Pressure Relief Valves: Environmental & Safety Benefits of High-Integrity Relief Systems
When it comes to protecting people, processes, and the environment, pressure relief valves are an essential part of any industrial safety system. At Heaps, we supply engineered safety solutions for the most demanding environments, none more so than the Farris 2700 Series Spring Loaded Safety Valve, a trusted model known for its robust design and versatility.
As industries across oil & gas, chemicals, power generation, and manufacturing seek cleaner, more reliable ways to control process pressure, high-integrity relief systems have come to the forefront.
Pressure Relief Valves and High-Integrity Protection
At the heart of any overpressure protection system lies a reliable pressure relief valve. These valves are designed to open at a predetermined pressure level, safely relieving excess pressure to prevent equipment damage and system failure.
Modern industrial operations increasingly demand high-integrity relief systems, combinations of safety components designed not only for protection but also for environmental performance. The 2700 Series, available from Heaps, offers a pressure relief solution engineered to meet this standard.
Farris 2700 Series: Trusted Performance and Design Flexibility
The 2700 Series Process Safety Relief Valve is built to deliver dependable protection across a wide range of applications and environmental conditions. It features:
- ASME NB Certification for Air, Steam & Water
- CE Approval for use in European markets
- Sizes ranging from 1/2″ x 1″ to 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
- Pressure range from 15 to 6,500 psig (1.0 to 448 barg)
- Temperature range from -450 to 750°F (-268 to 399°C)
These capabilities make the 2700 Series suitable for a variety of process media, including air, gas, vapour, steam, and liquids, all while ensuring optimal performance under extreme conditions.
Material and Configuration Options to Suit Every Environment
Environmental safety depends not just on performance, but on choosing the right materials for each application. The 2700 Series offers a broad selection of material options to ensure corrosion resistance, durability, and compliance:
- Carbon Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Low and High Temperature Alloy Steels
- Monel®
- Hastelloy C®
- Duplex Steel
- NACE Compliant Materials
To complement this, the valve is available in various designs and connections to support high-integrity system configurations:
- Threaded and Flanged connections
- Full nozzle design for consistent flow characteristics
- Options including O-Ring Seat, Balanced Design, Socket Weld, Welding Nipple, and Sanitary Connections
These flexible configurations make it easy to integrate the 2700 Series into modern plant systems where environmental safety and process integrity are non-negotiable.
Meeting Environmental Goals with Proven Pressure Relief Technology
As industries aim to reduce emissions, eliminate hazardous leaks, and improve operational sustainability, incorporating a well-specified pressure relief valve is crucial.
While newer systems such as High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS) often work to shut off flow before an overpressure event occurs, a dependable pressure relief valve remains a critical final safeguard. The 2700 Series’ wide pressure and temperature range, combined with its robust material construction, ensures it remains dependable in the most demanding environments.
By preventing system overpressure and safely handling various process media, the 2700 helps plants reduce risk and comply with increasingly strict environmental standards, while avoiding unplanned downtime and costly damage.
Applications Across Critical Industries
The versatility of the Farris 2700 Series makes it ideal for a wide range of applications:
- Air and Gas Systems – Ensuring pressure remains within safe operating limits
- Steam and Vapour Lines – Handling high-temperature, high-pressure releases
- Liquid Processing – Protecting systems that process flammable or corrosive fluids
With a range of material and connection options, the valve can be matched precisely to the conditions of each site, giving engineers peace of mind and consistent performance.
