In order to define gas relieving rate through PSV under fire exposure, below scenarios to Boiling liquid in case Max Gas (Case 07)

30

Relieving temperature is simulated by HYSYS

31

Vapor and liquid volumetric flowrates are adjusted to their actual volume occupied in HP Separator including 10% of piping inventory.

32

Total heat input (Q) from fire will be transfered to fluid, heat accumulated by vessel metal is not considered. Input heat (Q) is used

33

mainly to increase the fluid temperature (Sensible Heat Q s) and partly to vaporise the liquid (Latent Heat of Vaporization H)

34

35
36

Relief liquid is flashed fractionally at 1%, 2%, 5% to determine its respective latent heat. Repetition is interupted once the latent
heat tends increasing and the flashing vapour will be relieving flowrate as required.

4.

Line sizing criteria

37

Line size will be verified based on gas flow relieved by real orifce area (rated flow) and PSV tailpipe back pressure is atmosphere.
