Pressure Relief & Process Technology

Design, Specification, & Optimization of Pressurized Equipment

Pressure relief systems (PRS) are used at thousands, if not millions, of refineries, petrochemical plants, and other industrial processing facilities. Properly functioning relief systems are essential for protecting plant personnel and equipment from unexpected overpressure events which may result in equipment damage, loss of containment, or environmental damage, and also cause costly plant shutdowns or non-compliance fines.

Pressure relief devices (PRDs) should be inspected during installation and at regular intervals to maintain reliability. At E²G, our team of internationally recognized experts in PRS design, optimization, and installation assess and evaluate new or existing systems to provide practical recommendations to maximize reliability and profitability. We help you maintain safety-critical PRS and develop practical mitigation solutions to meet risk management targets, compliance requirements, and business objectives.

Testimonials

“The team did a great job answering all of my questions and completed the project in a timely manner. I was impressed by the group’s knowledge on PRVs. It was a pleasure to work with E²G.”

“I have recommended E²G to contractors with similar Tube Rupture scenarios. I expect that we will have other projects for E²G in the future. Good communication and driven to complete project. Staff at E²G also helped our team with API 520/521 code interpretation which resulted in significant cost savings.”

“We really appreciate all the hard work from you and your team on this effort. Your expertise and direction on this investigation proved to be crucial in understanding the damage and necessary steps to ensure a safe and reliable startup… We look forward to working with The Equity Engineering Group in the future.”
