Every day we come across challenges with how to handle toxic, flammable, or reactive materials. Gathering data on a small scale reduces the hazards of handling these materials substantially.
Model-based design, consistent with DIERS methodologies, provides accurate, reliable vent sizing. The model-based scale-up approach has multiple benefits. Evaluating a reactive system's pressure and temperature behavior as temperature increases, as well as tracking the reaction in a near-adiabatic environment, provides a high-level understanding of the worst-case hazards to be expected.
Read this newsletter for a three-step model-based scale-up approach to process simulation, an approach that can be applied to relief system design, process optimization, and chemical reactivity hazard evaluation.
Bonus!
This newsletter includes access to the Investigation Report by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board on the 2003 food additive plant catastrophic vessel failure to learn important lessons on chemical safety for your facility.
Have a great and safe day.
