 Thermal rating of Heat exchangers

 Designing / Rating of heat exchangers is carried


out with the help of HTRI computer program.

 This activity enables the designer to model heat


exchangers, allowing the designer to gauge the
performance, geometry and inherent limitations of
the shell and tube heat exchanger even before its
fabrication.

 This results in lower risks of damage to the


equipment while in service.

Hydraulics

 The safety of personnel and the protection of


equipments due to overpressure are the basis for the
design, sizing, and selection of pressure relieving
systems.

 All systems and pressure relief devices shall be


designed based on the applicable codes (API 520,
521, etc.), industry standards and practices.
 For Flare header Sizing, first we have to determine
the appropriate relief contingencies yielding maximum
loads
 Flare header size has to be large enough to prevent
excessive backpressure on the plant safety valves
and to limit gas velocity and noise to acceptable levels.

HAZOP Study Module

HAZard and OPerability study is a technique to examine a


system, part by part, in a very systematic manner, to find
out the cause and consequence of every conceivable
deviation in the normal operation of the system as well
as during emergencies, start-ups and shutdowns. The
method enables prediction of all possible ways in which a
hazard or an operating problem could arise, whether the
design takes preventive care of them and if not,
recommends changes (Action) as may be necessary.
Mid & Downstream Business Training
SIL
Module
 Measurement of confidence level for performance of safety
function is called the Safety Integrity Level(SIL)
 Safety integrity of a system can be defined as
“ The probability (likelihood) of a safety-related system
performing the required safety function under all the stated
conditions within a stated period of time”
 SIL is a measure of the reliability of the safety function
performing to specification.
 The SIL is based on the accepted risk level and ranges from 1
to 4
