Preventing Disaster: Critical Relief System Evaluation Strategies
When: May 29, 2025 at 2:00pm Eastern
This technical webinar addresses the critical challenges facing process safety professionals in properly sizing emergency relief systems. In light of the recent Givaudan explosion—where undersized relief venting was identified as a contributing factor—we examine how seemingly adequate systems can fail catastrophically under real-world conditions.
Our experts will discuss:
- Common technical pitfalls in relief vent calculations and how they lead to undersized systems
- Key parameters often overlooked in traditional sizing approaches
- Case study analysis of the Givaudan incident and similar failures
- Practical approaches to re-evaluating existing relief systems
Participants will gain actionable insights into identifying at-risk systems within their facilities and implementing effective remediation strategies. We'll provide specific technical criteria for when existing systems should be reassessed, regardless of their compliance status with current standards.
This session is essential for process safety engineers, technical managers, and compliance officers seeking to enhance facility safety and avoid preventable catastrophic failures through proper relief system design and evaluation.
