abstract: In process industry, failure or rupture of pressurized vessel is very dangerous especially when there is an escape of flammable gaseous mixture that can cause potential fire or explosion. One of the scenarios that causes such accidents is the blowdown process. Therefore, it becomes crucial to control blowdown process to prevent such accidents. It is important to design optimally to make sure that blowdown valve is according to the requirements. For the safe use of a pressure relief system, some of the parameters are critical, for example, selection of construction material, sizing of relief valves, temperature, and pressure, etc. There is no literature currently available that discusses all the mathematical models or simulation tools for optimum design of the blowdown process. This subject matters because the available models or tools cover different aspects of blowdown process. A meticulous review is required to present the applications of these models and tools based on the accidental scenarios. Therefore, this paper critically reviews the models and tools that are developed purposely to calculate optimum blowdown parameters based on fluid and vessel conditions. Recommendations are given for the development of new simulation tool to simulate phase change conditions especially when solid formation is involved. © 2019 Institution of Chemical Engineers
