DIERS Technology Fundamentals

- Type: Archived Webinar
- Level: Intermediate
- Duration: 1 hour
Prevention of accidental releases begins with a thorough emergency relief system design strategy. The AIChE Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) was formed on this mandate in 1976 and has developed relief and effluent handling systems design and evaluation methods now used worldwide. This webinar presents an overview of DIERS and its technology: why was the DIERS technology developed, how has it evolved, and what impact has the research had. Two publications will be discussed, DIERS Project Manual and Guidelines on Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems (2nd Ed.), to demonstrate how the development of this technology improves process safety.
