this isolation philosophy concept, and other unit isolation block valves at the appropriate locations should be provided. Some reduction in overall plant availability may also occur.

RE: PSV Repair
I understood that if there is no isolation valve or any routing hose arrangement,we need to shut off the unit for repair a single PSV also.But, here i have seen that most of the PSV are connected to the equipment with out any Isolation valve.
1.Actually is there any criteria for adding isolation valve which means only for flammable or hazardous service like?
2. It is only required on the discharge of PSV which is connected to Flare header?
RE: PSV Repair
1. When PSV is installed, it's considered as last protection system against overpressure. So whatever fluid you have in your process system, as long as the upstream system can cause overpressure, something which can make obstruction between PSV and system shall be avoided as much as possible. Isolation valve can be installed if you have 2x100% PSV with ILO and ILC upstream and LO at downstream valves or as Latexman said 01x100% if Operation accept a procedure to isolate the whole process system and then reduce the pressure before closing the isolation valve, this is not preferred by designer but normally requested by Operation (user), the whole point here is to maintain SIL within an acceptable limit.
2. No, where your relieved fluid routes to depends on nature of your fluid whether it can escalate the incident or making things worse, you see that many PSVs of Instrument Air system routes directly to atmosphere or PSV of Diesel transfer pump routes back to the storage tank.
