Evolving industry guidelines are changing the way Oil & Gas companies approach process safety in pressure relief, blowdown and flare systems. Best practice now increasingly puts high-fidelity dynamic modelling techniques at the centre of materials of construction decisions, pressure relief sizing and flare capacity assessments. SPSE’s Centre of Expertise in pressure relief, flare and blowdown hosts seminars and webinars to improve understanding of the importance of accurate assessment in Oil & Gas system design.
Public seminars
SPSE hosts free, public seminars in major Oil & Gas industry hub cities. The seminars explain the importance of high-fidelity modelling approaches, when they should be applied and how they fit in with engineering workflows and industry guidelines (such as API 521). Three seminar topics are presented periodically in free, half-day seminars:
Webinars
SPSE hosts free, public webinars covering a range of topics in relief, blowdown and flare system design and operation. Webinars are typically 45 minutes followed by a live Q&A session with the presenter. Topics are scheduled on a rolling basis throughout the year with archived recordings available on-demand.
