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.

Information available from a VSP2™ Test Include:

• Heat of reaction
• Total adiabatic temperature rise
• Adiabatic kinetics parameters (1st order)
• Rates of temperature and pressure rise
• Reaction onset temperature
• System vapor pressure versus temperature
• Time to maximum rate
• Maximum temperature and pressure
• Two-phase flow regime
• Temperature of no return
• Resident incubation time to decomposition
