Cyclone Separator with Separate Catch Tank (See Figs. 26-17 and 26-18.) The sizing of a cyclone knockout drum for emergency relief systems is somewhat different from sizing a cyclone separator for normal process sei vice for the following reasons ... 

Unwanted reaction Clean and inspect equipment after each use Design with compatible materials contaminants. Maintain integrity of the system Design emergency relief system (ERS) for runaway scenario CCPS G-13 CCPS G-22 CCPS G-23 CCPS G-29... 

A polymerization process involving a monomer, an organic peroxide initiator and an organic solvent underwent an energetic runaway reaction. All the contents in the polymerization reactor were lost. The emergency relief system prevented major damage to the equipment.
