Relief Systems play a huge role in the world of Process Safety Management so it comes to no surprise that engineers have to pay very close attention when designing and installing them. But one word will always come up, “Mistakes.” Every engineer makes them; however, mistakes made when selecting, sizing and installing pressure relief systems can create risk. Provenance has teamed up with AIChE to bring you a free live webinar that will help you avoid risky relief system pitfalls.

This free, live webinar hosted by AIChE Academy, will take place on Wednesday, April 6th from 1:00-2:00 pm CST.  In this 60-minute webinar, we will discuss how improper design and installation can impact your safety as well as how to recognize and address common sizing, selection, and installation pitfalls early on.

Inconsistent Process Hazard Analyses cost money, reduce operability, and can have a negative impact on safety culture. Join Patrick Fisher, a Chemical Engineer at Provenance Consulting, in an informative webinar that will allow you to understand the causes and the consequences of inconsistencies in Process Hazard Analyses and in Layers of Protection Analyses.

This free, live webinar hosted by AIChE Academy, will take place on Wednesday, January 27th from 1:00-2:00pm CST.  In this one hour webinar, we will examine the importance of consistencies in PHAs. You will learn how maintaining consistency in PHAs can help simplify management of equipment in your facilities. Risk Ranking guidelines, release quantity tables, and equipment databases will be demonstrated to show that PHAs can be consistent across your organization and facilities.

How PSM Programs of the Past Should Shape a Better PSM Future

October 23, 20150

Process Safety Management (PSM) has been the “law of the land” for over 20 years. While it may be perceived differently by different parts of an organization, one aspect of PSM is almost universally agreed on: If we had to do it over again, we would approach PSM implementation and practice differently.

Join Patrick Nonhof, Managing Partner of Provenance Consulting, for a free, live webinar hosted by AIChE Academy Wednesday, October 28th from 1:00 – 2:00pm.  In this 60-minute webinar, we will examine the pervasive nature of PSM (whether because of regulation or practice) and how that perception can impact PSM performance. This webinar brings this philosophical conversation into the real world by focusing on tangible examples.

We will then look forward to current PSM initiatives and how they can benefit from the hindsight gained from similar previous PSM programs. You’ll leave with a new understanding of how to apply lessons from history, avoid mistakes, and make your PSM future better than your PSM past.

Overpressure Protection and the Relation to Regulations, Codes, and Standards

April 17, 20150

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.

Selected Pressure Relief Systems Heuristics Live Webinar

August 21, 20140

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.
