Watch Dr. Georges Melhem reveal fundamental Process Safety Office SuperChems explosion building blocks and models that address many of the flaws of simplified sizing methods. Included are case studies of how they are applied and how the burning rate models are developed from measured data.
Watch this video to learn about SuperChems tools you may not be aware of. Working with binary interaction parameters (BIPs) has now been streamlined and made easier. Also shown are several tips for working with the units function to simplify your tasks, such as converting units on the fly, in classic and visual versions. Have questions on data entry? Here are some ways to enhance your productivity. Also discussed are the piping layout tool and visual graph options.
Read this white paper to understand how and who determines the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), the relationship between MAWP and Design Pressure, and finally how high-pressure vessel is designed.
A large oil refinery with a very complex flare network had become so complex that the tools the refinery was using to evaluate the flows through the flare network could not adequately model the system. The facility had six separate flares, three main headers, and hundreds of relief devices that discharged into the system. As the flare system was modified over the years, multiple cross-connection points were added between the headers in an effort to balance the flow rates through the headers with minimal piping changes.
The client was storing reactive materials in vessels that could be subject to fire exposure. They wanted to be sure that the relief protection on the vessels was correctly sized, or if not, what changes were necessary for an effective relief system.
