Valve software design process

If you need assistance designing your relief system, Farris Engineering Services has the experience and expertise to help you protect your most important assets. As the equipment and process at a facility undergoes changes over time, it is important to verify that installed relief devices remain adequate for their protection role.

Protected systems are comprised of equipment that is protected, protecting, ancillary, or an overpressure source. It is common for equipment to be linked to more than one protected system and to play a different role to each system. For example, a pressure relief valve may be protecting a piece of equipment in one system, but also be ancillary to an upstream protected system. The result is that iPRSM will illuminate issues in your relief system that may have otherwise gone undetected.

All of the calculations are performed per the latest codes and standards. Custom scenarios can also be considered. Scenarios not considered can be appropriately documented to meet PSM requirements. At the corporate level you might store items like engineering standards and directives or industry codes. And at the protected system level iPRSM will house all of the information upon which your relief calculations are based. You can store required equipment parameters like discharge coefficients, flow capacity, links to vendor brochures, etc and attach them directly to the corresponding equipment.

Uploading field data sheets, process data sheets, spreadsheets, pictures, etc is simple. Now you can have all of the information for these complex calculations housed in one convenient location. The traditional method of performing relief system calculations has involved complex spreadsheets combined with process simulators to obtain physical properties and thermodynamic data. A major deficiency with a spreadsheet approach is that it is difficult, if not impossible, to automatically evaluate the effects of process or equipment changes on multiple protected systems.

This approach will likely provide you with an accurate snapshot of the process as calculated. However, with ongoing changes to your process and equipment, deficiencies in your relief systems are likely to slip by undetected. Other PC based software packages are available. These packages lack the connected nature that iPRSM offers as a web based tool. In iPRSM, users collaborate in a single, common database as opposed to working from isolated computers. This approach ensures that all users always work with the most current data.

Other packages also require your entire team to have a common computing platform which becomes an issue when operating systems or other related software are upgraded. Download PDF. We publish some of our work. Or download a translated version. August Slides Alex Vlachos.
