Sizing Calculations for Pressure-Relief Valves
Pressure-relief valves are widely and effectively used in situations where the pressure in a process vessel rises to above the vessel’s design-pressure rating. Proper relief-valve sizing is critical to plant and process safety to permit fluids sufficient flow area to exit the vessel. Sizing relief valves requires several equations for different flows (liquid flow, vapor flow and two-phase flow), as...

Batch Control: Controller- Versus Server-Based Sequencers
When designing a batch system, engineers often select the control solution based on the size of the system. It is traditionally thought that small batch systems require a controller-based sequencing solution, while larger systems require a server-based solution. However, despite traditional practices, the size of the system is not always the best indicator of an appropriate solution. A small application or...

Managing Pressure while Pigging an Oil Pipeline
How to utilize a pipeline inspection gauge (pig) in a crude-oil pipeline that requires a pressure control valve can be a bewildering question for process engineers, especially in cases where the oil pipeline does not have any pig-launcher and receiver facilities. The challenge becomes how to keep the pressure profile unchanged along the length of the pipeline. This task is complicated when the pipeline...
