Description:
Properly functioning pressure relief devices (PRDs) are essential to protect plant personnel and equipment, and are considered to be the ultimate layer of protection for pressurized systems. The inspection and testing of relief devices is needed to ensure PRD functionality on demand. But when and how often do you need to inspect? This paper compares inspection intervals in general agreement with API 510 and NBIC versus a new appropriate inspection frequency based on risk. A recent site-wide study has been conducted at the ConocoPhillips Alliance refinery demonstrating the benefits of the new approach.
