[Example] TANK PRESSURIZATION PROBLEM This process separates a two-phase stream (stream 1) into vapor (stream 2) and liquid (stream 3) using a flash tank. Level in the tank is controlled by a negative feedback loop through a level controller. A pressure sensor monitors the tank pressure which is relayed back to the control room. Should the operator see a high pressure on the indicator, he is instructed to manually open valve V1 which drains the tank and reduces the pressure. The relief valve is designed to vent the vapor portion of the tank mixture when high tank pressure is encountered.

TOP EVENT: • Normal Conditions: • Flow in stream 1, 2, and 3. Tank 50% full. Level controller on automatic. Relief valve and V1closed. • Equipment Behavior: • Level Sensor : P5 increases when level increases. The sensor has stuck during operation. • Level Controller: P4 increases when P5 increases. The controller set point may be changed. The controller may be switched to manual operation. • Control Valve : Increasing P4 causes the valve to open. • Valve V1: The valve is manually operated. It may stick. • Relief Valve : The valve may fail shut. If the relief valve is full of liquid, it will not vent the system fast enough.
