SURGE RELIEFE SKID

In liquid handling applications such as onshore and offshore pipelines, storage terminals, and marine loading or unloading facilities, surge relief systems are essential for protecting equipment, personnel, and the environment from damaging pressure surges. These surges can occur whenever there is a rapid change in liquid velocity within the pipeline, caused by events such as thermal expansion, sudden valve closures, or pump trips. Effective system design must account for multiple critical factors, including potential pressure increases, fluid volumes passing through the relief system, and the overall pressure containment capability of the pipeline network. Proper surge mitigation is vital to prevent flange separation, leakage, and severe piping damage.

Packaged surge relief skids offer compact, easy-to-integrate solutions that provide reliable surge protection and flow control through proven technologies and extensive application expertise. These systems are suitable for a wide range of fluids including crude oil, LPG, refined products, petrochemicals, and various industrial chemicals. By effectively controlling transient pressures, surge relief skids enable pipelines to operate safely near their Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP), contributing to improved operational efficiency and reduced overall system design costs.
