I understand what you are saying, thank you for the insight. In terms of what you say about mass flowrate, relief gases are discharged to the venting system so the fluid in contact with the BD is air.
HCl which has a max pressure of 2.5 barg, and towns water which has a max pressure of 6.3...
As the minimum and maximum burst pressure would be determined by the back-pressure as you said it would depend on whether the fan is on or not, I would use the pressure gage to determine the back-pressure for when the fan is on?
Currently the pressure drop in the piping is greater than 3% of the relief valve' set pressure which therefore means the pressure relief system needs to be reviewed. One solution was to get a smaller relief valve to therefore reduce the pressure drop, but another possible solution was to just...
The pressure is reduced on entry to the plant to 5 barg by a pressure reducing set. The design pressure of the vessel is 6.9 barg.
Would you suggest I use a pressure gage to find out the maximum burst pressure and the minimum burst pressure.
Yes I agree! The material of the bursting disc is...
Yes, this would be as a result of a control valve which supplies heat to the reactor jacket with the reactor blocked in.
The contents of the reactor is water.
That is true, I cannot be certain. But won't I need the back-pressure the bursting disc experiences as a result of the exhaust fan to...
Hi All,
I have a reactor which has a design pressure of 6.9 barg, where an acid hydrolysis reaction takes place. The batch is reacted to up to a maximum of 125 degrees using a steam heater jacket. The steam comes in at 2.5 barg. The reactor pressure during normal operation is 1.1 barg. The...
