Hi Bobby, sorry for that.
The situation is as follows: I have a process where liquid has to be pressurized before being heated, to enhance separation and avoid vaporization. A pump is then used to increase the pressure of the liquid from 2 to 10bar.
The pressurized liquid shall pass through 2 vessels and 1 heat exchanger, before being cooled down and stored. Usually I believe the vessels would have a pressure control system that would purge gas to keep the pressure inside it at a specific range, but since we dont have any gas, this cannot be done.
The solution I came up was to use a pressure valve at the end of the process, just before storing the liquid, but I wonder if there is any order way to control the discharge pressure of the pump. Maybe recycling it back?
