How to design an emergency discharge system for a reaction vessel
Thread Content
The reaction risk assessment is classified as level 3; it is necessary to implement emergency unloading from the reactor and to terminate the reaction at a pressure of 0.6 MPa – it is also necessary to determine how to carry out this unloading. Thank you.
It is likely that the reactor experienced excessive temperature and pressure, which caused it to automatically stop feeding while simultaneously introducing an emergency terminator； If the reaction continues to get out of control, it is advisable to have a backup discharge/pressure relief tank. Thank you!
An emergency shut-off valve is installed at the bottom of the reactor, linked to temperature or pressure controls. In the event of overtemperature or overpressure, stop the feed, urgently open the bottom valve, and discharge the material to the emergency storage tank.
