During depressurization of CO 2 mixture from high pressure vessel, the chances of solidification increase and the mixture undergo sudden complex phase behavior changes that can lead to accidental events. By avoiding solidification and controlling the complex phase transitions, the chances of accident and unscheduled breakdowns can be minimized. In this paper, a simulation study is presented for the depressurization of highly pressurized vessel containing the ternary mixture of CO 2 /N 2 /H 2 S. The simulation is performed over different blowdown valves with orifice sizes of 4.325 mm, 6.325 mm, and 8.325 mm using BLOWDOWN software package in Aspen HYSYS® V9 to predict the phase behavior of mixture and changes in the temperature and pressure. The results indicate that the chances of an accident are minimized by avoiding the solidification during depressurization process using blowdown valve with an orifice diameter of 4.325 mm. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2018 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85059426919&doi=10.1088%2f1757-899X%2f458%2f1%2f012077&partnerID=40&md5=fb7722f57a368cde06f55d98b3451a46 id_number: 10.1088/1757-899X/458/1/012077 full_text_status: none publication: IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering volume: 458 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 17578981 citation: Shafiq, U. and Shariff, A.M. and Babar, M. and Ali, A.
