How can miscalculations and incorrect analysis of potential process upsets affect process safety?  There are many aspects in facility design engineering and process safety engineering that should be considered when designing a new facility or debottlenecking an existing one.  During these times of compressed schedules and budgets, it can become difficult to ensure all project deliverables receive the proper amount of checking and documentation.  Mistakes in engineering design and operations of some systems can result in serious safety incidents which must be avoided.  Quality control, technical training, calculation checking and method verifications can aid in minimizing safety risks in these systems. This months’ tip will focus on Pressure Relief Systems.
