Gain Insight into the Performance of Your Pressure Relief Valves

Undetected Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) relief events may affect valve performance, leading to leakage or failure to reclose after a release. In addition to safety and regulatory concerns, an undetected failure may cause significant costs in product and energy losses that will remain unnoticed for years.

Benefits of PRV Monitoring

Monitoring PRVs provides real-time information enabling you to proactively develop proper corrective action, optimize maintenance schedules and improve asset management while ensuring regulatory compliance.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
  • Immediate notification of events to reduce severity of releases
  • Time-stamped alerts for root cause analysis, simplifying compliance
SAFETY
  • Monitor relief events without manual rounds, keeping employees safe
  • Real-time logging enables faster and precise corrective actions
RELIABILITY
  • Detect leakage caused by improper valve seating and stuck open values
  • Real-time analytics to increase availability optimizing overhaul scheduling
COST REDUCTION
  • Troubleshoot correlating relief events against process data
  • Adjust operating pressures to improve plant performance

EPA Miscellaneous Organic Chemicals (MON) Regulation for Monitoring PRDs

Subpart FFFF of the 40 CFR 63 National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) applies to new and existing Miscellaneous Organic Chemical (MON) manufacturers.


This regulation indicates that all PRDs in HAP service must be equipped with a monitoring device by August 12th, 2023.  Download the flier

 

Who does the MON regulation apply to?

The regulation applies to all existing and new Miscellaneous Organic Chemicals manufacturing process units that have the possibility of emitting Hazardous Air Pollutants. The HAP emitted from MON manufacturing facilities include (but are not limited to) toluene, ethylene oxide, methanol, xylene, hydrogen chloride, and methylene chloride.

What does the Pressure Relief Device (PRD) section entail?

Applicable PRDs are required to be equipped with a monitoring device that must be able to:
  • Detect the presence of a pressure relief event
  • Record the time and duration of the event
  • Immediately notify operators when a relief event occurs
  • Estimate the mass quantity in pounds of released HAPs
