4. Conclusion

The difficulties encountered in sizing emergency vents for hydrogen peroxide storage facilities using DIERS methods demonstrate the need to proceed with the utmost caution, especially when dealing with a major industrial activity such as the hydrogen peroxide industry. It is necessary to ensure that experimental determinations carried out with laboratory equipment do not introduce bias, and it is necessary to carry them out with the utmost care and reproducibility, especially when publishing the results.

The method of vent sizing must be chosen taking into account the known reality on an industrial scale. The homogeneous assumption and the assumption that the reaction medium is entrained according to this assumption should not be used if it is common knowledge that the liquid is not entrained, up to a hydrogen peroxide concentration of at least 65%, unless there...
