Description Pressure Safety Design Practices for Refinery and Chemical Operations is an introductory reference guide for pressure relieving operations
in petroleum refineries and chemical plants. Petroleum refineries and their related chemical manufacturing facilities often operate at
high pressures and/or at conditions that can result in excessive pressure conditions. Start-up and emergency shut-down operations, transient
upset conditions, or catastrophic equipment failures, as well as plant process fires and plant wide utility failures, all require fail
safe systems that will alleviate high process operating conditions in a safe and expedient manner.
Audience
Refinery and chemical processing operations.
