Flare (3) A Separator has operating temperature of 120 F with design temperature of 145F. Looking at simulation above, in
Gas Processing (1) only two stages of temperature increase, the temperature will reach 150F.
PID (7) After fire, the temperature will increase commonly above the design temperature. And even in some cases, the
vessel could rupture before increasing pressure reaches PSVs setting pressure. In other word, the vessel will have
Piping (7)
ruptured before the PSV open. Thus, the PSV doesnt provide adequate protection for the vessel in case of fire.
PSV (16)
For example, the following picture show that the metal plate temperature reaches 1200 F in only 15 minutes after
Pump (5)
fire.

2012 (21) That is, actually, the PSV doesnt provide adequate protection for the vessel in case of fire. Therefore, some other
October (1) options for vessel protection from fire case beside the PSV should be considered, such as: 1. Depressuring 2.
External cooling 3. External insulation 4. Provide proper drainage

July (1) My friend, for now, we already know the fact that PSV will not give adequate protection for vessel in fire case. But,
May (2) why do we always provide PSV as protection devise of the vessel? Why do we consider for fire case too? That
could be a joke, right? In my opinion, that is all to meet the CODE requirement

Relieving Condition My friend, a note shall be made, although the relieving temperature is higher than the design temperature, and
Exceed Design the PSV is not efficient to protect the vessel against fire, the PSV remain to be designed based on the relieving
Temperature temperature, since the PSV is installed as a safe guard

The block outlet case has more possibility occurred than the fire case. Based on my experience, the load of block
outlet is also smaller than un-wetted fire case. Therefore, it is better to design PSV of instrument air based on block
outlet case than fire case. Moreover, if you still design PSV based on fire case to consider worst case load, that PSV
will not provide adequate protection for the vessel: D.

What about relieving temperature for blocked outlet case? In case of blocked outlet the temperature will rise
due to pressure increase. What i normally do, is to calculate the temperatureBuiltrise Up
based
and on compression Back

case. Is this correct? In most of the cases i end up with temp. Much higher than Pressure
the normal operating temp.
