FAUSKE VSP - Vent Sizing Package 2
(only Germany, Switserland & Austria)
Fauske & Associates' Vent Sizing Package 2™ (VSP2™) utilizes state-of-the-art DIERS technology to obtain critical "off-normal" process design data. VSP2™ tests are used to model such upset scenarios as loss of cooling, loss of stirring, mischarge of reagents, mass-loaded upset, batch contamination and fire exposure heating. Tests can be run in a "closed" or "open" test cell mode, allowing for direct venting simulation. Test data include adiabatic rates of temperature and pressure change which can be directly applied to process scale to determine relief vent sizes, quench tank designs and other relief system design parameters related to process safety management.
The VSP2TM is a true adiabatic safety calorimeter for process hazard characterization.
Its versatile design directly simulates process conditions.
