Effective ERS Design was developed with the objective of offering operating companies, engineering firms, and regulatory authorities with a structured training program for a wide range of ERS design, risk management, and compliance issues. The program offers three core modules plus a wide choice of electives directed towards more complex ERS design challenges and methodologies.

Core modules include the following:
•  Core Module 1: Practical ERS Design
The Practical ERS Design module serves as an ERS primer and focuses on industry codes/standards, regulatory requirements, ERS contingencies, calculation methodologies, and ERS data management.
•  Core Module 2: Advanced ERS Design
The Advanced ERS Design module covers complex design issues such as chemical reactivity, multiphase flow, dynamic modeling, effluent systems design, etc. Special emphasis is placed on balancing design and safety considerations with cost.
•  Core Module 3: Applied ERS Design
The Applied ERS Design module demonstrates how state-of-art ERS design and information management systems can be applied to execute turnkey ERS projects of any scale with accuracy and consistency in a cost effective manner.

Elective modules include the following:
•  Elective Module 1: Auditing Emergency Relief Systems
The Auditing Emergency Relief Systems module provides guidance on how to conduct efficient and effective internal / external ERS audits to ensure compliance, safety, and reliability. Special emphasis is placed on how operating companies can leverage past efforts to bring their ERS documentation into compliance.

•  Elective Module 2: Best Practice for Managing Chemical Reactivity
The Best Practice for Managing Chemical Reactivity module provides an overview of the hazards of chemical reactivity, assessment of reactive scenarios, and screening / experimental techniques utilized for modeling kinetic data. Special emphasis is placed on the ongoing industry debate on managing chemical reactivity.

•  Elective Module 3: Risk-Based Techniques for Overpressure Analysis
The Risk-Based Techniques for Overpressure Analysis module demonstrates the application of quantitative or simi-quantitative risk-based methodologies for addressing overpressure situations. Topics include the application of fault tree analysis (FTA), safety instrumented systems (SIS), and layer of protection analysis (LOPA).
