Therefore, if the set point for a relief valve is say, 1 bar(g), and the pressure in the relief header is 0.2 bar(g), then the relief valve will open when the pressure in the vessel it is protecting is 60 psig. Such a scenario could occur if a plant-wide upset has caused multiple vessels to discharge into the relief header at the same time. To get around this difficulty, some relief valves are designed to open at a specified absolute pressure. The PHA team should check which approach is being used in the facility that is being analyzed and should consider the implications of multiple relief valves opening simultaneously (such as would happen if there were a large fire on the unit).

Location can depend on whether the discharge is to the atmosphere or a closed system. If discharging to the atmosphere, locate the relief valves on top of the column, with the open end of the discharge a minimum of 3000 mm above the top platform. For maintenance removal, the valve should be located to allow a top head davit to pick it up. Depending on size, multiple relief valves may require a gantry structure on the top head.

One relief valve was set to operate at a gauge pressure of 15psi (1 bar) and the other at 30psi (2 bar). The set pressures were stamped on the flanges, but this did not prevent the valves from being interchanged. Such incidents can be prevented, or at least made much less likely, by tying a numbered tag to the relief valve when it is removed and tying another tag with the same number to the flange.
