I am curious to know what to expect if a centrifugal compressor that is running at a safe distance from both surge and stonewall has its suction valve fail (fail close) and also a separate scenario where only its discharge SDV fail closes.

 

I have included a schematic of the installation.

It depends on whether the installation is done correctly. So, you must provide more specific information. Preferably a sketch or drawing. Or, best, a P&ID.
