In this Provenance Consulting sponsored webinar, you’ll consider the risk created by mistakes both new and experienced engineers can make when designing and auditing pressure relief systems. Improper documentation is confusing and may put you at risk of citations as well as create rework. But improper installation or selection of the wrong relief valve can cause serious safety risk. In this webinar, you’ll learn to recognize and eliminate risk at the earliest opportunity. You’ll identify potential mistakes that can be made in overpressure identification and sizing. You’ll discuss common installation pitfalls and how to identify and address them. You’ll also learn how and when to question the necessity and appropriateness of pressure relief systems. By the end of the hour, you’ll be able to audit your own work as well as the work of others with greater proficiency

This Provenance Consulting sponsored webinar helps you address the causes and the consequences of inconsistencies in PHAs and LOPAs while meeting the requirements of OSHA 1910.119 PSM. You’ll learn how maintaining consistency in PHAs can help simplify management of equipment in your facility, greatly improve risk assessment efficiency and make follow-up easier. You’ll see demonstrations of risk ranking guidelines, release quantity tables, and equipment databases to show that PHAs can be consistent across your organization. This webinar also discusses how to use industry guidelines, past incidents, and your current PHAs to create helpful guides for your PHA team and facilitator.

Patrick Fisher is a chemical engineer with experience in the industrial and refining industries with proven results in process hazard analysis (PHA)/layer of protection analysis (LOPA) facilitation and training, and safety instrumented function design. As a PHA facilitator, he helps large organizations meet the PHA, MOC, PSSR, and PSI requirements of the OSHA PSM standard. His background includes publications on risk analysis, minimizing independent protection layers, and leading indicators of process safety.
This webinar highlights and discusses the benefits and importance of integrating the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) process with your Management of Change (MOC) process, conducting a PHA on Capital and Plant Projects, and ensuring the adequacy of the PHA team membership. Apart from the obvious benefit of identifying hazards and mitigating them before the process is built, PHAs can also be used to identify issues with the design, screen out potential surprises and costly system modifications, and help with budgeting and revenue allocation for the project life cycle.
In order to accomplish successful integration and realize the inherent benefits, it is imperative to obtain buy-in from the management team and the appropriate subject matter experts that should be part of the Process Hazard Analysis team.
By the end of this presentation, you should be able to present your organization with specific examples to support these types of discussions and open the door for approaching leadership to implement some or all of the suggested practices and approaches.

In this webinar, you learn 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.
