This paper discusses how to use the simulation data obtained from the adiabatic reaction calorimeter (ARC) to design the emergency relief system for chemical reactors and storage vessels to overcome the problem of reactors explosions resulted from excessive pressure and thus the disastrous incidents can be avoided. Here the styrene polymerization reaction is choosen as the reaction system to describe the design of emergency relief system using the ARC data. The simulation results show that the change of the initiator and the monomer concentration will influence the maximum temperature, pressure and the rate of temperature rise in the reactor. The simulation results also illustrate that in the designing of the emergency relief system, the larger the overpressure is, and the smaller the vent diameter will be needed.
