    The document discusses gas blowby, which occurs when gas discharges through a liquid outlet in a process component. This can be caused by a failure of the liquid level control system or an inadvertent opening of a control valve bypass. One effect is overpressure downstream, and a detectable low liquid level indicates gas blowby may have occurred. The maximum flow through a control valve depends on its Cv rating and the pressure drop across the valve.

    Gas Blowby Case

    Gas Blowby is the discharge of gas from a process component through a liquid outlet. It can be
    caused;

    -Failure of a liquid level control system.


    - Or in advertent opening of the control valve by pass.

    One of the effects of gas blow by can be overpressure in a downstream component. Of course,
    the low level is the detectable condition that indicates gas blowby may be occurred.

    This picture below show gas blowby case

    Please note, gas blowby case is applicable if only the design pressure of downstream equipment lower
    than the upstream pressure.

    The maximum flow through control valve is depends on the control valve Cv and the pressure drop
    across the control valve. The following picture show an example formula from one of control valve
    Vendor; please note, each Vendor has their own formula that might different in each other. I give this
    formula to show you what the variable that has affect to flowrate through the control valve
    Relieve Rate = W = Wcv – Wnor

    W = Relieving rate

    *Wcv = Maximum flow through valve

    Wnor = Normal flow through valve

    *The maximum flow through control valve should be calculated with the following data

     Selected CV of control valve


     Normal inlet pressure
     Relieving pressure as outlet pressure
