Emergency Vent Cover

Model KSEP Emergency Vent and manhole cover opens to greatly increase the venting capacity of petroleum storage tanks when the internal pressure rises above the setpoint.
It remains closed tightly at all internal pressure below the settings. This unit also provides easy access into the tank the most common source of this internal pressure is fire exposure.

Type KSEP provides emergency pressure relief only.
The vessel's breather valve must supply vacuum relief requirement.
The type KSEV is the same as the KSEP and in addition offers a spring loaded vacuum relief valve as an integral part of emergency pressure relief cover assembly.

According to API 2000 Code
The series KSES is designed to provide emergency pressure relief for storage tanks when exposed to overpressures that are not handled by standard tank vents.
These vents provide the capacity to meet API standard 2000 for emergency venting due to fire exposure when properly sized.
These covers also provide quick easy access for tank inspection and maintenance.

Vent Operation

The KSES emergency pressure relief vent provides pressure relief only.
Vacuum relief must be supplied by normal venting devices, or use our KSESV emergency pressure and vacuum relief vent covers.
When excessive pressure builds within the storage tank the KSES series emergency pressure relief vent begin to open at a predetermined set pressure relieving excessive pressure.
When the overpressure has dissipated the cover reseat onto the base.

Construction

The series KSES is available in several materials that are corrosion resistant to most petroleum product applications.
