COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

1) Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice valve dismantling, assembling, inspection and testing. In case that this course is organized inside client premises (In-House), then client shall provide access to its valve workshop for practical sessions. 

 

(2) Valve Demo Kit: Various safety relief valves will be distributed in the class to the participants by the course instructor for hands-on demonstration. These demo kits will be returned to the instructor at the end of the training day. 

 

(3) Valve Simulator: Participants will use in the class our state-of-the-art “Valve Sizing Simulator”, “Valve Simulator 3.0”, “Valvestar 7.2 Simulator” and “PRV2SIZE Simulator” to practice some of the skills learnt. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Pressure/Safety Relief Valves. It covers the purpose and role in process safety of pressure relief devices and the types of pressure relief devices, operating principles and valve terminology and the industry standards and codes; the applications across industries, components and construction, sizing fundamentals and design conditions and the selection criteria for PRVs; the set pressure and overpressure, operate pressure margin recommendations, backpressure and superimposed pressure, multiple valve installations and relief scenarios and contingency cases. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the installation guidelines and best practices, operational behavior and performance, troubleshooting common issues, inspection and preventive maintenance and in-situ and bench testing; the blowdown and reseating adjustment, relief valves for different media, high pressure and high temperature applications and cryogenic and toxic media applications; the pilot-operated relief valves (PORVs), pressure vacuum relief valves (tank breathers), combination devices (rupture disk + PRV) and relief system design per API 521 the documentation and certification, PRV in HAZOP and LOPA studies, flare and vent system interface and PRV management programs
