RMS - Reactivity Management Software

RMS, a Windows-based software program, allows users to quickly and easily design safety systems that accommodate abnormal runaway chemical reactions and determine the necessary relief-venting requirements.

RMS Applications

• API & DIERS RELIEF SYSTEM SIZING
  Requires only a few key input parameters
  Includes tailpipe and relief device analysis
• DEFLAGRATION
  Simulation of fast evolving flame fronts
• FIRE LOAD
  Performs fire exposure simulation
  Requires only a few inputs
• INBREATHING/OUTBREATHING
  Easily calculates breathing requirements
  Minimal inputs required
• RUNAWAY REACTIONS
  Gassy System
  - Analytical solution yields ideal vent area as a function of overpressure
  Hybrid System
  - Analytical solution yields ideal vent area as a function of overpressure
  - Transient solution provides time-dependent behavior for a given vent configuration
  Vapor System
  - Performs fire exposure simulation
  - Models various types of relief behavior
  - All vapor venting (complete disengagement)
  - All liquid venting (bottom discharge)
  - Homogeneous-vessel venting (uniform froth)
  - Bubbly flow regime venting (foamy mixture)
  - Churn-flow regime venting (non-foamy mixture)
