Analysis of Atmospheric Discharge: Qualitative and Quantitative Safety Screening
The design of relief/venting systems is imperative in facilities because existing installations or other design requirements frequently result in the potential for atmospheric releases. To ensure atmospheric discharges are to a safe location as required by good engineering practice [e.g. ASME Section VIII UG-135 (f)], facilities should consider the qualitative requirements, decision making processes, and quantitative methods summarized in this paper.
This paper can be used as the basis for analyzing new and existing facilities. The purpose of this paper is to simplify existing methods, such that typical plant engineers with everyday tools can screen most atmospheric releases.
