Berwanger’s patented Best Practice audit for Pressure Relief Systems incorporates the most comprehensive, practical, and cost-efficient solutions for the design, installation, operation, and inspection and maintenance of relief devices and vapor disposal systems. Our patented equipment-based methodology and Pressure Protection Manager® (PPM®) software anchor our Best Practice, recognized throughout the processing world as the standard for pressure relief safety.
This approach, coupled with our Pressure Protection Manager® (PPM®) software, streamlines the creation of a highly rigorous pressure relief system model.
Evaluate:
Protected equipment and relief devices:
- Build the PPM® database
- Identify all potential overpressure scenarios for each piece of equipment
- Calculate the required relief rate for each piece of equipment
- Evaluate relief device capacity and installation for each relief valve
- Document deviations from industry standards and recommended practices
Vapor disposal systems:
- Verifying vapor disposal system configurations
- Creating an overall model that includes all relief devices
- Identifying global overpressure scenarios
- Evaluating vapor disposal system performance
- Analyzing flare performance
- Conduct Quantitative Risk Analysis (if warranted)
- Documenting deviations from recommended practices
Provide periodic check-ups:
An annual or bi-annual Berwanger review can help ensure that the high level of safety and protection that we help create at the outset remains in effect and that your pressure-relief system – and its documentation – stays evergreen.
Mitigation:
We collaborate with you to determine your priorities and unique requirements and develop action plans that include risk assessments, backup calculations, and order-of-magnitude cost estimates for proposed modifications.
Based on our experience and with a detailed knowledge of your overall facility, we work with you to lower implementation costs.
Action:
Berwanger can help speed detailed engineering implementations by leveraging evaluation and mitigation data. We use this data to develop construction packages that deliver optimal solutions. Our in-depth knowledge of the industry and pressure-relief suppliers enables us to develop low-cost, easy-to-implement solutions.
