Course ID: 
CH173
Course Type: 
Instructor-led (classroom) Course
Course Length: 
3 Days

OSHA has recognized Design Institute for Emergency Relief System (DIERS) methods as good engineering practice for process safety management of highly hazardous materials.

If you’re responsible for the safe handling of the effluent from relief systems, this course will teach you how to apply the DIERS techniques for providing adequate pressure relief for runaway reactions and other pressure-producing events.
 

Applying DIERS technology in your facility

In three days filled with example problems and case histories, you’ll gain a broad introduction to emergency relief system design goals and strategy and take an in-depth look at DIERS methods. You’ll examine vessel disengagement dynamics and vent flow dynamics. You’ll also look at simplified emergency relief system design and effluent handling. Through a simulation, you’ll see computerized emergency relief design methods in action.   
 
Attend and you’ll receive the textbooks Emergency Relief Systems Design Using DIERS Technology and Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems. Both are published by the Center for Chemical Process Safety and include CCflow computer routines on CD-ROM.
