Prepare to progress in the field of Emergency Relief System (ERS) design. Take this instructor-led, virtual introduction to pressure safety relief design with DIERS technology— the only course that presents the proven DIERS approach to performing ERS design with technically correct methods and tools. In five fast-moving days, gain the background information, theory and tools you need to effectively launch an ERS design specialty
You’ll learn the concepts of DIERS liquid vapor disengagement technology and two-phase vapor liquid flow through relief systems and techniques for reactive relief design. In addition, you’ll get up-to-date on state-of-the-art venting and flow technology and relief system piping.
This basic course is a prerequisite to the advanced course (CH173).
Learn how to solve difficult, multi-phase and reactive problems. Once you’ve completed Basic Emergency Relief System Design, take the next step. In Advanced Emergency Relief System Design (CH173), you’ll gain an understanding of the complex and subtle theory needed to attack difficult, multi-phase and reactive problems.
Together these courses organize the DIERS material into a proven approach you can apply to any ERS design. Take both and you’ll build a solid fundamental understanding of pressure safety relief design you can apply on the job whether you operate, design or manage chemical processes that require emergency overpressure relief devices.
You’ll receive the text: Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems (published by CCPS and includes SC Lite computer code license).
