Most professionals in the industry understand the fundamental importance of overpressure protection and the basics of pressure relief valves. However, many cannot dedicate the time to understand the history or intricacies of overpressure protection implementation. For instance, what can we consider to be a “relief device” and where do we look to be certain?

Join Justin Phillips — a relief systems engineer from Provenance Consulting — to gain a better understanding of pressure relieving systems. This free live webinar takes place on Wednesday, April 22 2015, from 1:00 – 2:00pm CST.

In this webinar, the audience will be given a roadmap that links regulatory requirements to codes of construction onto industry practices and standards. By linking these things together, the audience will be better able to understand the philosophy of regulations and will be able to reference the appropriate regulations and code requirements readily.

If you are an engineer or technical professional working with pressurized vessels, boilers, this is your opportunity to better understand the Whys and Hows of overpressure protection.

Please join Provenance on Wednesday, 27 August 2014 at 1:00pm CST for our last AIChE-hosted webinar of 2014! As an extension to the January relief systems presentation, this webinar will highlight heuristics for a few common overpressure scenarios including blocked pump outlet, low-pressure vent piping losses, fire relief, and more.

Estimating relief loads for pressure relieving systems is usually straight-forward with clear guidelines provided in company standards and elsewhere. Regardless, sometimes the correct technique is not applied, which can lead to gross under- or over-estimation of required relief rates and capacities even for the most common overpressure scenarios.

If you are interested in attending simply register here. To ensure that you receive the log-in information the morning of the webinar, please sign up at least one day in advance.

Please join Provenance on Wednesday, 8 January 2014 at 1:00pm CST, for a free live webinar where you’ll receive an introduction (or a refresher!) to the fundamentals of pressure relieving systems including causes of overpressure, determination of relief loads, methods of pressure relief, and how these concepts are tied together by applicable industry codes, standards, and practices.

Pressure relieving systems are an integral part of any process facility, from offshore production platforms to petrochemical complexes, and usually provide the last line of defense against overpressure and loss of containment. Although ubiquitous, pressure relieving systems are not necessarily well understood by all chemical process engineers. Provenance Consulting engineer, Justin Phillips, will touch on the essential principles of relief systems in this one hour webinar.
