Critical components for plants and refineries, relief valves help operators avoid a variety of safety concerns related to system overpressurization – but only if they’re placed in the right locations. That includes in high-pressure systems, when toxic fluids or chemicals are used, and when sensitive equipment is involved. Placed strategically, relief valves can help facilities vent excess system pressure buildups due to procedural error, component wear, contamination, or loss of power.
