Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Providing in-depth guidance on how to design and rate emergency pressure relief systems, Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems incorporates the current best designs from the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems as well as American Petroleum Institute (API) standards. Presenting a methodology that helps properly size all the components in a pressure relief system, the book includes software with the CCFlow suite of design tools and the new Superchems for DIERS Lite software, making this an essential resource for engineers designing chemical plants, refineries, and similar facilities.Access to Software Access the Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Software and documents using a web browser at: http://www.aiche.org/ccps/PRTools Each folder will have a readme file and installation instructions for the program. After downloading SuperChems for DIERS Lite the purchaser of this book must contact the AIChE Customer Service with the numeric code supplied within the book. The purchaser will then be supplied with a license code to be able to install and run SuperChems for DIERS Lite. Only one license per purchaser will be issued.
