Abstract

In order to design the venting size of styrene runaway reaction, the runaway reaction of styrene is simulated by Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC). The results show that the emergency relief system for styrene is vapour system, and the venting size is calculated by the Leung's method, Fauske's method and Fauske's engineer method in different conditions. It can be seen that thermal inertia factor φ, the relief pressure and the reactant mass per volume of reactor have great influence on the venting size. The venting size calculated by Fauske's engineer method is 0.6 times more than the results by Leung's method and Fauske's method.
