Maximize Safety and Compliance
Pressure Relief Systems are crucial for ensuring safety and preventing the potential consequences of equipment overpressure and loss of containment. At Cognascents, our experienced engineers specialize in Pressure Relief System Design and Evaluation for the assets and facilities of various industries, including oil and gas upstream (onshore and offshore), midstream, downstream (refining), and chemical. We follow recognized industry standards such as API-520, API-521, and API-2000, in addition to adhering to recognized engineering best practices within the industry.
Why are Pressure Relief Systems needed?
Pressure Relief Systems serve as the final line of defense against equipment overpressure and the subsequent risks associated with loss of containment. When process conditions exceed safe operating limits, Pressure Relief Systems come into action to protect equipment, personnel, and the environment from potential harm.
The importance of Pressure Relief System Design and Evaluation is recognized by regulatory bodies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA’s 1910.119 Process Safety Management mandate, established in 1992, explicitly defines Pressure Relief System Design and design basis as critical components of process safety information. This underscores the significance of implementing effective Pressure Relief Systems to ensure compliance and mitigate hazards.
