Hi,
On the past, we have an incident with a “vapor” PSV.
The discharge line was full with hot condensate due to PSV leakage and no drain hole available. The PSV opened and condensate was projected (horizontal line) and reached a nearby equipment platform were some people was working on.
Recently, this issue came out again.
- Almost all standards state “safe location”, but none (at my concern) is clear about a definition.
- Some define guidelines for hazardous, toxic and flammable materials, but none give guidance for less harmfull streams (steam or condensate);
What would be a good approach to deal with cases like this? “Dispersion” study to evaluate temperature decay of the released stream?
Does anyone
Any ideas?
Best regards.
