Emergency relief discharge from a chemical reactor or a process storage vessel will often need treatment before it can be vented to the atmosphere. The discharge of flammable and/or toxic materials can create fire and explosion hazards as well as toxicity hazards both on-site and off-site. Potential environmental impact can also lead to large cleanup and restoration costs. Two-phase discharges are more challenging than all vapor discharges.
