DIERS Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems... 

Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) Institute under the auspiees of the Ameriean Institute of Chemieal Engineers funded to investigate design requirements for vent lines in the ease of two-phase venting. 

Accordingly, to emphasize the safety problems affecting all industrial process plants and laboratories, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers established the industry-supported Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems. The purposes of the Institute are [51] ... 

The design of relief systems has been studied by the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS), established by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Fisher (1985). DIERS has published recommended design methods see Poole (1985) and AIChemE (1992a,b). Computer programs based on the work by DIERS are also available. 

The Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. A collaborative group of companies and organisations. 

At present, there is no comprehensive gujdance on this topic However, it has been the subject "of much, research, particularly by the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AlChE). As a result, the DIERS Project Manual[1] (a, record of the DIERS research) and a considerable number of papers have been published. This Workbook summarises the main hand calculation methods (which do not.need. the use of a computer) available as a result of this work and their limits of applicability. A number of worked examples are given to. help the reader understand their application. The experimental information required to size an emergency relief, system properly is also discussed.. ...
