A relief valve is a valve used to enable the escape of steam or other fluid in cases of excessive pressure. By allowing some of the steam or fluid out, the build-up of pressure is reduced and explosions or other catastrophes are prevented.
Back Pressure Regulators (BPRs) work similarly to relief valves but a BPR emphasizes steady state pressure control instead of on/off actuation.
Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures. Pyrolysis processes have a wide variety of uses throughout industry—they are used to break down heavy hydrocarbons in oil refining, for example, and to reduce organic matter to elemental carbon for charcoal production. Pyrolysis reactors are particularly well suited for Equilibar technology because they involve Read More
