Through the pump system curve, what can we get at a specific flow rate?
Remember! This is the pump system curve not the performance curve

When protecting our system from overpressure, which one of these is not considered as equipment protection in HAZOP?
Control loops are more subject to failure and their failure may even be the cause of overpressure which we should already be addressing, that's why we should add another safeguards to protect from overpressure such as pressure safety valves and using safety interlocks to stop the overpressure source.

When emptying a vessel containing hydrocarbons, where do we send the hydrocarbon liquid inside the vessel?
14 / 15
In case we don't have available instrument devices with the proper SIL rating, what can we do so that our safety instrumented function reaches the required SIL rating?
15 / 15
We should add a pressure safety valve on a centrifugal pump discharge to protect the discharge system from overpressure.
For a centrifugal pump, we can consider the design pressure of the discharge system to withstand the maximum shutoff pressure. Here the system shall be fully rated and no need for additional protection.
