Hello All,
I'd like to know if a water-hydrocarbon separator (2 liquid phases, no gas phase) working at 2 bar and ambient Temperature with maximum operating temperature = 40 C would require any sort of pressure relief device.
My concern is in the case if hydrocarbon flashing takes place.
Thanks.

Does A Separator Need A Pressure Relief Device

Every pressure vessel should be protected against excessive overpressure. There are many codes and standards concerned with the design and application of pressure relief devices. A competent, fully trained person should be assigned to apply the rules of your governing standard.

If the vessel is ASME stamp-ed, you can check UG-140 of ASME section VIII.

Mohamed Hussein,
If the separator is working at 2 barg its design pressure would certainly be higher. Then, if the design code is ASME Sec VIII Div.1 it needs PSV anyway other than if UG-140 conditions being provided in the separator.
