Pressure safety relief valve is the key component in any system where pressure rising could be hazardous to safety of the workers as well as plant. Though electronically operated safety controls are there, but to take care of any malfunctioning in it, mechanically operated relief valve is necessary. In oil refinery sector, safety is of prime important. The clay canisters are used to refine the oil. Sometimes these canisters get clogged and pressure rising may take place. The key requirement of process is to relieve this pressure rise in no time. Conventional valves are unable to fulfill that requirement. This paper focuses on design and analysis of an emergency safety valve by Design by Analysis (DBA) approach. From the data given by the client, suitable valve is designed using FEA. The working environment is hazardous & explosive; hence ASME code is used to design. This valve is a onetime operating valve used as tertiary safety arrangement for critical applications.
