I´m working in a review of some PSV´s and I have some doubts regarding vacuum tower protection.
When loss of ejector steam happens vacuum is lost. Should I consider that as there is no vacuum, no flash will occur? Therefore, is the any need for a PSV as tower will get pressurized slightly over atm. pressure and MAWP is bigger than that? Is this correct?
In general, Do vacuum towers in refineries have PSV´s?
Thanks in advance
