Kumar Dinesh examines methods to protect tanks and pipelines from the risks of overpressure in the summer edition of Tanks and Terminals magazine.
In applications requiring the operation of tanks, overpressure protection is crucial for safety, preventing catastrophic failures and ensuring operational efficiency. At worst, a tank rupture can lead to explosions, fires or fatal injury to personnel and at best uncontrolled release of process media can be an environmental risk.
This article features our Mooney™ FlexFlo™ Surge Reliever and Consolidated™ 19000 Series Safety Relief Valves and underscores the potential causes and risks associated with overpressure in tanks and pipelines, while also emphasizing the importance of specific critical relief scenarios such as surge, thermal expansion, and vacuum relief.
